Tabula Rasa......

My work has been slated again...I do feel a bit gutted, I genuinely thought I'd made some progress and I actually liked the final logo I'd come up with. I know it isn't stunning but I at least thought I'd get more positive feedback. I'm under no illusion that I have to prove myself to the other students and earn the right to be there.

From looking at some of the other students work, I don't think mine is any worse but I can see the standard that I need to reach.

It is odd though (in as much as that I'm surprised) that some of the more simple designs work very well, the sets that are just plain colour and fonts are good, but I rejected that idea myself as I thought it too obvious. As for the designs of the worked and reworked newsprint, that is something I have seen many times. While I don't deny that this work is good, I didn't attempt something like that because I felt it would be hackneyed and trite.

What I have yet to reach then is a point where I suspend my notions of composition and look at this anew. Even now, as I write this, the ideas I have had in the last few hours since the crit now seem no better that what I have already shown.
