Reflection and Third Self Portrait

This crit involved discussing my own ideas for current projects and what I am considering for the future of my practice. So far, I am looking at American Psycho and responding to it in a ‘Folio Society’ kind of way although this may change. In a one to one tutorial last week it was discussed that I could probably look into my other favourite books and note how they reflect on society, possibly becoming a publication or zine. In the future of my practice I want to be able to make some kind of living from my work. My work isn’t classified as applied illustration and I don’t intend it to be so am going to hopefully make a living by working on briefs for editorial, or just selling my prints whenever I can.

My ambitions for my portfolio so far will be screen and digital prints of my editorial responses from both final and second year. As well as this I hope to include some of my character design which I am currently in the process of producing this year with my pumpkin man and characters from literature.

It has been noticed that my screen prints have been really successful and I have strong character design. However, I may need to consider the layout of my work. Rather than one big image, would it be more suited to make more small images as a collection (especially the work for the ‘YouOkHun’ zine) which I’m going to develop further. As well as looking further into my idea for the literature/society work where I am currently looking at American Psycho but intend to move onto other books.

Reflection and Second Self Portrait (7x7 image)

Reflecting on the notes made in the second crit were generally positive so I intend on continuing the work I am currently making. Although I am considering picking up the pace to gain a larger body of work and experimentation to make stronger final outcomes.

The part I have been struggling the most is the BICeBe Poster Call brief which involves making a GIF based on women’s empowerment. So far, I have considered my research and development quite weak. However, a peer commented that the concept of my current development is interesting and to keep going. This has definitely made me reconsider my thoughts on the work and I plan on continuing the development to see where it takes me.

The feedback on my American Psycho and pumpkin guy were completely positive. Although, it has been suggested that I give them a home. Should I look at more fictional horror characters? Should I make up my own? (Suppose this is kind of the pumpkin guy).

Upon reflection I need to focus on the direction of my work and where I feel most comfortable/motivated. I plan on focusing mostly on the American Psycho/ horror brief that I have made myself and look at other briefs on the side such as editorial briefs (which only take a day) and the women’s empowerment GIF which I need to look more closely into.
