Fuck you, meme, I’m still resizing my photo. >(
Yesterday I had my very first crit at Uni, which basically means showing the work you’ve been doing to your class and tutor. The thought of this scared the bajesus out of me as A) I’m not exactly the most confident of people and hate the focus being on me, B) Despite the fact my class is really nice and I get on really well with everybody in there, I’m always worried they’ll think my work is crap/wonder how I got on the course etc, and C) My tutor made my friend in Illustration cry last week. 
So yeah, I wasn’t looking forward to the experience at all.
So the work that was being crit’d was our “Point of Sale” partnered studio project and our ‘Observations’ darkroom project. We’d also done studio headshots and photograms but didn’t have time crit them, but thats okay as I’m satisfied with my headshots and I’ve done photograms 9458904589034 times before anyway. Luckily we didn’t have the scary makes-people-cry tutor for our crit, but instead the guy who guided me on Point of Sale project who’s really nice so it made me feel a little more at ease.
Basically, he said he was pleased with the outcome of my Point of Sale project, and thought I worked well within my team, and everyone in my class really liked it. He also said that my Observations project was ok- the print quality was good, and they were good technically (I’d hope so too… I’ve done darkroom work before; I hated it then, and I hate it now), but my compositions tend to be messy. But that’s fine, I can live with that. No tears were shed, no rage ensued. Overall I got a pretty good crit.
