On Wednesday (11/11/09) I went to visit David Sedgwich . He told us how to possible make a book as a leave behind and helpful hints like that which he touched on in the lecture he did with us at Stockport college. He preferred us to talk through the portfolio then he came back to us with advise. It was quite daunting to talk about your walk in front of a professional designer but was a helpful exercise to get used to doing that. He told us if we are unsure of the work do not put it in, and also to check the print quality of some of the images in the portfolio.
He kept reassuring that everybody has different opinions so don't take everything to heart but i prefer the honesty, and as i am getting through my visits early on in the final year i have enough time to adjust the faults.
The min thing i took out of the visit was not to hesitate when going through your own work and show confidence. If it is hard to talk about it shouldn't really be in there. For example he told us to explain our flash stings in more detail including the progress, as flash was a soft wear Dave was not very aware of.
When it came to my portfolio Dave gave me some good guidance. He also said the photography work was not needed. He liked my kitchen of meaning work but suggested going back to the original photographs to make it more personal. He also liked the Pantone work and suggested showing as a series and to try find a better way of showing the idea.
If i had time Dave suggested expanding the idea of my British dental museum and dropping the colour repetitions.
Today was very successful and i feel more confident in where i need to build on my work.
