POSTER TIME

This is the last ever practical piece of work I'll be submitting this year... feels so strange! I want this to be the best, the final and therefore most informed illustration I've made in Level 4.


I don't feel like this is worthy of that place. It's not good enough to be the last thing I make! I want to completely redo it but there's not enough time and I know that my presentation is more important at this point.

It's not awful, but it's just not what I want to end my year on. There's nothing I particularly hate I just don't think it's as exciting or interesting as it could be. It's basic and a little predictable.


This pose feels more immediately obvious as an anatomical/medical diagram.
Have I played it safe by making a doll in the same way I always do? I want to push myself over summer and try some new techniques. Just because I'm enjoying making dolls/puppets doesn't mean I should stick with this - I need to keep pushing it and find ways of making them better, function better, look better, move better!

I like doing something different and out of the box, making things that noone expects or has seen before, so I need to keep moving. I need to keep my work interesting by interesting myself! I can't expect to make something new and innovative if it doesn't excite me.

I think I went wrong at the concept. I didn't spend long enough thinking about ideas for the poster, so I went with one of the first things I thought of.
