I'll be the first to say that what I produced this week was just BLAH. I knew the critique today wasn't going to be fun as I set out my PDF's, and a sinking feeling took hold of my stomach and didn't let go. I'm not one to make excuses or blame others for why my work was BLAH so I wont mention the hours I had to work this week and all the other assignments I had. This week was nothing short of my priorities slapping me in the face and then rearranging themselves.
For the cover I used the Boys to Men story and a HOT WHEELS car to illustrate the little boy angle. I thought by taking the little car and enlarging it to take over the cover, it would also look add the 'Man' element from the Title. I thought this solution would be a better one than using those goofy photos we were given. I think using a car to illustrate the story and having the second story being about cars was a little confusing. So I completely understood what Jan was saying in class.
As far as the feature I just ran out of time. It would have been more worth while if all the time I would have spent on the cover would have showed more. I work at the Tin Can on the weekends and under estimated the number of tables I had for the play off games. I just ran out of time. I think the other part too was not being 100% sure of the risks I could take.
I got home from class made some popcorn and had a two hour pouting session while I watched Oprah. I acknowleged the fact that I just have to keep going and I need to stop being so dramatic. One bad day in design. Lock it up Kelly.
