I'm glad the class responded well to switching the angle in my pants piece, but Kim did point out a couple of flaws in the lighting I didn't entirely notice at first. I think the only way to really fix it is to re-shoot the pants. I got a great piece of feedback from a fashion major who wasn't in our critique too: it bothered her more than anything that the back of the pants wasn't visible. I'd really like to find a way to incorporate that back into the photo.
I'm having trouble remembering everything said about the traffic photograph, but it is something I'd be interested in turning into a series. That being said, I would like to develop a better way to overlay the cars on top of each other, I'm afraid I lose a bit too much detail and color, kind of giving the whole piece a ghostly feel. Maybe it works for the concept, but I'm up for more exploration.
I'm really glad I took the buttons and title screen out of the Zelda piece. It's a pretty straightforward concept that people could get without a multitude of pointless and slightly obnoxious clues. I still think more work needs to be put into the left side of the model. I fixed up his shirt quite a bit, but there's still a blur in this hat and hair that isn't really sitting well with me. This didn't come up in the critique, but upon reflection, I'd really dig some more contrast on the model himself, it would pull everything together really nicely.
I'm still really response at the positive response I got on my Fight Club poster. I still feel slightly like it's not my work, and I explained that in the credits under the title. I was curious if anyone would happen to glance at them during the crit, but to no avail. I did have a lot of fun with the piece though, and has made me much more open to trying it again in the future.
