Fortnightly 'Critchen'

My housemates and I decided to name our group crib's 'Critchen' sessions, as the crib's take part in our kitchen.

These will take place every other Wednesday. I find these really useful so far because we all know where we are all at in our own projects; whereas sometimes with group crib's in class, we haven't seen different peoples work before, and it is more difficult to give suggestions as to where to go with their project because we have only just seen what they have been building up to there and then.

My Queries

• I feel like I keep getting mixed messages from the tutors and people in our class, for example does our animation have to be two colours as well? (504)
• I'm not sure on what to do for my animation (504) 
• Does any competition count for responsive? Could it count for PPP as well? (503/502)
• I'm not too sure on my essay title and where I am going for the whole of COP (501)
• Need some feedback on my zine cover, does it look too plain? (502)

Housemates Feedback

• Apparently, the animations and prints have to link and both be two colours...try greyscale with the brusho prints I have produced; or use photoshop to pick out two colours.
• For the animation you could try the LSD things? Try and find some music that associated with that kind of thing.
• We are unsure about that too, so we will ask the tutors which applies for PPP and which applies for Responsive.
• With the COP essay; what do you want to focus on more? Is it the public's opinion of obese people? (this way you might not get that many references in) or The NHS's view; and how they could spend money elsewhere??
• Zine cover does look a bit too plain. You could make the front cover look like the front of an actual pub? For example put bricks, doors, roof tiles and gutters on!

Things I will take forward from here/reflection

• I definitely feel more confident at where I am with all of the projects, I have definitely progressed and become more focused since the last Critchen.
• I clarify and ask the tutors about the things I am unsure about in terms of project briefs.
• DO MY ZINE ASAP!
• Dedicate a good evening to COP; I feel like I have been neglecting it somewhat. In this time, properly research into my essay question; what is it that I ACTUALLY want to find out?
