Tutor Feedback Part 3. Reflection

As I mentioned in my post assignment reflection, I felt like I had missed some substantial content but could not identify what it was. Thankyou to my fabulous tutor for pointing me back in the right direction. What I love about the tutor feedback is the way its written, I missed out substantial chunks of information in my essay but still feel like I’ve had a motivational pep talk rather than a smack on the wrist, thankyou!! 🙂

There were several key aspects which I had completely missed from my essay which I will go back and re-draft prior to assessment.

They were –

  • lacking in quotes to support my views/arguments
  • unqualified statements (need to be more specific about who said what)
  • a reason why I chose to use ‘Show me the Monet’
  • views on graffiti as an art and the arguments for and against

My summary strengths were – Research Skills and Communication skills/writing

My area to work on is – undertake primary research

Due to my interest in graphic design for tv/film I also received the viewing suggestion of the Czech filmmaker Jan Svankmajer.

Tutor Feedback Part 2. Reflection

I was very happy with my tutor feedback for Part Two.

Reading ‘The Toymakers’ again for the Assignment was an absolute pleasure so I will gladly revisit it to apply the suggestions made by my tutor.

My other main areas to work on are; primary research on something of interest which relates to the topics of time and place, and to just generally get out and looking at exhibitions more. I absolutely agree that I do not do enough primary research either online or in person. This cant be blamed entirely on my job, when I do get time at home the prospect of going out to visit a gallery often slips down my list of things to do…..after sitting on the sofa and catching up with Great British Bake Off….

One area which I would like to learn more about is Typography so I might use this as my theme to investigate.

I do have a quite easily accessible local gallery, so I do need to get myself down there more to check out the different exhibitions that travel through the town. I would also like to visit the gallery ‘House of MinaLima’ in London which is owned by the two graphic designers who worked on the Potter/Fantastic Beasts franchise. It was this duo which made me realise that graphic designers can also work in film, which I find very appealing. Reading abut their work has led me on further to artists such as Annie Atkins who worked on ‘Grand Budapest Hotel’ amongst other things.
