Final crit - 16 may 2011 - What A Day!!!!

Wow what a day - 8.30am - 9.30pm at Hadlow College - it was intense but we got through it and well done to everyone for really going for it.

I am so proud of how far i have come- firstly i never thought i would be doing a degree- let alone do well in it. Throughout the past three years i have learnt so much as a designer and a gardener, i have met some inspirational people and made some great friends. I will be sad to leave our little set up, but i look forward to seeing their fantastic designs in the future.

Thank you to Jamie, Julia and Paula for all your guidance and blunt hints!!
I'm sure you will be proud come final exhibition.



Here are some of my A1 sheets that i pinned up for my final crit.-
(I will put more up tomorrow, just need to resize them for the blog)

I am now going through my check list of work to do and to check, check, check and check again over everything i have done, before i print them again ready for the final exhibition.

FINAL CRIT!!! 16/ 05/ 2011

Final crit!!! wow what a day this has been- up early , get to hadlow to pin up x 16 A1 presentation sheets, take model, take all overlay sheets, all development working out, take all sketch books, oh yea and me!

I was first to present - it went well ,at least i think it did, to be honest i don't remember much of what i said due to nurves but once it came to the 10 min question time i was fine- i knew my answers and i gave them with confidence. -I know this park so well i have been there in my dreams!! Is this borderline madness? or has this happened to everyone??

Due to me now being in some strange mood of I'm done - I'm not done- over tired - hyper-active- restless-very happy - anxious- keen- excited - state i forgot to take a photo of my work on the wall!!! but luckily my little victorian terrace has a very steep stair case that Jamie would hate the riser/ tread ratio!!! - it has a tall wall that i can practice my pin up on!!

On wednesday i will post my work that was pinned up today -

Well done everyone- were nearly there - on the home run lets give it our all!!!

Good luck!

the final push paid off,,,

This past week i have gone through all my work, checked , checked and checked again- and now its printed i can still find mistakes and things missing!!!!!! typical!

So final crit is tomorrow- we have space to pin up x 16 A1 sheets , along with all sketch books, portfolio and model!!!  Then we have 5 mins to present all our work- possible? Probably not for me!!!
