If it were that easy everyone would be doing it.

My Achilles heel throughout the degree has been my presentation. If the winds blowing in the right direction and the gods look favourably then I can usually come up with some OK ideas but trying to convey this to clients has always been immensely frustrating.

Every pin up we have I get ( rightly) criticised for my presentation. At that point I go away and come up with another style and enter the same vicious circle. It culminates in me feeling fairly despairing and Jamie firmly instructing me to sketch more. My reaction to this is the same as when you tell someone you want to loose weight and they tell you to eat less. If it were that simple everyone would be doing it!


This week however I've had to develop yet another presentation style that doesn't look like my 5 year old niece has done it. We were also given old students research documents and among them was Joh Bates. His design identity seemed fairly similar to mine and his presentation was incredibly simplistic. I'd always struggled because I was trying to present a style that was a bit more refined. However it got me thinking about developing a more rustic style and ladies and gents I may just be getting somewhere with it. I've completely redone my sequential sketches and sections this week and they seem to be looking a little better. They certainly show some perspective and depth - maybe Jamie was right ( for goodness sake don't tell him)

We'll see at pin up on Monday...........
