Interim evaluation 2

Having a much better understanding of the project now has made for a better experience, the output I’m creating has a purpose, rather than things being thrown at the wall. The draught essay submission is coming up, and for the first time I can say I have a confidence in the work I am uploading for it this time, comparing to previous years. It’s still far from being complete, but I feel is showing signs of a solid foundation. I’m also starting to engage with the physical work, experimenting with AR thanks to the research driving my practice.

The comic itself is coming along nicely, finding both layouts to work with on pages, and an aesthetic that suits a specific, younger demographic. The AR work is exciting, instilling a need to play with the medium and refine to the best of my abilities. And as previously mentioned, I feel I am in a good place with the essay, ideas are forming and I have a solid groundwork to build from, especially once I get the feedback from the draught submission. Receiving this will allow me to continue my body of research also. The subjects covered within the essay currently are reaching their limit, and the subject could be expanded upon.

I do have concerns that if I delve too deeply in to the AR work, I may focus too heavily on it. It is a subject that really interests me, but there isn’t any doubt in my mind that the comic is of more importance. I’m also uncertain as to whether I have enough information and concepts for the world of walk among the giants to start developing the comic itself, an action to take would be to stretch the conceptual phase a little further, develop a more confident idea as to how the comic should look overall.
