Interim evaluation 3

I’m feeling especially productive this time; the comic has a clear direction, tone and aesthetic, allowing me to produce the work without distraction. I’m also feeling positive about the progress made with the essay, I feel that I am genuinely generating and receiving information that will positively impact my practice. There are also elements of triangulation I believe, the area I have always struggled with when writing essays. I have worked with the fears mentioned within the previous evaluation in mind, maintaining a focus on the comic rather than the AR piece.

Expanding on this, the essay and practical are absolutely impacting and working with each other, forming a synthesis, as information learnt from the essay effects how I approach comic creation. Likewise, from making the comic, I am finding it is instilling a further interest in the industry and process of others, professionals. Speaking of which, interviewing a professional has been incredibly beneficial to my essay writing, giving me information that I would have otherwise been unable to acquire, from someone with a better understanding and body of research in to the comics industry.

I need to maintain this focus, and work harder. My output is currently good, but it could be better. With a holiday period coming up, I need to ensure that I stick to my sketchbook and essay as well as relaxing. Speaking specifically, there are issues to address, my bibliography needs to undergo some scrutiny, currently being a dumping ground for useful links, rather than information impacting the essay. The comic could also use some order, as I am at a stage where I could start to bring some of the pages together and actually generate some outcomes.
