Practical Investigation #2 - Crit/Feedback 9/1/18

Showed examples of artists' books by passing around 21st Century Artists' Books to overcome the lack of understanding that followed the last crit.

Feedback

Do you think the columns are too narrow? 


  • Group said they like the narrow columns as it opens up a lot of white space, however I need to avoid orphans. 
I enquired about whether I should integrate the text into the artwork:
  • Group agreed I should clearly lay out the text and then respond to it through the following pages. This aims to give the user more context about the work and increase understanding. This will overcome limitations of the artists’ book such as lack of understanding of the books/artists’ intent. 
  • However they said they would like to see some experimental typesetting on a few pages when necessary. 

Plan of action

Find some poems and trace structure and space
Sketch out some compositions
Start painting
