Week 4.1 - 1/10/18 - Not working, not working, not working.

Today in class I brought in my refined design from last week which I personally felt relatively happy with, the only thing I wasn't really confident with was the waves. However class today was extremely disheartening as while we spoke with the lecturers they told us to go and try multiple things that we've already attempted and was previously told weren't working - one of these things being moving Marinui into the foreground to create depth (UGHHHH!) 

I was also told the colours weren't working which I found to be a fair enough observation so I adapted my colour scheme to reflect the colours of Maddie's design in the hope of making the two cohesive and a little bit more collaborative: 

I found this to be beginning to work a lot better. I was also then told to fix the wave so I started doing that, but then was also told that I didn't need Marinui in there at all. Despite having been told I needed to make it more of a focus earlier in class. I was told to try working on it over the week and look into key aspects of Lyall Bay such as bringing in a plane to reflect the airport. 

Today's class was definitely a little bit of a kick as I came out of it feeling a wee bit disheartened, especially due to some of the feedback being we should try things that we've already been told don't work. I think Maddie was a wee bit upset too as a lot of the feed back she received was a bit the same. I also suggested working on each others posters to look at them with a fresh perspective, but that pretty much got shut down. After a lot of what she's been saying I kind of get the feeling we're going to go with her poster no matter what, but I'm still endeavouring to make mine the best I possibly can.
