In the crit our partner was tasked with choose 5 from our collection of 10 we had created, vice versa, then these from the groups we were in were put onto the wall. This was really cool to eliminate some of the weaker ones to see everyones strongest outcomes, Sarah choose the right letters to take out I feel and I'm glad I wasn't the only one to see the weaker additions to my work. We then switched tables and took down another groups letters they had put up, bringing their wall collection down to 5 as well, over all out of the 10 of them. The letterforms that were left up I feel were the right ones, we worked well as a group and I actually enjoyed this crit. It was a bit different to what I'm used to but it was great way to discuss the letters over such a long period of time and still being active with what's going on.
For my final letterforms, I have to say I'm pretty pleased with them. I think some are a lot more powerful then the others, notably the T and the W. I feel are maybe two real powerful ones. I think that's maybe because of the enhancement through tracing them and on top of that using A.Illustrator to create the effect. In mind for them I was thinking how to combine layers in the third dimension, Instead of flat layering, inspiration from M.C.Esher there a little bit. The two I feel that don't really work would go to the G and H. Simply because the effect isn't all that to clear and they just aren't stand out, personally. It was an idea I had, I just couldn't execute it how I wanted to in time. The other letters I feel have middle-ground such as the D and the B (which has similarities too the E. But they feel really obvious to me and I don't feel much for them.
