Today we had a group critique of our showcase projects. Afterwards, we repaired the aftermath of our installations with spackling tools.
Mostly pictures today. This is a catching-up post. I’ll tell the story with images.

I went second, after Adnan. We were allowed three minutes to talk about our project and our experience at the showcase. After that, we received feedback. Here’s some of the suggestions I received. Forgive, the formatting - I copy/pasted from my notes.
sfpc blog project notes - PRINT ME - the path after school

- “having your own sketches spaced out”

the physical part of the book can be minimal - html book
The feedback I received was almost all positive. I was told that my project played to my strengths - writing, photography, and documentation - and I believe that to be true.
We were going to grab a group picture at Eyebeam on Wednesday but not everyone was there, so we made one today. I designated myself as class photog. Pretty happy with the results.
