Statement of Intent - Peer Review 2

Comment on Clarity of Rationale
Strengths

Pretty clear - identified what type of work you want to do and the sort of thing you want to do post college
Suggestions
Be careful 603 doesn't encroach on 601 too much there has to be a synthesis but it's got to be balanced well

Comment on Clarity and Appropriatness
Strengths
Lots of stuff, know what you want to say in your work which is great
Suggestions
Maybe but it down a little bit? A lot are technically sub-themes. You don't need to go too mad

Comment on appropriateness of products and distribution
Strengths
You identified products and M.O.D's which is good
Suggestions
Any other things? Illustration fields? I know tattooing and sub-culture is where your heart is but you'd be a great political artist

Comment on appropriateness of skills/meda
Strengths

Lots of proposed media to work with
Suggestions
I know Aggy is right,  more formats your work could go into would be great, Where else do you see your work?

Briefs
Brief 1 : Tattoo Flash
Clarity appropriateness of Brief
Good portfolio builder if you're looking for apprenticeships after work
Considerations/Suggestions
Be sending these out to practices you like, Get Feedback.

Brief 2: Anti Briefs
Clarity appropriateness of Brief
The perfect thing for you, a great way to do competition briefs without having to suffer their bullshit
Considerations/Suggestions
Be careful not to get bogged down in bad briefs, taking the piss is fun but try not to get too bogged down

Brief 3: I-D
Clarity appropriateness of Brief
Has potential to be a really thoughtful project
Considerations/Suggestions
What are the images to be used in? Book/Mag/Internet? What's their purpose?

Brief 4: Animation
Clarity appropriateness of Brief
Good skill builder, lead you out your comfort zone.
Considerations/Suggestions
Where are they going to go? What are they going to be about?

Breif 5: Flyers
Clarity appropriateness of Brief
Really funny, has potential to be be bigger again
Considerations/SuggestionsAgain, lacks context. Think they'd be great in a book/zine

General Comments:
You have clear direction but I think you run the risk of pigeon holing youself too much. You have a lot of really good things to say - Why not explore some work about stuff that piss' you off about today's society?
