My project has scarcely changed since the summer, which is of some concern to me because it seems like it should have developed somewhere but it hasn't.
It doesn't make sense to have the other magazines represented with the same drawing style as the trashy mags because they don't look like that and at the minute I don't have drawings that do represent it. Nor do I have time to establish an aesthetic for each different page in the six remaining weeks.
I don't know why I'm making it fold out to A2 other than because it would be interesting to see, which doesnt feel like a good enough reason to go insane drawing it at that scale.
Also as much as I enjoyed working like this in the first place it now feels stagnant and laborious.
I don't know what I'm saying about magazines, I don't know who this is for and I don't know where it would exist.
The work at present is explorative which is a good starting point but I feel like something should have changed about the process by now, but it's exactly the same as in summer, just less enjoyable. And it takes too long to do these drawings to be able to start in what might be the wrong direction.
But I don't know what else to do.
We concluded in the crit that I would make one of four proposed fold out booklets, one for each magazine. This would mean I'd be making entirely new drawings but all trash magazine based for one and propose three more booklets on the other three magazines. So I would have to establish the aesthetic of the other magazines because the trash one doesnt work for other magazines, as well as the fully completed trash magazine booklet, which I'm sure is acheivable but I'm not sure this is the right way to be going. I don't see a development in my work, but maybe that will come with the other magazine aesthetics.
