I did it!
This post is a couple days past due, but I freaking did it! I made it out alive. My first critique was Tuesday night. I was working up until a couple hours before my critique to get everything done, but somehow it all worked out. I was the second design student to go to critique, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Sitting out in the hallway was nerve racking. Everybody was rushing past me in the crazy panic that is critique week. Public speaking is certainly not my thing, but I did my best to shrug off the nervousness and just get through it. Within the first few sentences, my mouth was totally dry and my hand was shaking so badly I could barely get my bottle of water to my mouth. I must have downed a swig of confidence from that bottle because it seemed to be smooth sailing after that. The panel was really nice and I received some great feedback from my work. Although, my flipbook fell apart as the panel was flipping through it and my product took a major fail dive as well, which was quite embarrassing.
Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures of my work yet since we had to leave it all behind. I’ll be sure to get some pictures up as soon as I get it back.
I can’t wait for next quarter!
