presentation

Yesterday I delivered my 'work in progress' presentation at the lecture theatre.  The presentation took a lot of preparation and it served a good purpose in focussing my intentions.

Generally I think it was received favourably.  Comments included 

• the difficulty of marrying together the theory of feminism with the visual representation in a design 
• a comment that I shouldn't call my drawings 'naive' - the viewer should decide whether they are naïve
• that my feminist quotes are not 'curious' enough
• interesting juxtaposition of b/w and colour
• neckties are an interesting idea.

  The comment about the quotes is an interesting one...I responded that I didn't want to alienate non feminists by being accusatory.  I take the point though and, as this blog will testify, I have considered using headlines or statistics. 

It was an interesting day.  It was good to see the work of other students.....I was knocked out by the research undertaken by students and I particularly enjoyed the fine art images.
