This week started out by having a small critique of my work up to date. I met with Professor Endi Poskovic and we were able to have a conversation about my images and how to be able to push this project farther. Instead of just talking about the imagery he focused more on the process of making the images and the story behind every image. So based on his suggestions I started to thin of my project and try and figure out how I could push it even more.   
        I continued to play with compositions and started to play with size. Initially all my compositions have been small in size so I took the seven compositions form last week that have the most potential and printed them 11 inches by 17 inches. Next I played with different ways to crop them and see how I could push the drawings a little bit farther. My images will be posted Sunday night. 
        Besides the size of my images I have started to think again how I could use the layering and bring in that element of surprise to make my pieces more details and overall dynamic. In a previous drawing there was an embossing effect that occurred on the piece below it and this is something that turned into a happy mistake. The embossing effect is an almost invisible element in the piece that brings more detail to the piece but only form certain angles. 
        So for this week my plan is to first finalize the compositions that I am using and decide on the final size of each piece. Also I am going to play with the embossing effect and layering of photo litho print like I did previously to see what interesting interactions can occur and what surprises could be created. I need to just keep working and pushing my drawings.
