Week 7 - #1

This week I went to class on Monday and had feedback on my project from a professor. I asked what size our degree show panels would be and was shocked to find out how limited the space was. I held up my eight manuscript pages to the panel during class and I knew instantly that I was going to have to make compromises on the dimensions of each project. Luckily, the manuscript was the only piece of the exhibit that was solidified in its dimensions. With the professor’s input I decided that I would choose only half of the manuscript pages to display. I felt like this was okay because I wanted the manuscript pages to be purely visual and not really meant to be read word for word, so I didn’t mind curating which pages to use and feel bad about leaving others out.

I also felt that this was an okay decision because I knew I was going to print a small, modern, easy to read publication of the same Thomas Rhymer and the Fairy Queen story that is meant to be read in order to contextualize the entire exhibit.
