Human Dot

Text as texture critique

The person that did the critique of mine said she liked that I combined handwritten text and newsprint, as well as how I created my dots out of crumbled paper, as she felt it added to the composition. I agreed with her, as it was my intention, and also about how I picked the best texture, although I was torn a bit with another that was all newsprint for awhile.

I did Jamie's piece, and I really liked her choice of texture, because it worked well with her dots' placement. My only recommendation was to try integrating the 3-D texture into the dots, because I felt you lost the dots a bit being 2-D, and adding the texture of the newsprint into the dots would've helped to bring them out more as well as add more balance to the piece. Also: she had eight dots. :P
