Thesis Critique #1

So I recently went through the first stage of group critiques for my thesis project. The review of our thesis this time around was mostly to discuss the overall concept of our piece rather than talking about our current progress and technique. I felt a little alienated from the group, due to the fact that I was amongst fine artists, photographers, and etc. This feeling was fortunately rather shortlived, and now I'm rather grateful for the diversity of the critique group. I got to hear what other people had to say about my concept of time as a tangible existence in a point of view other than a designer's. The suggestions and reactions to my thesis were simpler and were on more of an artistic level; not saying that design isn't artistic, but it relies much more heavily on function of an idea rather than just having an idea for the sake of just having one. In a nutshell it just made me feel more relaxed to be in a group of critics that aren't designers.
