@Zweiland
I know the walkways in front of existing pavilions are off limits, but...is the lagoon and lagoon ring off limits?
It's an either or for me, so I'm very cool if the answer is no (though I'd like it to be yes).
I sent you a PM with details.
@Zweiland clarified earlier that we could use a limited portion of the waterfront DIRECTLY IN FRONT of the new pavilion spaces, so I know that's already fair game...Thats a very interesting question!
I assumed we can work with a minimal amount the lagoon since other pavilions of the showcase put... stuff in it.
Ooooh, today's posting day, right?!
He did not postWait...Did @englanddg post his submission?
Or am I a confused idiot missing something?
Since @englanddg will not be posting (he didn't say why), @MonorailRed wins by default.
Congratulations Monorailred - you did an awesome job!
Since @englanddg
@marni1971, even though you don't have to determine a winner, would you still like to critique MonorailRed's submission?
Point me the wayOn another note, that'd be awesome if @marni1971 could!
My week has been similar. Now you know why I didn't compete.Congrats @MonorailRed on a well deserved win! I would love to have given you at least a touch of competition, but it wasn't going to happen, no matter how much I willed it to be.
So, moving on...I owe everyone some semblance of an explanation as to why I dropped the ball.
I appreciate everyone's concern, and I'll address that first with, yes, all is fine.
It can, largely, be summed up with two words. Time Management. And, we've all been there.
This past week I have come home for the holidays (my parents) and I'm staying two weeks. Travel and packing ate up quite a bit of my time before leaving, and when I got here I ended up not being able to set up my primary computer until Saturday, and had more on my plate (family business, which I will not bore you with here) than I had anticipated.
Both of these tossed rather large monkey wrenches in my plan to take most of Xmas evening and all of Sat and peeling off hours on end to actually, youknow...do the work. Finding other time was, well, just difficult.
In the end, the final due date just snuck up on me, and while I had some content created, I really had nothing to present. Not even something I could toss together for even a halfway coherent final presentation. You all know how I hate seeing others "miss the net", if you will, because I enjoy reading even incomplete presentations as the ideas are just as fun. If I'd had anything that was even remotely coherent, I would have posted...but I didn't.
That being said, those are contributing factors, but Red was able to work around them for herself, why couldn't I?
Like I said, Time Management!
The first week I didn't have those influences or issues complications things, but instead of being smart about it, I focused on outlining and brainstorming, without taking into consideration that I may have other complications the following week.
So, lesson learned, had I broken the project down into meaningful chunks the first week (say, focusing on one pavilion a day) so that all that was left the final week was plussing, some minor art creation, etc...) I would have been fine.
But, like a dummy, I didn't do that! <derpy derp!>
It's a double bitter pill to swallow as this is EXACTLY what got me into trouble during the SA final as well...so, hopefully this jams it into my thick skull!
Sometime next week, when I get stable with my computer situation and other things, I'll post my final in the thread (if @Zweiland is ok with that), just so you all can see where my head was at.
Obviously, the first requirement for these comps is the due date, and regardless of whatever I have (or will) put together, @MonorailRed certainly deserves the crown!
I really have no one to blame but myself, and if I had more than a shotty outline and a less than 1/4 done map, I still would have made a mad dash to the finish line...except...I lost my Sunday night as well to family business!My week has been similar. Now you know why I didn't compete.
Of course you can post your final submission in the main thread! I'd love to see it.
And congrats Red! (I will formally congratulate you when Marni is done with his critique!)
