      This was my first Third Thursday critique session, so I can't compare to past ones, but I learned SO much from this session! The information given in this session was as helpful as the classes (which are incredible), so I'm really looking forward to the next one (and I'll be participating!).

      I do agree with @gimmehummus though - I'd love to see the submissions in a site gallery, rather than in the scrolling bar at the top. Unfortunately I have to hide that bar every time I come to the forums because it gets me really dizzy, so I don't get to see the submissions unless people post them in a post on the forum.

      Thank you for the awesome information, guys!!

        @gimmehummus We've been talking about something like this - One of our ideas is to have an uploader on our site that puts all submissions into a gallery like you mentioned. Then during the critique we will invite everyone to check all of them out... We'll get better over time šŸ™‚

          @Will-Terry I am willing to help with the slide show if you want. I am a web designer by day. We could work something out where I get access to all the images and I can create a slide show. I know you guys ask for all images to be submitted no larger then 1500x1500. If Aaron wants to discuss some options I am open to help. I could potential host the slide on my server and then share the link for everyone to view all the submissions. Just a thought, its the least I can do for all you do for us.

            Lee, I am not ready to submit illustrations, but want to participate in the 3rd Thursdays (well, watch and listen). How can I do that? How do I sign up for what class and where do I go at what time... and I assume on 3rd Thursday of the month. šŸ™‚ I'm a monthly subscriber. Thanks.

                Hi Thrace! Thanks for the info. Hey, I noticed people saying they watched the video. It looks like they watched it on YouTube. Can you, or can anyone, tell me where to find the 3rd Thursday critique videos on YouTube? Thanks šŸ™‚

                      Thrace, Thanks. I did not realized there is a SCHOOL of VS on FB. I had joined the group of SOCIETY OF VS on FB. The School page had the info on 3rd Thursdays and the video link. I've joined both now.

                        Congratulations to those chosen for critique and props to the tops. Thanks to the SVS team for taking time to instruct and encourage everyone. The new format seems to be well liked and was packed with great information.

                        As for suggestions for the feedback naming convention, perhaps we could consider doing "plus/delta" aka +/āˆ†. The + represents what we liked and the āˆ† represents what we'd like to change (i.e. might do differently, or possibley stop doing all together). After each session we could post to a forum topic such as "+/āˆ† Jan2016 3rd Thurs.", for example, which would be listed under the main 3rd Thursday tab. Maybe it would help standardize the forum and keep all the notes together for each month. It's a concept we used at a former workplace.

                        +=I really liked the micro class Lee gave on color.
                        āˆ†=I wish the time wouldn't be so late as I'm on the US east coast; it's hard for this old bird to stay up passed 10 PM. šŸ˜›

                          @Beatriz-"Bett" I am confused myself now. It seems to be School on Facebook but Society on website.

                              @Thrace yes - we need to change that - we switched to "society" when we heard that certain states will go after you if you call yourself a "school" without having gone through the accreditation process i.e. pay extortion money... yikes. We decided to skip the drama and go with society...

                                I appreciated the changes to the Live Third Thursday session. I have felt for a while that the choices of entries critiqued have been based more on which ones included common mistakes that could help more people as opposed to a rating of which ones are best. I may be wrong, but I thought it was already basically done that way. Except for the 3 winning submissions of course.

                                I really appreciated that we touched on the topic of how the critiques can be hard to watch sometimes when one has worked hard on their submission and it doesn't get mentioned. Just having that fact acknowledged was nice.

                                It has been great watching the Third Thursday Contest develop and change since it first started. I think all the changes have been great.
                                All the lessons from this one were helpful as usual. Will, Jake and Lee you guys are doing a great job!
                                @Will-Terry you are awesome! @Jake-Parker, you make us want to cry when you do layouts in seconds like that comic one! and @Lee-White you blew my mind with that color demo!
