Helpful Feedback

Being sincere without being cliche.

Sweet, but don't get too sweet. 

Target a larger audience; include people who have had not as positive relationships with their mothers. 

I'm not sure narrowing the focus to your mom gives you more scope or less. To be convinced. 

I want to see how you can take this personal relationship and execute your project in such a way that the viewer can get something personal out of it as well. 

Would it be interesting to do a graphic novel with a custom greeting card for each section the reflects what has happened?

Your project seems to lost some of its variety. All of the sayings in your sketchbook have a similar tone. Not sure making them all about your mother is helpful, but maybe, we'll see. The range of emotions conveyed in the sayings is narrow. Whats the connection between what is being said and how you visualize it? Do particular fonts, sizes, handwritten versus mechanically produced letters change with the different sayings?

Its unclear how you are going to visually and verbally portray the sacrifices and family role of the mother. This seems like something you should have explored by now. 

The personal approach seems to help focus. Everyone has a mother, but not everyone is in good terms with their mother. 

Maybe have a gimmick like "mother says"

Connect your experience with the audience.
