Development time....

At this stage you should have 5 completed workshops with supporting artists and their work.........its time to start developing an outcome that connects to your word and interpretation of it...its designing time.

6. Now is the time to take your work and develop it with context. An image can speck a thousand words, but for it to be fully effective it has to engage with wider audience.

 

You are asked to translate your imagery onto

well composed Outcome. This could be one of many things, A Magazine, Cover LookBook, Poster etc.

Generate  2 different versions of your final piece, each time refining and reviewing, adding additional elements to improve the overall outcome

You are asked to refine your idea by developing your own peronal responce to the starting point. By experiementing in-depth you will refine your idea with an outcome in mind (A02 Experimentation & A04 Outcome).
Think carefully about both of these sections and how do you plan to show your progression responding to the starting point. Your idea for your final piece must be fully developed and refined to ensure the best mark is given.

DEVELOPMENT & REFINE

YOUR OUTCOME

Refine your final piece further by taking a series of  30 digital photographs exploring your starting point further. Meet up with friends and use them as your models. Take photographs in different locations - Woods, Beach etc.,  always take a camera with you where ever you go....

 

Take 30 photographs of textured surfaces to use as layers in your future exam Photoshop work. See examples Below....aim for 10 different surfaces (capture 4 images for each surface). Present in your physical or digital sketchbook.
