Copy

Objective

This task will allow you to investigate and practice how an illustrator / artist / photographer / designer has worked.

You will be expected to use the same (or very near) process and materials as the illustrator you have chosen.

Task

• If possible, complete this task in conjunction with a case study

• Consider and research how the designer has worked. You will normally be able to work it out from just looking at the work. Discuss with your tutor the process and materials needed.

• Write a short description of what will be required and in what order.

• Then set to work - remember to take a few work-in-progress shots.
Your final piece should form part of your unit 1 Google Slides presentation.
* Your first job will probably be to sketch out the design - ask your tutor if you need A3 paper
* If you are looking at a photographer, you could use some images from the web, but more marks are available if you take your own.

Go for obvious and the not so obvious to give you something to talk about when analysing their suitability.

Then place your type choices on a draft of your piece and evaluate them in place.  Try maybe six?

Checklist for assessment Lots of interesting and relevant type choices.

Informed annotation.
