Component 1 Analysis




Over the next few weeks, you will be completing an analysis of relevant artefacts. You will be given certain slides to complete each hwk session and we will learn / revise the relevant elements each lesson.

Objective
To increase your understanding of the processes and techniques designers employ when creating artefacts. 

Task
Choose artefacts that are similar to the one that you are designing.
Add slides to your existing presentation. Title slide should state that it is Analysis.
Using the questions on the slides above you will be analysing the layout, colour, typography etc. 

I have also included a wealth of key terms for you to use. They are located at the bottom of the post or you can print them off HERE.

Presentation
Google presentation

Checklist for assessment
All points must be covered in detail. For those looking for A/B grades, there will also be some inclusion of further, self-initiated investigation.

Deadlines
19 June - Similar artefacts
26 June - Content (Poetic and Pragmatic)
03 July - Typography 1
14 Sept- Typography 2
21 Sept - Layout, Hierarchy, and Grids
28 Sept - Colour 
05 Oct - Rendering and process

Note that I will be collecting in your sketchbooks and mark sheets (in plastic wallets) at the end of the lesson on October 5th. Please ensure that you have gone back over the feedback and missing marks to improve your work.

Students that fail to hand in or are missing work will face the relevant school sanctions that are in place for homework.

These presentations are examples of the sort of detail needed for your analysis. The layout is also pretty good.

Emulation



Objective
To allow you to look closely at work that you like and that is relevant to your process.
To push your process and technique into new areas.

Task
Take a refined draft or one of you own scamps and 'work it up' into a design using the same technique that you have just learned from your copy. 
Use the same process that you have just been using. This means if you drew out a rough in pencil first, then you do the same.
