BLOG: End your blog with evidence of the following:

2. If you have made a photobook – write a book specification and describe in detail what your book is about in terms of narrative, concept and design.  Produce a mood-board of design ideas and consider the following:

• How you want your book to look and feel
• Paper and ink: use of different paper/ textures/ colour or B&W or both.
• Format, size and orientation: portraiture/ landscape/ square/ A5, A4, A3 / number of pages.
• Binding: soft/hard cover. Image wrap/dust jacket. Saddle stitch/swiss binding/ Japanese stab-binding/ leperello
• Cover: linen/ card. graphic/ printed image. embossed/ debossed. letterpress/ silkscreen/hot-stamping.
• Title: literal or poetic / relevant or intriguing.
• Narrative: what is the story/ subject-matter. How is it told?
• Structure and architecture: how design/ repeating motifs/ or specific features develops a concept or construct a narrative.
• Design and layout: image size on pages/ single page, double-spread/ images/ grid, fold- outs/ inserts.
• Editing and sequencing: selection of images/ juxtaposition of photographs/ editing process
• Images and text: are they linked? Introduction/ statement / use of captions (if any.)

3. Write an overall final evaluation (250-500 words) that explain in some detail the following:

• how successfully you fulfilled the EXAM brief and realised your intentions.
• links and inspiration between your final images and exam theme including artists references
• analysis of final prints/presentation in terms of composition, lighting, meaning, concept, symbolism etc.

4. Go through all your blog posts and make sure that you have completed them all to your best ability, e.g. good use of images/ illustrations, annotation of processes/ techniques used, analysis/ evaluation of images and experimentation

5. Present your final outcomes in window mounts or on foam board, label with name, candidate number, attach velcro and put in a BROWN/BEIGE/YELLOW folder.

To achieve a top marks we need to see a coherent progression of quality work from start to finish following these steps:

RESEARCH > ANALYSIS > PLANNING > RECORDING > DEVELOPING > EXPERIMENTING > PRESENTING > EVALUATING
