Image making and manipulation technology is evolving rapidly, playing a pivotal role in the design industry. Clients now expect creatives like me to possess a broad understanding of various digital software processes, the functionalities of the Adobe Creative Suite and the many traditional techniques which are used to take a digital product much further.
Within this project, I explored the theme of Duality and experimented with a range of technological processes and techniques, both digital and traditional, to produce a series of works to be exhibited.
For Informing Ideas I received a Distinction grade. This covers the whole of Assignment 1, where I explored the work of many different artists which use both digital and traditional methods to create their pieces.
During this process I also created a moodboard and a mind-map which covers many of my different interpretations of Duality and documented my thought process throughout.
For Problem Solving I received a Distinction grade. This covers the whole of Assignment 2, where I further developed on my ideas and decided to cover the topic of Man-Made vs Mother Nature, through creating a final moodboard.
During this assignment I also covered many different techniques in digital and traditional techniques to build knowledge for assignment 3. Finally, I created some initial sketches to base my final images off and sourced the assets I was planning on using.
For Technical Skills I received a Merit grade. This covers 1/3 of Assignment 3, where I use the techniques learnt in assignment 2 and create my final 3 images, with the processes listed.
I go over the process of creating each image individually basing it off my sketches and techniques used in assignment 2 to stay true to the planning process.
For Professional Skills I received a Distinction grade. This covers another 1/3 of Assignment 3, where I cover all the professional practices to protect me and my files from delays or loss.
I covered how my files are organised and kept in an orderly fashion so they aren't lost. I also cover which specific assets/ files I will use in the production, which hardware and software I was going to use in the production and finally, my contingecy plans in place incase I can't stick to the original plan.
For Communication I received a Merit grade. This covers the final 1/3 of Assignment 3, this is covering how sucessful my communication was as a whole throughout this whole assignment as well as how I promote my final images.
I decided to promote my final images covering this topic through a digital exhibition website as I believe it would be able to reach a wider and more diverse audience over an "in-person" exhibition. I also covered a critial evaluation and gathered feedback on my final images and exhibition.
