Task 1

BEGIN BOARD 1 LAYOUT - DRAFT

Create a New Adobe Illustrator document (Choose custom, Width 610 mm, Height 820mm, 300 DPI) and begin to explore sequencing possibilities, use the selections you made for 3.2, images you aren’t 100% confident about but think may have potential and images that you just like for some reason.

It is highly unlikely you will have enough images at this stage to fill the whole board. This is to be expected. It is also okay to have gaps in layout or work that needs improving.

L3 pho board 1 Stella Henderson TGS 2018

THIS IS ONLY THE FIRST DRAFT!

Ask yourself :

• Do the images I have chosen CLEARLY introduce my idea/theme?

• If someone else was looking at my board would they understand what I am exploring? Show your work to someone else and get there viewpoint…Do they get what you are trying to communicate?

• Are my compositional concerns clearly evident?

• Are my technical concerns clearly evident?

• Does each image/ sequence serve a purpose being on the board? Or are some images repetitive or confusing to the overall reading of the board.

You need to be ruthless at this stage, only keeping the ideas/images that best fit your theme.

Make sure your adobe documents are always 300dpi and all images you drag onto your documents are also 300dpi. This can be found under Image – Image size in photoshop
