Example of analysis.

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

Example of discussing the brief. 
The set brief was to create a book cover for the Steinbeck novel 'Of Mice and Men'. The book was discussed and a proposition was drawn up. The main themes of the book include dreams and loneliness. The role of the design will be to communicate and hint at the theme and provide an enigma to stimulate the curiosity of the audience. The client has stipulated the size of the template.

Unit 2 Final Draft

Objective

To refine the design process once more.

To gain marks for assessment objective 2.

Task

Draw a pencil (or digital) design that is as close to what your final design will look like. 
Work at the same size as the final artefact.

Remember, this is the whole design, not just the front. e.g. if you and making a book cover, include the spine and back.
Yes, it needs to be relatively detailed.
If you wish to complete the final piece before youre exam as a trial, feel free. Your exam will then be a breeze!

Presentation

Unit 2 Colour Choices

Objective

In order for you to fully explore the combinations of colours that you could potentially use in your design, you must trial a draft in various colour schemes.

Task

Take a draft and colour it using colour scheme ideas. This could include:
Monochromatic, complementary, analogous and triadic. There are many more examples - high saturation, low saturation with spot colour. It's up to you.
*Please ensure that the colour choice you make for your final pieces is included in the examples that you create.

Presentation

Post to your blog with a short explanation of what and why you have done this. You should also point out the most successful version and explain why.

Checklist for assessment

Can we tell straight away that you have consciously used colour?

Deadline

Monday 11 April

Below is Michael's A* example.

Unit 2 Analysis

Copy of an existing work.

Objective

This task will allow you to investigate and practice how a designer has worked.

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

Task

• Look on your pinboards or in one of my books for a style of working that would be suitable for your current project.

• 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 material 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.
