One for my A2 Art&Design Coursework.
For this project I have to include a dissertation-like written essay for my A&D coursework, Given the the theme 'Beginnings' I thought up the project topic of 'Grow.' - looking at the acorn to oak tree concept and how something so small and insignificant can eventually grow to produce a massive body, much more complex than its original form. Im really going to stay away from the digital end for my final peice for the sake of my university application as I think I have that down so ill be working in more traditional media to hopefully bring out some more depth in my portfolio's media spectrum.
So for the photography end of this project (no photog class this year unfortunately :( ) ill be looking at nuts, seeds, beans, roots, shoots/saplings, trees and other fully grown plants. Quite a nice subject type as I do like my still life so it will be interesting to see if I can still draw after the summer break :)
Strobist:
one black studio case/portfolio case as a background
One plant (a thyme shoot I think it was) clamped by the horseshoe mount of my unbrella stand about 2 feet infront of background
natural light from window (90 degrees camera left)
I think I worked this a little too much, roots are very fine so getting the contrast right was tricky.
Improving the community – not coursework – was the message to come out of a workshop at the University of Salford featuring local school children and the creative thinking charity, the De Bono Foundation as part of the Smart City Futures project.

Guess what is sort of boring? Digital library interoperability! DOI! OAI-PMH! WSDL! Listen, if I wanted a profession full of crazy acronyms ... oh ... wait ... crap.
Salad and an espresso tastes better when you're reading David Foster Wallace.
work in progress. Top shows the design created by manipulating photos and vectors and drawing in photoshop, bottom is the resulting painting.
For one of my AS Level projects, the title was "Light Graffiti" and I decided to just base this project on the technique alone and put more effort into the final presentation. This was taken on a 15" exposure and I used three LED coloured keyring lights.
It has not been retouched in any way and for my final presentation, I am going to print this out A3 size and then split the image into quite a few separated pieces, mount them on foam board and then progressively raise them further up as they go towards the middle to create a 3D styled piece.
This is a section from my A2 Textiles Coursework book displaying an evaluation piece from a scarf i made and a documentation from my visit to the Brussels Lace and Costume Museum, which I found inspirational in response to my chosen theme of Vintage: 1910-1930s evening wear.
Created this for my techniques section of my City & Guilds Level 1 Sugarcraft Course. Thought it looked quite effective and like a patchwork quilt!
These pages from my Textiles A2 Coursework book display experimentation of techniques, building up to an outcome. I used silk painting, stenciling and polystyrene printing.
Anti-Smoking project. Poster concept to be distributed around colleges in Scotland (if the brief were real!).
For one of my AS Level projects, the title was "Image and Text" where we had to produce two final pieces, one of which was a commercial advert and one which raised an issue of our choice.
This was one of the images, which I used to raise awareness for the issue that is Domestic Abuse. This is intended to literally represent the violence taken place commonly in these types of relationships, and show the pain and despair the people feel when they're put through this.
For the final presentation, this image will be presented A4 size next to the other two supporting images, along with some text presented at the bottom.

A video I have created to contribute to my fine art coursework - may not be the best quality or editing but it's my first movie and took me a while! this isn't the whole video as I had a limit a 90 seconds on flicker
Here's another piece from my A Level Photography coursework. This was inspired by René Magritte's 1937 painting, entitled La reproduction interdite (Not to Be Reproduced).
The process involved in creating this piece was fairly simple. The first step was to take a picture of the model, a fellow student, looking into the mirror. The second step was to take a picture of the model facing the wall and then the final step involved some basic editing work in Photoshop with multiple layers. The original reflection in the mirror was masked with the picture of the model facing the wall and then some final tweaks were made to get it to look just as I wanted it to.
Overall, a very basic technique that turned out to be quite effective.
Brief: design a logo for an Art & Design library.
This shows the development of my final owl design for the logo which I created from scratch in Illustrator. I amalgamated aspects of the European Owl and the Tawny Owl to create the owl's look. The pencil that the owl is perched on is to represent the art and design specialisation of the library.
Series for my art coursework, focused on mental and physical illnesses. I have my exam Monday and Tuesday!
For my project 'Small World' I decided to use a little box man figure. Here's one of my final shots.
Brief: design a leaflet to promote a college Art & Design department.
This is one of my preliminary sketches to work out the final design of the leaflet. The idea behind it is taken from the game, Misfits where there are different heads, bodies and legs used to make up a character. I used the three sections to represent different aspects of Art and Design: photography, fine art and fashion/textiles. I drew the images freehand using photos as references.
Coloured pencils on cartridge paper and scanned in.
For one of my projects in my AS Level Photography I had to explore Self Image and I chose to base mine on the insecurities relating to mainly body image but also showing the way particularly females feel about how they must look due to the 'media perfection models'.
This image links on from the previous image in that the media has fooled us as a generation that in order to reach this perfected model look, we must do certain things and due to the strong manipulative power the media as a whole has over the general public, they can feel like a command. I wanted to portray literally the way young girls minds work, I wanted to represent the metaphor in a literal way as in they feel that strongly that they "MUST NOT EAT" that they want to block their mouth from any temptation in order to satisfy this media image.
In my final presentation, this along with the first image have both been printed out A5 size and are positioned next to the second image which has been printed out A4 size so these shots are really supporting the theme that I intended from the piece.
