VISUAL (GENERATOR) RHETORIC Hand-in FRIDAY + Presentation Skills Notes Posted by: matt

ALL SECOND YEARS: Final submission is (drop-in work): 12.00pm to 1.00pm: FRIDAY 12TH MARCH: Room 215.

As per our seminar sessions, submission should include works produced and created for:

NOTE: TASK WORK IS D&AD BRIEF WORK. THE TWO ARE INTERCONNECTED. TASKS ARE COMPONENTS OF A PROCESS LED APPROACH TO A BRIEF. THEREFORE, BY DEFAULT TASK WORK IS LINKED AND ALIGNED TO THE REQUIREMENTS SET OUT IN THE D&AD BRIEF. STUDENTS WHO HAVE ENGAGED WELL WITH TASK WORK WILL BY DEFAULT HAVE MORE DEVELOPED TASK COMPONENTS THAT HAVE BEEN EXTENDED MUCH FURTHER INTO MORE RESOLVED AND REFINED (FINAL) PIECES. SO FOR THE FINAL TIME THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED:

1. 6 Compulsory Task (Failure to submit multiple permutations to each of the compulsory tasks will reflect negatively on your final marks)

2. A selection of multiple responses to all other tasks. WHICH WILL INCLUDE MORE DEVELOPED PIECES THAT CAN BE UNDERSTOOD AS WELL FORMED EXAMPLES THAT ADDRESS THE D&AD BRIEF BY DEFAULT – PROVIDING YOU HAVE TAKEN A PROGRESSIVE APPROACH WHICH MEANS YOU HAVE TRANSFORMED, REFINED AND DEVELOPED YOUR TASK WORK THROUGH CONCEPTUAL AND VISUAL PERMUTATIONS (AS THE ORIGINAL BRIEF OUTLINES).

All work must be labelled clearly with your name and task work should be collated in folders labelled with the appropriate task title ie. TASK 1, TASK 2, etc. 3D work should be labelled, and blog addresses easily visible.

For all the non-attendees in yesterdays session attached in a jpeg with notes regarding improving presentation. The following bullet points are the important things consider:

• Good presentation GAINS POSITIVE ATTENTION: BOND not CLOWN when considering quality. Make your ideas look good so they live longer!

• Presentation of ideas often exists above and beyond your ideas so you should probably leave a day at the end of a module assigned just for this;

• FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION: so always try to pick an APPROPRIATE format for the media/idea that you are presenting. So do you need boards? Storyboards? Booklets? Slideshows? Projections? Wall mounted components? DVD presentation? Flash sequence? Just a blog? Collection of prototypes? Explanatory film? PDF? NB. Boards should be presented photo-mounted to Daler Rowney board (A3 or A2) – NO BLOOD STAIN FINGER PRINTS, NO DOG EARS, TRIMMED, NO BUBBLES, NAMED AND LABELLED APPROPRIATELY;

• DITCH EXTRANEOUS ACCOUTREMENTS: so when handing in work get rid of things that are nothing to do with your work. So some of the things we don’t need to see are: Pullingers bags; Tipex Names in bad handwriting; masking taped name labels; masking tape CD holders; Windsor Newton sticky labels; foam board; fur covered sketchbooks (without very good reason!);

• WORK BOOKS and BLOGS: neatly compiled, labelled appropriately. NEITHER SHOULD INCLUDE REWRITTEN MODULE HANDBOOKS OR BRIEFS TO PAD THEM OUT (WE WROTE THE BRIEF WE NEED IT AS PART OF YOUR SUBMISSION). ON THE BLOGS WHEN POSTING OTHER PEOPLES WORK AS REFERENCE PLEASE LABEL THAT WORK CLEARLY AS REFERENCE MATERIAL eg: REF.: FALLON ADVERT FOR SONY.

• In the case of this module all work on blogs should be labelled with the task title as mentioned.

Hollie in the shop says….

I’ll be taking orders and payments up until Friday 12/3/10 at 3PM! I’m sure this will be the last chance to get a screen so any orders after this time won’t be accepted!

The screens from the previous order are now in, and the new ones should be in by Tuesday/Wednesday next week.

The price is £29.30 each.

Screens in shop now! Posted by: Rose

If you ordered a screen in the shop then you can pick them up now.

It’s only open until 1pm today but they’re open from 10-1 and then 2-4 tomorrow and next week.

If you missed out on ordering one then there will be another chance to order one when the next Screen Printing Inductions start in a few weeks.

NEWS FROM THE SHOP (Those who have ordered a screen) Posted by: Rose

The following is a message from Hollie in the shop for all of you who have already ordered a screen (4pm tomorrow is the deadline!)

I’ve checked with the supplier, screenstretch on the price, and with VAT and delivery costs they work out to £29.30 each.

The students who have ordered so far have paid £26.00 each, so they will have to pay a further £3.30 on collection of their screen. If you could give them a heads up I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks

Hollie
