Time table

Please note the date and name change for the presentations of your Case Studies. The dates are the time table page above.

Peer Case Study Feedback

• Check your blogs after you have posted. Some times images or script doesn't publish properly.
• Use spell check and check your grammar.
• Make rough draughts, rewrite them. Rewrite the rewrite. Repeat this until your writing flows.
• Ask a peer to go over your writing and give you feedback. Listen to their feedback and rewrite.
• Follow the guidelines of the brief.
• Illustrate the points you are making by referring to images of actual pieces. This is the most important aspect of your writing. Describe and analyse pieces in-depth. You do this by describing techniques, use of materials, aesthetic principles and elements; how the designer has employed these to express their approach and philosophy. 
• Point out evidence of their inspiration and references.

The catalogue needs to be done in photo shop and saved as pdf. I will update you on this as printers etc. are still to be established.

Consider:

Your catalogue is to bring your entire year together. It is also a platform to showcase you as a designer.

This can be a powerful tool for marketing, sharing your work and developing your brand. 

In assessing your catalogue, your moderators will look at the following:

• Clarity (is there a logical 'clear story' through the pages?)
• Involvement (what is the level of enthusiasm?)
• Aesthetic (what is the level of personal expression/signature?)
• Finish (level of professionalism)
