5. Equality in maintenance & preparation of space
We have to book space to insure that our work will be displayed for EVERYONE to see

6. How to construct presentation & materials for exhibition
We can construct presentation by having comment books. Mine in particular may be displayed in different sizes

7. Allocation of space
We have to decide how big our work will be

Photography - Viewpoints

Single viewpoint of a chair

Multiple viewpoints

David Crook inspired

My own style - cloning

The plan for this was to get photos of different viewpoints including a single viewpoint, multiple viewpoints, David Crook inspired and our own style.

For this we had to take loads of pictures and put them into a piece inspired by viewpoints. Our first one was a single viewpoint of a chair, where we'd stand still and just move the camera around. We had to specifically do a chair to compare with other's work at the end, I think this is my favourite one because it was the one that came out best in my opinion. After that we had to do one of multiple viewpoints where we'd take pics of things from different angles. The next one was actually a David Crook inspired where we'd only take about 3 pics then cut them into strips where each pic would look slightly different. Our last one was a style of our choice so I did cloning, where my subject was cloned a number of times in the pic. I think I did well in this because I got good feedback for each pic, to improve I would have to practise more with the multiple viewpoints one because I found it slightly tricky, for the David Crook one I would choose a better subject and for the cloning one I would have to use the 'levitation technique' again.

Final Project - Form & Function and Information Graphics

The form of the poster is that it's going to be A3 or A4. The function of the poster is to have information for the gig, like the headlining band, the support bands, date, venue and ticket price.

What are Infographics?

Infographics are visual representations of data and knowledge aimed to show information quickly and as simple as possible. They can be used for anything but are mostly used for things like maps, architecture, statistics.

Photography - Beate Gutschow Inspired

Beate Gutschow is a German contemporary artist who is known for her landscape photography. Her work is known to be spaceous and include buildings, as well as be done in black & white. Her work looks really depressing because theres no people or natural objects around just dull buildings and space, it reminds me of a dystopia, the sort of place A Clockwork Orange would be set.

The plan for this is to take photos inspired by Beate Gutschow, where we have to take photos in depressing places. Equipment includes a Nikon DX, where I'll take the pics in black & white.

For this we had to take pics of depressing places in the style of Beate Gutschow in black & white, we were only limited to taking pics around college, so finding depressing places would be a bit of a challenge (whereas a block of flats would be ideal for this).

Final Project - Christie Goodwin

"If music is the soundtrack of your life then it is certain that at some point you have come across a picture of mine". Christie Goodwin has been photographing since 1976. She originally started in fashion photography but moved on to music photography. Christie mainly does official tour and album photography. Her work has been exhibited and she has also won awards.

My opinion of her work is that it's great because it's vibrant and full of energy, also I like the fact that she takes B&W as well as colour shots. Her work is good because she captures the atmosphere of the moment and it makes you feel like you're there. To achieve these shots she uses a Canon with available light.

Final Project - Todd Owyoung

                       

Todd Owyoung is a freelance photographer who does live music photography, tour photography and band portraits. His work has appeared in Rolling Stone, the New York Times, Entertainment Weekly and more.

My opinion of his work is that it's impressive because his pictures look exciting. It's good because his pics capture atmosphere, like for example the musicians rockin' out and the crowd enjoying themselves. Also another reason why his work is good is because the subject is shown as important and there's not usually much else in the pics besides some stage lights sometimes. He does his work with a Nikon and prefers to use available light to capture the look better.
