Homework for Monday, 4th February

Find out as many different ways as possible of joining two pieces of card together... they can range from the commonplace, every day methods to the downright unusual! I shall be explaining more during the lesson on Wednesday the 30th of January. Methods might include elastic bands and nuts and bolts, even, as well as the more ordinary glue and tape.

Write or print out on either A3 or A4. You must have at least 4 illustrations to clarify some of the techniques, though. This homework will be as much about presentation as content, and the marks will reflect that.

for Monday 21st January

Please make sure the pieces of homework you have done are up to date. I am about to start the next raft of marking and any short-comings will be thrown into sharp relief. One of two people have been a little relaxed it seems and not been as thorough as they should be.

for Monday, January 14th

Do a mood board for your idea for a leaflet display stand. Have ideas for the colour schemes... for example, if you are going to do blue and orange, have pictures of a tangerine, carrot, a face with a tan, a sunset, etc etc. if looking at blue (for example,) you could have sea, berries, textiles which are predominantly blue, etc.
Also, have ideas for the 'mood' (goodness, it is a mood board after all...!) or atmosphere. If you are doing a leaflet for a game about zombies in a desolate city, you may find My Little Pony doesn't quite have the right atmosphere, but you might find that Marilyn Manson does, for example. The more stuff (relevant material, that is), the better the grade.
