to be handed in after October half term

Please make sure that things in your folder are up to date. Is it all...

Annotated?
Looking punchy and vibrant?
Free of nasty big white spaces?
Oh... and I can't remember... I'm not sure, but did I possibly mention ANNOTATED?!?

The new work to be completed:
Don't forget those developments of your chosen initial idea. Let's see different ways of fastening the card (slots, velcro pads, etc) explored, along with variations of colour schemes, different clock number types (if you are using numbers; you might just be using markers for the 3,6,9,12) etc, etc. Refer to the pictures of your white models uploaded on photobucket.com in the lordbills folder which you will find if you click here.

Developments are a bit like trying out different trim, interiors, door fastenings, colour schemes etc on a new model of car. To quote the marking sheets in your folder...



Research the materials that you could use for your product and present these on your paper. Find out if there are any pre-manufactured components that you could use in your product, for example joggle eyes, velcro pads and different types of card and paper.



Please take your card clocks home, disassemble them and put the parts opened out on paper. They are in a large card box on a shelf in C10.

It would be great if you managed to download the picture of your clock model, print them off and put them on an A3 sheet (um, possibly annotated as well...) but not essential; you can do that at school.

All the best, and perhaps relax a little now and then during the week off... it would be so easy to get to the time we come back and suddenly realise you had spent ALL the time working on your Graphics folder...
