Project Title
The ‘makers’ magazine speed
Section 1: Rationale (Approx 100 words)
In Photography, I had a very basic knowledge at the outset of the course. I didn’t know the features of a camera, different styles, techniques and genres of photography there are. Throughout the course my interest deepened. I realised how much work goes into taking one photo and the connotations and meanings one photo can have behind it. My passion for photography in my final project will help me focus and keep motivated. In terms of my personal difficulties such as time keeping, organisation skills and problem solving, I feel that these have been much better and in my final project I will need to improve these areas further. 110 words
Section 2: Project Concept (approx 200 words)
The concept of my project is going to be ‘Makers’. The target audience I would like to appeal to is young people - 16 +, who are aspiring to lead creative pathways. I would to educate as well as inspire them about the history of Waltham Forest makers. By educating this group they may feel inspired and want to choose being a maker as a career choice.  I  intend to produce an image or a series of images, to represent the makers of this community throughout history and  because we have become so much more multicultural ‘makers’ also reflect not only Waltham Forest but the different cultures that have become a community. I would like to incorporate the specific idea of a maker and what they have brought or been influenced by culturally. I would like to use the idea of a model or models held up by string and to look like they’re being ‘made’ by a maker.   
I will need to research the cultural history of Waltham Forest and also the types of product that could represent different cultures. This could be clothing, fabric, art work, pottery, food. After researching, I will need to focus on the types of fabric or materials I will need to order. 209 words
Section 3: Evaluation (approx 50 words)

I am planning to video myself, evaluating/reflecting for the duration of this project. Video recording is efficient -and I can be independent and not have to rely on a scribe. I am planning to record myself every day - if I did it once a week, I would forget some of the events/ issues during the week. 57 words

Evaluation for final project

Image
Evaluation Introduction My personal project is based around the underlying theme: Welcome to the Forest:Radicals, Makers, Fellowship. Out of the three categories that we could base our ideas on, I picked ‘Makers’. My concept for my project was to produce an image or a series of images as part of a double page spread feature in a magazine, to represent the makers of this community throughout history and because we have become so much more multicultural,  ‘Makers’ also reflected not only Waltham Forest but the different cultures that have become our community. I wanted to educate my target audience who are 16+ as well as inspire them about the history of Waltham Forest makers.   The effectiveness of my research (Contextual, audience and production) The contextual research helped me a lot when coming to the conclusion of my concept. This is because, I had to ensure I found out the background history of Waltham Forest and that this was through the perspective of fin...

Production :Content ( text) for double page spread

History has remembered the kings and warriors, because they destroyed; art has remembered the people, because they created. William Morris Art made by the people for the people, as a Joy to the maker and the user. William Morris The past is not dead, it is living in us, and will be alive in the future which we are now helping to make. William Morris https://www.azquotes.com/author/10432-William_Morris She loved the smell of wet dirt the way others might love the smell of roses.” ― Dana Hewitt, New City https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/pottery People say, "Why do you paint?" and I say, to make magic. Peter Blake https://quotes.yourdictionary.com/author/peter-blake/ Text Draft The whole reason that I wanted to do this spread is to highlight local artists of Waltham Forest. The reason why I have chosen this concept is because I feel like nowadays in the 21st Centu ry we don’t know much about makers and where it originated from and the inf...

production : Screenshoots of emails

Image
screenshots of emails All these screenshots show me asking the art department in the college for clay to use for my demo shoot and actual shoot. I also contacted my old school which is Brookfield House School and my old art teacher because they had a potters wheel that i can borrow for my photo shoot and unfortunately they did not have any for me to borrow. The last two screenshots show me emailing the teachers in the whole media and art department asking them if these media art teachers can promote my primary research survey for the students to fill in. The email i sent to Joe Horner who is the art departments leader says how i did not get any responses back, and ask if he can ensure that he emails all of them and inform them that i left the survey in their pigeon hole.
