Study Task 5: Development

10 Slide Presentation
For this study task I need to create a 10 slide presentation to present to my peers after the Christmas break. I need to plan how best to use each slide to its fullest potential to properly communicate my project and the research I have carried out so much. I need to consider including:

The quote itself - a good starting point for Slide 1!
Highlighting key words and the research I did on their definitions
• Who the author of the quote is and what his position is in the illustrative landscape to make such sweeping statements
• The context of the quote, which includes the work he is criticising (David Shrigley's Fight the Nothingness and the Pick Me Up graphic arts festival)
• The texts I have read to triangulate my quote
• The images I will be using in my essay to analyse
• The work I have started in my visual journal

Visual Journal
I had originally put off any start to my visual journal as I was still very unclear as to what was required, but during my final CoP session before the Christmas break I had a quick chat with my tutors to clear up any misunderstanding I had. I'd noticed peers have started doing some rather detailed illustrations - much to my shock! - but didn't even know how to get to that point in my own work as my quote is rather vague. I started with the very basics; exploring line, texture, shape, colour and collage and how those elements could relate to my quote through design doing, design thinking, comment and content.

Reflection
I'm glad to have made a start in my journal as it's something I have wanted to do for a while but was unsure of... any start has to be better than no start! I was very inspired by the research presentation from Fred who mentioned that just starting anywhere, no matter how simple or vague, can lead to new information and new ideas and seeing where it can take you. The process of the journey is what is important, not necessarily the end result. Inspiration is all around and research will help to uncover that!
