Day 1 of the new project for some of the classes

I have been running a brief for some classes over the last few days with more being covered tomorrow and thursday.

Its been interesting to see some of the early thoght processes goign on by the 2 Grade 8 classes who instantly started thinking outside of the box and working on how they could be creative within the limits of the project.

Grade 8 are still only in the first period of their project where as grade 6 classes doing a similar but slightly more limited project are slightly further ahead.

I chose at random one students work from grade 6 and I intend to choose one from grade 8 and show regular updates of what they are doing, and how their work is being approached.

The image below is the front cover (On the left) and a client profile (on the right)
The remit for the front cover was that it had to look nice, have their name and class on it and have some sort of design that would fit with their mothers interests leading up to Mothers Day. The remit for the Client profile was to think about the things that their mother liked and disliked and by covering all areas possible they should then be able to create a Mood Board to display the colours and images that will assist them in their design stage.











The front cover is very good the student has reasonably good artistic skills and considered the theme and applied it with an interesting border theme that is not straight (Which most pupils seem to stick too) Out of a possible grading of 1 to 7 I would give the front cover a top grade of 7. Her Client Profile (A synopsis of everything their client, in this case their mother, likes and dislikes)is drawn creatively but is lacking detail. If she had added more information it would make the next task the mood board easier, due to the lack of detail I have graded this page at a 6. This is still an excellent start and I will be interested to see where she takes her design over the next week.

Finally I seem to have got over my slight bug as I feel much better tonight and have had a very quiet relaxing evening. I have been waiting for some information from Amman with regard to inventories and class layouts which I check for each morning (There is currently a 7 hour time difference) sadly at the moment I haven't had the reply I am waiting for .. quite frustrating.
