Before you attempt these pages you must read articles about your subject to gain an understanding. You should be able to discuss the wider context of your page. I.E. if your page is about Photomontage, you should be able to discuss the main practitioners, key pieces, contemporary practitioners, historical elements and maybe attempt an example or two.
Please, please use your Dictionary of Graphic Design and Designers and Hollis' History of Graphic Design. They are perfect for this task.
The pages in the presentation above are great for the following reasons:
- they relate to the first project as the student came across the elements during case studies and analysis
- Beth discusses Beatrice Alemagna's work process rather than just historical events
- there is a mixture of drawn, printed examples and written note taking
- layout is busy and shows a 'working out' thought process
- the consecutive pages have a flow to them. e.g Beth's Beatrice Alemagna page discusses mixed media. She then goes on to do a page on mixed media and photomontage. This could then lead in many directions - Dadaism, album cover design, Hockney joiners etc.
