LEAFLET RESEARCH TO DO

·         Over this period you will also research 3 contemporary, well designed leaflets.  Photograph or stick in, or print off examples of creative leaflets you can find.  Look in the student union, music shops, fashion shops, etc.  Annotate and answer the following:

  • How does information flow from one panel to the next?
  • How is colour, text and image unified?  Comment on the layout
  • Is there a regular position/scale/ for the text on the page?
  • How is the type face integrated or contrasted with the other imagery?
  • How is the front and back cover effective?
  • How many images are used?
  • What messages are clear here and how have they been cleverly put together?
ARTIST RESEARCH TO DO

2.      How have they composed their imagery?
3.      What media have they used?
4.      What processes and techniques have been included and what do you think about them?
5.      What mood, idea or concept does it reflect?
6.      Do you think the work is successful?  Why?
7.      What style would you say this work reflects?
8.      What makes this work interesting?
9.      Work in the style of at least 3 of these artists/designers and produce a series of images that reflect their work using some of your photos.  At least 6 images.
