1. Understanding the process of creating the artefact.

a) Investigation




































b) Process

Using free hand to deign this bug was different from using the macs since we started this course, i enjoyed this because it wasn't just using computerized tools, you could design it and choose how u wanted it to look.












Drawing the portrait on the apple macs with the tablets, i enjoyed this the most because it looks like its my own portrait i drawn from free hand, and its got more of an animated look to it.

















In designing my logo on the apple macs, i enjoyed using illustrator and using different tools to design my logo from different shapes, i could of improved on my saving skills, could of also improved on taking my time in my work.

I succeeded in my monoprint with my two colour contrast, my mono print doesn't show to much detail but it helped me use different ways of creating art, experimenting with different techniques. i could of improved on my work by using different objects, e.g. spoons, blunt or sharp objects, to give a different effect on my print. unexpected errors in my work that are happy accidents give more effect to my work because they add to the colour and give an even contrast of bright and dark.

c) Circumstances that influence design of artefact

Dan Williams Graduated form the Royal Collage of Art and he has worked and lived in London For Over 17 Years.
Dan explores new work and implies them on to his work.
For Dan’s inspiration he travels all over the globe exploring different locations and different sceneries, Capturing the mood and sense of the place. He does this to keep fresh and moving forward.
Recently he has spent 3 months in the countryside, living in a cemetery lodge. This was the big test to see if I was ready to leave London. The results have proved inconclusive. So for now he is working back in his studio, Big Orange, with other illustration compatriates. Dan has worked on a range of books, ECT. Anorak Magazine Winter Edition and Nothing Collective.

2. Planning the Artefact

B. Plannig Doc





this was a random collection of pictures, from different drawing types of a space shuttle, cars and bikes










this was a rough draft of my front cover , by emerging all of my ideas into on, a luxury car because he wants to be a king, his bike which is always there with him on his journey, and a space shuttle because he wants to be an astronaut

this was a drawing of the eifel tower because on his journey he passes this landmark

b. Planning Documents

Risk Assesment

Production Plan

C. Creating Strong Ideas

this is one of my ideas towards my book, its a plain image with a complicated and deatailed hand on top of it, makes the whole picture stand out.









this was one of my first ideas for my book cover, it was an original design which slowly got edited and changed until it got to my final design




































































This is my first book cover design, hand drawn and not editied

3. Creating the artefact

a) Gathering resources

b) Showing a range of skills and techniques

4. Monitoring your activity

A )Monitoring your progress with regularity

B)Reflecting on your Strengths and weaknesses

A strength that I brought to the project was being Punctual and having a good attendance to the lessons, I was also keen to excited my knowledge about computers and different techniques in art, I am also very enthusiastic about doing the project.

Designing my book cover is another one of my strengths where on the design of my book cover at the start, one of my strengths was my imagination because I came up with all theses different ideas for my book cover and different designs of characters. Another one of my strengths is the colour I choose for my book cover. I went through loads of different colours to find the right one and trying to find the right contrast between the background and the character.

My weaknesses where when I first started doing this artefact, getting used to the Macs and using all the different programs on them. My first problem that occurred was designing the logo on Illustrator as it was getting used to all the different tools and also on Photoshop I had the same problem.
