Prepare a PDF document with the intention of showing it to an industry professional and asking them politely for a short piece of feedback. This should contain an edit of the work you produced for Body of Work. You may wish to include an overarching artist’s statement as well as the introduction you wrote in Body of Work. In the first instance, you’ll use this to introduce your work and your ideas to your tutor who will give you suggestions on the submission itself and how to enhance the PDF before sending it out. Please tell your tutor who the PDF is intended for and include some background information on how you’ll contact them. Make sure that you’ve researched the form your submission should take; some organisations still ask for a CD/DVD, for example, which you should prepare in advance.

This was the draft Publicity PDF I sent to my Tutor for initial feedback:
My Tutor replied and gave these suggestions:
Thank you very much for sharing your draft. It reads well.
However, the footnotes seem rather crowded and I’m not convinced they are needed; perhaps consider omitting these, or perhaps include a question asking specifically asking for feedback on this element when sending out?
This I did, see the next post
