ASSIGNMENT FOUR PUBLICATION DRAFT

/ niki

A SUMMARY

The brief:  Complete this assignment before the publication of your work. This is your final opportunity to get tutor feedback on your work before it is exhibited or otherwise launched to a wider audience.

Send your tutor a final draft of your work together with the promotional materials you have prepared.

What you send to your tutor will depend on what you’re doing for your publication. Whatever form your publication will take, you must be able to provide your tutor with a good sense of how you envisage it being presented. Any of the following may be appropriate: page layouts; print sequences; installation maquette/sketch; recce shots; web page previews.

Also send to your tutor:

  • Your artist’s statement about your work.
  • Your artist’s biography.
  • A press release for your publication.
  • Any other promotional material or evidence of promotional activity relating to your publication.
  • Any strategies you have for assessing footfall and collating audience feedback.

To do this I have gained experience with:

  • Creating a draft book with Blurb as below.
  • Printing software (Blurb Bookwright). I have downloaded affinity software to use with my final book product with Exwhyzed
  • Comparing printer’s capabilities, costings and quality (through samples) ready for my end product: Exwhyzed, Mixam, Blurb.
  • Printer’s design software (moo) when making publicity and feedback postcards
  • Fine- tuned my artist statement and bio, and gained experience numerous experiences of adapting it for various audience
  • Adobe my portfolio when building a website and managing the content. I have been contacted about my work via my website
  • Press releases – by research and writing my own
  • Putting my work out there through open calls and reviewing with peers and postgraduates also. My work is featured over two pages in the August edition of Suboart Magazine, is to be shown at the Glasgow Gallery of Photography in October and was chosen for the Shutterhub 2024 Yearbook.
