Price List old and Updated

I had to make a price list, and name each picture, I separated each picture from mounted and unmounted. 

 

I felt this price guide was over loaded with information, so therefore re designed it and had three different sizes that people could chose from , I also reduced the prices since it is the bromley library you have to question how much people will be willing to spend. I think if I had chosen a more high profile location I could have made more money. 

Order Forms

I wanted to make an order form so that people could potentially buy my art. I made sure it was simple and easy to understand. 

This allowed people to clearly right down their orders.

Creating An exhibition Poster.

This is my original poster idea, the picture is from singapore and I applied a filter from photoshop, my original concept was to have the buddha image very bright so people were drawn into it. however it looked to dark, the font was also not working.

The second image was a lot stronger, I applied a blur filter to the background and changed the font. I still needed and Title.

This final Image was a lot stronger, I had a title which explained the nature of the exhibition and I had researched various exhibition posters and included similar information to mine. 

Project Plan

http://learn.rave.ac.uk/moodle/mod/assignment/view.php?id=29550

Research

I decided that I would hold an Exhibition, I have had an interest in photography for some years now and I wanted to incorporate one of my passions which is the study of diverse cultures and include this as part of my exhibition. 

Therefore my exhibition will demonstrate the essence of Asian culture. The photos were taken during my gap year where I traveled around Asia for four months. 

I began by working out how much it would cost to print my pictures and I questioned what Size should I print them at. I got price guides from snappy snaps, la foto and ravensbourne university. It turned out that it would be to costly to use these companies. Ravensbourne printing was a cheap alternative and the image quality was good and the cost low. as little as one pund per print on A2 size. 


To improve my project I should have contacted Artists who have had experience in setting up galleries, they could provide vital information on how print and they right way to display your art or photos. 


It would have also been beneficial to have had my exhibition in a more high profile gallery such as London once again, I would of had to invest more time and effort to do this. It is something I will look into in the future. 

Progress Map

I thought It would be a good Idea to Create A progress Map, explaining my thought process. 

My research began with the internet and the contacted people and eventually setting up an exhibition.

• I asked them a number of questions, am I allowed to sell my prints there, what dates can I host an exhibition, how much they charge.
• I also when brainstorming wrote down a number of points which I should consider, where to print? where to host the exhibition? Can I use some of the money I made from a family wedding for this project?

E & E The Project What do we have to do?

Enterprise and Entrepreneurship - Making it happen, gives students the chance to create an entrepreneurial endeavor and ultimately make some money.

In the Level 3 project, you will come up with a business idea and carry out an enterprise.  The enterprise can be based on a hobby / interest, based on a business opportunity you have stumbled upon or related to your course.

·       There has to be actual trade- money switching hands or procurement agreement (/contract) signed- before summative assessment

·       You are responsible for making sure you have the appropriate licenses, that your enterprise is legal, morally acceptable and in line with college regulations.

·       Any monetary investments need to be discussed with a tutor and an exit strategy devised.
