I.T.A.P Lecture 6 (Production and Outcome)

Key principles

• Medium

• Testing    

 A medium is what tools you use to create a piece be it paint, pencil, pen ect, and also how you create it. choosing a certain medium can also be how you get yourself noticed in the world, many different artists use different mediums and communicate different things. Take "Banksys" work for example it focuses very much on "war" and "religion", where as the artist "Blu" dosnt focus on anything really but it is the way he works that makes up his medium, such as the lack of coulor that he dosnt use.This makes his pieces stand out a lot more than anybody else's also the sheer size of them dwarfs buildings.

Testing

Testing your work is crucial to how well it performs in the outside world, if you don't test your work how do you know if its communicating what you want it to? There are many ways you can "test" your work one of them is to upload it onto the internet and hope to revive comments and reviews of other people on it, another way is getting your work into a gallery. But the best thing to do is try and promote it as much as possible and in anyway shape or form this will show more people what you do and then you will get their comments on it in some way or another, but it is key that not only are you happy with the work that you produce but so are the clients and others.

Benefits of working on commercial and non commercial projects.

I think the benefits of not working on a commercial project is of course you can do what you wish because there is no client to tell you what you need to do, but on the other hand you don't get paid for it. In saying that and going back to what i was saying previously though it is a good way of getting your work out there as a client isn't going to use your work lets say in a shop window that's going to be an A4 poster which nobody is really going to see.

The benefits of working on a commercial project of course is that you do get paid for it, and not only that the client that you are working for can then pass your name on to another business and then that business might hire you.

Ah yes and before i forget i was going to upload the first piece that ive worked on in my "Skills" sketchbook.
