REVEAL - SurfaceThe following pages contain guides for the project
Read the briefCheck the requirements for presentation, be on timeCelebrate and apply your knowledge from other
courses
![Page 2: Project 1 Guide](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051518/568bd6191a28ab20349ad75c/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Task
Investigate the properties of a materialProperties = physical attributesInvestigate = applying a range of physical processesProcess = the method of working a materialMaterial = a physical substance not an object
![Page 3: Project 1 Guide](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051518/568bd6191a28ab20349ad75c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Discovery and evidence
Discover how material properties are influenced by your process
The process will influence the surfaceThe surface communicates the properties of the
material
![Page 4: Project 1 Guide](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051518/568bd6191a28ab20349ad75c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Aesthetics
Surface communicates material through aesthetic qualities
What we seeWhat we touch

Form
Surface is influenced by formForm should come from the investigation process I.E.Metal will start to curve when hammeredRope will become unruly when unwoundPlastic sheet can be folded when scored
![Page 6: Project 1 Guide](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051518/568bd6191a28ab20349ad75c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Initial investigation
Apply as many processes as possible to investigate your material
Select three to develop
![Page 7: Project 1 Guide](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051518/568bd6191a28ab20349ad75c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Final investigation
Develop three final surfaces from your initial experiments
Each surface can show a different processEach surface must reflect a different understanding of
your material’s properties
![Page 8: Project 1 Guide](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051518/568bd6191a28ab20349ad75c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Composition of the surface
Your process may be developed and applied to communicate a composition
I.E. space, rhythm, chaos, hierarchy, layers, depth, texture, tactility, translucency
![Page 9: Project 1 Guide](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051518/568bd6191a28ab20349ad75c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Photography
Reveal the properties of your material as emotions!Depth of field and focus – try switching to macro
setting and get in closeShow us how you see/interpret your surfaceUse the photo studio on level 2Use a tripodHelp each otherEditing and cropping in Photoshop
![Page 10: Project 1 Guide](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051518/568bd6191a28ab20349ad75c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Mounting and hierarchy
Mounting is not a requirement but if utilised the following rules should be applied:
The composition/photographs are important and should not be overruled by the mount
The mount should celebrate the surfaces - not try to make up for inadequate investigation
![Page 11: Project 1 Guide](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051518/568bd6191a28ab20349ad75c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Mounting and hierarchy
Think - what am I trying to say by mountingBeware and be careful of ‘powerful’ materials I.E.
acrylic (highly polished, reflective, bling like)A perfectly cut edge will recede, while a rough cut will
draw attentionNarrow or dark borders around photos and
compositions will constrict the work, drawing attention away from the intended viewpoint
![Page 12: Project 1 Guide](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051518/568bd6191a28ab20349ad75c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Mounting your surface
Surface as individual piecesSurface mounted to another material to support I.E.Tied/tethered together to hangSupported on thin wire to elevatePositioned to show more than one face
![Page 13: Project 1 Guide](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051518/568bd6191a28ab20349ad75c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Mounting photos
Keep it simple - the photo content is paramountEditing and cropping (show what is important)Format, shape, size (get away from camera shop
postcard size)
![Page 14: Project 1 Guide](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051518/568bd6191a28ab20349ad75c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Mounting photos
Mounting on card or pin up, orAll 3 printed on one sheet (see the school
shop/print shop for large format printing)Can we see the detail in your photo?Greyscale or colourPaper quality – no photocopy a4s!

Presentation
3 Surfaces of approximately 100mm x 150mm Surfaces are evidence of investigation and design
composition3 Photographs (1 of each surface)Photographs celebrate and communicate your findingsThink about what you will say
![Page 16: Project 1 Guide](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051518/568bd6191a28ab20349ad75c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Conclusion
After the presentation - Upload your 3 photos plus 3 images from your workbook/initial investigations to flickr (follow instructions on brief)
Remember you may comment on others work including the labs on Flickr
Enjoy, share and participate in the presentationWell done!
