profiles of objects.

...rely only on photography.
...simply recount or summarise events to fill space.

Where were the students

6. recycled papers used
collage
drawing
Several techniques
used. Orientation exploring with fonts
and lettering
of elements also
experimented with
and page appears
well balanced.
10. Excellent layout and
composition created
with planned colour
choice, lettering, paper
and line drawing. Is
additional text required?
11.
12. Good attempt at
drawing with text
alongside. Further
experimental
lettering could have
been used for titling
etc. Marker could
also have been used
over the painting.

14. Interesting drawing
technique even
though some
elements are out of
perspective. Further
work could be done
with decorative
lettering in the title.
Found paper objects
could also have
been included such
as ticket stubs
bringing it to a
higher level.
