Final Status Report 8 September 2015

My portfolio of 22 images for the major project has now been printed, to A3 size, on Fuji “C-type” archival print paper. I sent five images each to two separate printers and compared the results. The prints that I obtained from “The Print Space”, a London printer, were both marginally sharper and also lighter in tone than those I received from the second printer, so I went with them. Although “The Print Space” offers a mail order service I chose to download the images on their premises, and return to pick up the prints a few hours later. In total, I spent over £300 on the prints and, when added to the cost of the portfolio box, storage sleeves and the cost of producing two photo books, this brings my total printing expenses in line with the original projected expenses of £450.


All that remains is for me to assemble and index my assignment files, tutor reports and logbook for submission both on disc and as hard copy, together with my prints (assignment prints other than those for the portfolio will be submitted at A4 size), my multimedia presentation and a copy of my photo book. I will update my blog with final thoughts and, as there is a large amount of material to be examined and I am aware that the assessors have limited time to look at each student’s work, I will also provide a concise explanatory note for the assessors, both on my blog (which acts as a primary source for the logbook) and in the hard copy presentation. All this will take time, but I intend to have the submission ready for handing in at the OCA offices on or around 23 September.
