Presentation methods, formats and conventions (Hard-copy)

This should be part of your professional practice stand-alone pages and used in your main body of work when required and contextualised. 

Presentation methods, formats and conventions.

Knowledge needs to be shown in terms of your understanding of client needs. If your working for clients in Basildon their would be certain expectations of what they might require in terms of presentation and quality of materials, whereas if you were hanging work for an exhibition in a private gallery in Mayfair London - the requirements and expectations would be different again. It's this knowledge that you need to show you have and understand in terms of clients and demographic details. 

As with the other stand-alone pages, as you learn more about this aspect of photography return to this file/section of your work and add to it and keep doing so over the duration of the course and where needed add this content to the work you're doing, ensuring that it is contextualised in a relevant way. 

Your 'Finals' that you'll need to print off and add to a portfolio are probably being produced in almost the worst form they could possibly be... Lazer copy printing using a photo-copy machine. But, the situation is currently universities and even some employers no longer insist on seeing high-quality portfolios when you're applying for a place on a course or a job. More often than not you'll be guided to produce your 'Portfolio' in a digital format of their choice which will be submitted digitally. Last year there were a range of methods that Universities requested, but the connecting factor was that it was important to be ready to submit the work and have it at your finger-tips as such and ready to be up-loaded or added to a document or portal.

Despite this, it's important that you are aware that outside of this scenario you need to have the knowledge and awareness of the formats, methods and conventions relating to the presentation of hard-copy and digital files in other professional scenarios. 

Medium format camera work: During this phase of the course you'll be introduced to high-quality print finishing that is seen in the production of traditional B&W photography printed for display in galleries and exhibitions. 

Initially all you need to do is collate basic information about each of the products from the Ilford/Harmon website. Using images, product information  for the following papers at the very least for this part of the work...

More complex research details should appear in the stand-alone pages for materials

Ilford MG300 art paper

Ilford (FB) classic gloss

Ilford (FB) classic matt

Once you've used the paper and experienced the quality and its tactile aspects, you'll be able to add to your research your own thoughts and experiences of it - comparing it with the work you've printed previously on RC VC paper and lazer prints from poto-copy machines.
