The Visual Journal (A5 Concertina)

1. Research - Research subject and locate quotes, concepts, theories, and other practitioners that link. Initial ideas, responding to and experimenting with line, colour, shape, texture, collage

2. Feedback/Development - Extended initial ideas, identify successful practical research approaches and how they relate to theoretical research, selecting one formal element

3. Focus (concept/idea/theory/specific element) - Review successes of experimental work, consider synthesis between theorists, concepts, quotes > selecting only focused communication

4. Rationale - Use peer feedback and evaluation on practical ideas to develop understanding of emerging practice - producing a rationale for the work in progress

5. Positioning of Work - Developments - how the practical work has developed, where is it going? Contextualising and positioning work within contemporary illust practice, considering suggested formats, practices, purposes

6. Evaluation of Synthesis - Critically assess (crit) the outcomes, direction, positioning with the intention of understanding. Evaluate the project so far focusing on the synthesis. Plan further activities based around the rationale, position and synthesis together to meet the deadline.
