A lot of my inspiration was taken from commercial material so in terms of artist research, it is not my strongest area.

In terms of reference material, I have found a lot of great websites and organisations with a great interest and knowledge of the same contents as my project this has all been referenced in my bibliography. my ideas for this concept have developed from a standard grid on 9 images to a poster design containing both photography and graphic design aspects. I had done some experimentation so had an understanding of how to produce the images. This lead to my project taking a different direction, to something that I had experimented with and had a few ideas which was moon photography. This was not achieved due to me being unable to access transport to specific locations. My goal was to capture and create an image of the milky way, my vision was to have this printed to a large format for display. My research and general knowledge for this subject was broad because of my previous attempt to put this project into action. To begin with, the theme for my FMP was going to be astrophotography where i aspired to achieve what i could not in my previous year FMP due to strict lockdown restrictions at the time. I can confirm that work submitted for assessment is all my own work and does not include any work completed by anyone other than myself and sources have been appropriately referenced in my bibliography. I have developed my ideas more from this experimentation and believe that i am nearing what i would like my my final piece to look like. I definitely prefer the Second poster with the line through the font and think that it was the right thing to do. Using the pen tool, i drew a line and adjusted the thickness to something that i thought worked well with the fonts and overall theme of the poster. Lastly, I changed the text not only the contents but i felt that in the poster on the left, something was missing. I did have to move everything around to even out the composition. I also changed the dimension of the poster to A3 which is something I should have done in my initial experimentation so I made sure to include it this time around. Doing this did create some disruption in colour around the moons, however I resolved this by painting the colour changing the feathering of the brush for different parts of the moon. Firstly, the pure brilliant white background was something that I wanted to change to an off-white. After my previous experimentation, I decided to develop on some features of my poster design.
