Narrative - Frankie Feinstein

Narrative - Frankie Feinstein.
These are the images I presented for my narrative module. I have decided to print these photographs for my print box. I will be printing these in A4 and inserting them into print sleeves. This technique will help me achieve a professional form of presentation to clients.

Printbox Ordered

I've ordered my A4 print box with a pack of 10 sleeves. Thankfully I ordered this on silverprint via a girl from my university. This was a big help money wise as we got a discount due to the size of the order. I ended up paying just under £45 which is brilliant news. Also I've also made a start printing my portfolio out too.

Prints
I was going to be printing onto A4 semi gloss paper and leaving roughly an inch boarder around the outside. This was because when clients handle your work they do not damage the actual image itself and getting finger prints on the image is minimised.

I decided to choose sleeves to present my work in rather than using achival tissue. The main reason for this was i can get a full A4 size print for clients to look at this way without compromising the size of my final images. These final prints will be easy to handle and look through and minimal damage will be caused.

Brand Spanking New Website - Sqare Space

I had to change the laout of my website because I wasn't happy with it. unfortunately this has set me back a few days I have managed to make up the time and I have created a new design. this design looks a lot better and is much easier to edit and change in the future.

Like the last website deisgn I have the basics, except this time I have added separate galleries which, to me is easy to navigate between.

Print box and portfolio.

I have decided to buy an A4 print box to display my portfolio. all of my work for my narrative project was printed A4 so i believe having the series of 6 images printed exactly the same or having an inch border will be perfect. i with be using sleeves rather than archival tissue to protect my work. The reason for this is I would prefer the series to be viewed in a solid order and be similar to a book format. The original ideas came from a book and this is a brilliant way to display a narrative.

Re-thinking website design

I've decided to re design my website using photo space. This is because the gallery options are better with more extensive research. There are more ways to personalise it as well and I've decided if I'm going to have a website I need to make it right! Tomorrow I will be redesigning the site, and hopefully making it live.
