Here they are the final posts for the LCC Certificate in Illustration Final Major Project. I hope that the content will help you to understand more about the processes each artist goes through in order to achieve the required results. There is a lot of work to look at and my comments about each project reflect the methods of working adopted by each artist and not my personal opinions or the assessment grade achieved.
Direct reference to my assessment feedback is not possible as this information is confidential. I can annouce that I was able to award 5 DISTINCTIONS, 4 MERITS and 6 PASSES. No students failed the course or withdrew during the period of the Final Major Project.
The course has now been closed (Government funding for this type of course has been greatly reduced in 2009) and I would like to thank all staff and students who have worked on the course over the last five years and I wish them every luck for the future.
I will be back later in the summer with more news of my comic book scripts and a sneak preview of '100 DATES'
Peace be upon you.

LCC Cert in Illustration Final Major Project Term 3
WEIR DER CHERNG: This work was completed with minimum engagement from the student. It is very disappointing when a student does not feel it is necessary to attend lectures or ask for support from the tutor or other students. Weir Der needs to think carefully about his life and his attitude to his studies. Very sad moment for me as an educator.

VALERIA SUSLOVA: This student was able to develop a method of working that suited the context for the project well. I can only guess at the standards she would have achieved if she had taken more advice from her tutor and fellow students. It is the start of a whole new approach to image making for Valeria and she needs to monoplise on these developments.
STEFANO TERRANOVA: This work is the most sophisitcated produced by this group of students with a long and interesting future for this project after the end of the course. Stefano needs to improve his reflective learning and to write down his thoughts for consideration. This a major part of design education and continued ideas generation.
RANDY WATSON: This work is successful using humour to boost it's message and keep us guessing the meaning behind each of his characters.
MARCIN NOWAK: 5 illustrations to express his ideas on the modern concerns of western cultures. Particularly striking is the illustration for health and faith article. Bravo build your folder on these foundations.

CHANDRA SOUTHALL: These are the final artworks for this project. Much experimentation with techniques and compositions occured to make this a successful project. Chandra's work evolved during the project and shows she is able to intepret the writing of a fellow artist effectively. Good drawing skills employed and colour scheme.
KAREN RAINGOLD 3: This work is stunning and shows that Karen is maturing as an artist. Her work on this project has been of the highest standard and her dedication to using visual communication to express emotive issues goes from strength to strength. I like her experimentation with software and the fact that she worked to a tight schedule that helped complete the project early.
SABRINA SERRAT 3: Sabrina's diary works well and looks like the creation of an adolecent girl as intended. It is a pity that the diary has no cover and that the production quality of the book is rathered limited. It is a facinating account of a young woman's progress in London but could have been enhanced greatly by research into other diary writers and comparrisons made. Contexualisation can added weight to a project and it would have been beneficial to see why Sabrina choose the events she did for the diary.
KRISZTINA UVEGES 3: This work has been carefuly considered and the revisions on the project have helped Krisztina to get closer to her goal to become a children's book illustrator.
UGO PISA: Ugo's work is lyrical and uses humour to good effect. He has begun to strip away the layers that cloud the classic texts used for this project. He has remembered drawing and and mark making are fundamental to good design and has work that he did not expect from himself.

NICK CONDYLIS: Nick worked well during this project and has produced his most interesting work to date. He employs many new skills which he acquired on the course and is beginning to develop a visual language unique to his talents.

FRAN LLOYD: Due to unforseen circumstances Fran was unable to complete her work to the deadline of 4 June 2009. It has been agreed that she will submit her Final Major Project for assessment on 1 September 2009.
MARK CABELLERO 3: This project started out very well showing that Mark understands research methods effectively. However the work is limited by the technique employed to render the more detailed symbolic objects. The work requires scale and I suggest Mark projects these images onto a large wall and records the results.
ANDREW HITCHEN 3: This work has come about due to the hard work and dedication that Andrew has exhibited all year. He has changed his working methods a great deal and has forged a new identity and an imagemaker.

MANISA LEKPRAYOON 3: Weird and wonderful illustrations from the mind of a most unusual designer. The medium of film is reinterpreted to express the quality of storytelling using 2D formats. The sketchbook development of ideas is the strongest element of the work.
REBEKAH FORD 3: Remarkable achievement for this student. The investigation of one's own history and the discovery of a facinating story. The project has helped Rebekah to define who she is through the prism of her ancestor's life. Her working methods are impressive and consistent.

LCC Cert in Illustration Final Major Project Term 3
FINAL CRIT: At this session 12 students showed their work and explained how the had got to this stage of development. All those present seemed confident that they would have the FMP completed by the Deadline of 4 pm on Thursday 4 June 2009.
The students who did not attend the session were all contacted and reminded of their obligation to complete the FMP. After I complete my assessment another illustration tutor double marks the FMP’s. The Examination Body ABC will then send in an External Moderator to check that the standard of the assessment is appropriate.
I will upload all the completed FMP's and my comments after Thursday 25 June 2009. All original artwork displayed is the copyright of the individually named artists.
