FMP Portfolio Layout Confusion!

Can someone Please clarify what measurements our FMP portfolios have 2 be?? Does it have to be within the 29.7 by 24.2 measurements or can it be whatever, as in A4 or A3???

see comment from db/gts..
also here..

Sent this template out yesterday and is on bboard for you. Have spoken to gts who will require for assessment a body of work which which reflects the undertaking of a major double module (fmp) ie. all object based work inc. books must be supported but support and planning work. Once work is assessed you can then edit it along side other work to represent yourself and your 'show' portfolio.
Beacause all projects are different in nature it is difficult to define a singular presentation style. You should also present feedback, particularly if working for a live client. db/gts

CYMK vs. CMYKOG > all you wanted to know

Unlike CMYK printing, Hexachrome employs an RGB workflow so that color gamut is not compressed. At the outset, it is critical to develop an RGB and color managed workflow to maximize the extended color advantage. PANTONE HEXWAREe® plug-ins are used in conjunction with Adobe® Photoshop® and Adobe Illustrator® to color-correct files, separate into six channels and soft-proof images while QuarkXPress is Hexachrome enabled. Our Hexachrome Designer Primer, available as a PDF download, provides an easy to understand overview on preparing files for printing in Hexachrome. Lastly, in addition to a six-color press and access to six-color proofing system, specially formulated Hexachrome inks are required.

Just to make it even simpler .. you know when you have a pic in pshop and it looks great then you convert to cmyk ready for press printing and it looks dull well this process keeps th original rgb colours intact..

The photoshoot was exciting and although the photographer was a bit over excited!thanks to my little assistant IVY AMOAH!!!more pics on my blog if you wana check out!

Hey guys! The photo shoot was great today, I really had fun! Well done guys!

PHOTO SHOOT // TUES 15TH PM & WED 16TH AM

HI EVERYONE - AS YOU CAN SEE WE'VE BEEN VERY BUSY ORGANISNG THE PHOTOSHOOT, BORROWING LOVELY CLOTHES FOR EVERYONE TO WEAR FROM AMERICAN APPAREL AND DOING THIS TEST SHOOT THIS MORNING.

This shows a few of the clothes that we have borrowed and the kind of poses we expect you lot to 'pull'. Obviously as you're all a creative bunch ideas for poses are welcome. We're doing something post production over the image (CHECK BRIGHTER SHOW BLOG) to make sure our image isn't a direct copy of our inspiration image, so fear not...

BOYS! BRING TRACKSUIT BOTTOM - WHITE, GREY, COLOURED... or anything else bright coloured and bold - apart from blue and black and grey jeans. Bring T shirt, vests, hoodies and accessories etc too.

GIRLS! BRING LEGGINGS - OF ALL COLOURS, BRIGHT, PLAIN TOPS AND SKIRTS/SHORTS/ ETC. Also bring jewellery if you want it - but no necklaces as they get in the way. Think about how you want your hair to look if it's long. If you don't want it to fly about, tie it up etc. Also... if you wear make-up, be prepared to have to wear more than you normally do. I had to wear full on make up today - and it made me look like a drag queen, but you can hardly see it in the images. So - make-up - bright colours - lipstick, blusher and eyeshadow - annd lots of eyeliner... only if you want make-up obviously....

Obviously, judging from these pics you can use your own discretion as to what you think will be suitable (which we will then help to fit in with the concept and style of the shoot.

Binding

Does anyone know of a place that will wire bind at A5 landscape (the shortest side)? Plenty of print places will do it, unfortunately they all seem to be set up for A4, so when they do it it's off centre. If anyone knows of a place that does it, could you let me know? Cheers!

Hasina- Photoshoot Video process

26/04/07
Took 3 trains to East London (Cyprus to be exact). Got to the studio at 9:30am, finished at 7:00pm. Total number of 764 pictures. I don't know which ones to pick!!!!! The day was long!!! Got home at 9:00pm

The day was like a mini road trip, i was really excited, i forgot to eat, became really light headed and stuffed my face with chocolate, crisps and coke. Big no no.

Yeah i did it, i flirted!!! It got the job done THOUGH!! He became more relaxed & started taking better pics.

I'm not a poser, is a poser and he was loving it!!! Although he was trying to do it on the sly, but i picked up on it, i had his cards marked.

Here are some pics of Jay-D-Will's work.

Heres a short video of the process. Sorry its a bit blurry.

Should have some pic on my blog in the next 24 hour.

FMP Images

Hi guys, I'm starting an experience with the FMP spreads but I really need you to colaborate and tell me which image you would like me to use. Otherwise I will go to your blogs and choose it myself.

Here's an example of what could work for the FMP layout.



ana

Deskpics?

Soz to sound like an utter moron, but what are the deskpics about? Do you want pics of our workspace? With our goodselves in it?

Christine

PLEASE KEEP DISCUSSIONS AND IDEAS ABOUT THE SHOOT ON THE PREVIOUS 'LOOKIN GORGEOUS' POST ONLY, IF YOU WANT TO ADD PHOTOS TO YOUR COMMENTS JUST USE THE URL.

PLUS, PLEASE SIGN YOUR NAME AT THE END OF YOUR COMMENT.

Thanks Guys.

- another idea?

Just wondered if anyone thought it could be a good idea to have our portrait taken in a club to fit with the Brighter theme? Just thought it could be a fun idea! Seems to reflect the neon lighting of the show!

Call for Ideas!

PLEASE KEEP IDEAS FOR SHOOT COMING EVERYONE! DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES SUNDAY 29th!! Therein a vote will take place - we need to get things rollin!
Please bear in mind the theme for this years journal and show - check out the SHOW BLOG for inspiration, we can't jus do any random shoot - If everyones hooked on the school portrait , How about a fluorescent School portrait ?
Whatever shoot we do, a selection of clothing will be provided for you to choose from, you may personalise it with 'accessories' as long as it is passed through the stylist first. These details will be arranged later.
CONTINUE DISCUSSION ON PREVIOUS POST ONLY
Thanks guys.

Concept something along the lines of our designer alter-egos...only requirement would be to wear bright neon colours to reflect the shows theme this year. We needs everyone's thoughts or other suggestions ASAP once again, shoot to be scheduled within next few weeks and full co-operation from everyone will be needed!
