Create a single sheet A1 'VISUAL DOCUMENT that is an experimental A1 Bibliography - a visual LIST and a Typographic document of the writers and literature you have used so far - including examples and including your own cut up Creative writing. Also include for extra text extracts of a brief evalutation or evaluative sentences - process' and feelings of work so far - experiment with drawn and 'organic' shapes. Printing methods, photocopying tones etc - textures for a SUBTLE background ? and tonal values.
Your text and composition can be experimental and used editorially if you wish =- as in a layout = and have some accompanying visuals - try to keep it simple palette, two colour or even black and white - so you focus on FORM and lineage / composition - positive and negative space etc ( dont get too focused on your KEY - that can wait )
This is a kind of mapping if you like, of your learning experience and importantly your research.
You must include;
1. A BIBLIOGRAPHY on / in the layout - all boks - artists , magazines , articles referenced
.. using Two fonts only - use the Family for variety.
2. Show examples / lists of the writers that fit with your previous exercises ie confession cut up, anthropomorphic amalgam & juxtaposition.
3. A rough key to the writers work / text referenced and in your layout - coded or by Font ? - it may be complex and interesting - and can be vague ? go for expression over Logic on this one - enjoy it - and keep surprising me !

'Confession' task.
Your last exercise was write a 'confession' - keep it as original OR do a CUT UP exerise to distort its content somewhat - It must remain interesting and if it is cut up then it must be Lyrical Reference the examples from Billy Childish and Bill Drummond that I handed out from 'Dazed and Confused magazine ) you are to then visualise this piece of writing with a visual image - again emulate the page layouts I handed out as examples - this may be a drawing - a Polaroid - any image - that visualises your CONFESSIONAL piece. When you are happy with it then vsit the PLOTTER A1 printer and do an A2 or A1 B&W Print for the pin up on Tuesday 17th Nov 10am
