My decisions for the final submission were:
General - all assignments
- Submit my course material digitally (either by CD or by USB stick): the OCA student site signals strongly that digital presentation is now preferred for assessing course work at Levels 1 and 2 (without saying directly that students cannot submit physical prints, etc.)
- Treat this assignment as if it going to be marked, even though the assessment guidance to students says that it isn't. Practice makes perfect - I am doing the course to improve as a photographer, not just to pass an exam.
- Prepare all images ready for printing at 9 x 6 inches, , to increase consistency between each Assignment submitted for marking (the human mind prefers order and repetition unless departing from it is an essential part of the message)
- Keep the following images from the original submission: the single image with contrasts of St Paul's Cathedral (A1) and Monochrome v Colour (B5, now B1)
- Change the description of 2 pairs of contrasts: Peaceful and spacious vs. Hectic and Cramped (B1, now B2) to Quiet vs. Busy, Red circle on white background and vice versa (B8, now B3) to Positive vs. Negative (yes, these are simple images but I like the contrast so am willing to take the consequences in the hands of when marked by the assessors!)
- Switch the Country image for an alternative with a vertical frame (as opposed to a horizontal one) to improve the impact of the contrast in Country v City (B6, now B4)
- Create 4 new pairs, all still lifes: B5 Few vs. Many, B6 Pointed vs. Round, B7 Curved vs. Straight and B8 Scruffy vs. Neat
