How to draw your static image

Part 1: Plan your static image

Before you begin planning your own static image, your teacher will discuss
examples of other static images and the visual and verbal language
features that were used.
Choose a text to base your static image on and think about its central ideas.
Brainstorm possible elements for your design. You might like to consider the
following:
images, colours, fonts, symbols that are appropriate to your text
mediums e.g. collage, photography, cartoons, paint that might be
appropriate to represent your ideas and text
possible quotations or words linked to the text that you could use to
reinforce your visual ideas.
From your brainstorm, select the ideas that you think will work best
together. You will need a unified structure rather than a series of
independent elements. Think about how you can make visual and verbal
language features work together to achieve the effect you want.
You could look closely at the exemplars and think about their strengths and
areas they could be improved. You may not use specific parts of any of the
exemplars in your own static image.
Draft the layout of your static image. Think about the structure of your
image and move the individual elements of your design around on the page
to create the best possible effect. Be prepared to remove or change
elements that do not work. Only when you are satisfied with your design
should you move on to the final production of your image.

Part 2: Assemble your static image

Produce your static image to A3 size using the techniques you decided upon
during the drafting process. Complete each element and apply each
technique with control and care. Aim for consistency of style so that all the
elements are integrated as a unified whole.
You could look again at the exemplars to see how this level of integration
has been achieved in these images.
