Overall feedback


Dear Ian

Many thanks for the time today and it was good to catch up in person.

Spoke about the timeline for the final two assignments for the course. If you do need a bit more time for Assignment 5, then you will be looking at the latest of mid-November to submit.

Assignment 2

Pages with images - keep the name and move it down a little

Then just have the age under the photo of the left, and the age under the photo on the right.

I think simplifying the text will make the viewer look at the images more to draw comparisons.


Assignment 4

The two books I mentioned: Your Brain on Art by Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross – you will also find several talks on YouTube with the authors speaking if you want to check out before.


The Artist in the Machine Arthur I Miller

Spoke about AI


OCA Guidelines on using AI – just so you are aware for assessment. It is worth a close read of this, just to ensure that you are being clear about the use of AI in your work.



Think how you will develop the imagery further – this is key for assignment 5.

How does the project evolve. What are the next steps? Assignment 5 allows you to produce additional work or rework the original idea into something else.

It is also important for assessment to ensure that the background research/ideas/thinking is all documented on your blog for this project.

Spoke about the work still to be uploaded for coursework and research.

Do look at the learning objectives on the link below. You can then target areas where you think you may not have enough evidence for assessment.



The advice for submission for all Photography courses is here:

Remember that you can keep adding/amending/editing your work prior to the final submission date for assessment which is 12pm GMT on 22nd January 2025. This does mean that you have time to further develop ideas on your work or get things like books made.

Do get in touch when you are ready with assignment 5 and we can arrange a call.
