My pre proposal for my final project.

1. Daniel Morland
FMP
initial ideas
Tell me in no more than20 words, what is your
FMP idea?
A Visual edit of photossentin by customers. For
example, a customerwould send in an image they
would like to be customised by my art, and for a fee I
would sendback the result. Makingchanges if they
want them.
Why have youdecided to makeit? It's anidea I can continueoutsideof college, as a
hobby oreven as a businessventure.
What aboutyourproject makesit importantto
you?
It’sa subject I have thoughtaboutsincethe year
started. It hascontinuedto develop throughoutthe
year as I havelearnt morestyles in media studies.
Overall, it's importanttome because it sumsupthe
whole year in oneproject.
Outline someof the initial influences onyour
idea/work and somepotential research targets
(remember, research isn’t justa paperbased
activity)
My initial ideas are inspired by an image I saw in my
friend's house, of an old albumcover they hadfor
their band. It hadtheir band memberson a square
albumcover with psychedelicare work surrounding
them. It didn’tcompletely cover their bodies;
however, it did slightly cover them. Incorporatingart
with an actual photo, parallel with my ideas.
For my research I have many ideas to see if my
audience wants my artwork overtheir images. First, I
would investigateexisting productsandwhat I would
incorporateinto by businessmodel. Thiswould allow
me to begin to makestructuringinto my payments
andthen products.
The next research I wouldmove to is customer
based. It wouldtarget my audience’spreferences.
Questionswill ask aboutwhat the customerswould
want outof the productandhow muchthey would
be willing to spendon a productlike this. Basedoff
of the questionsasked, I couldalter my product
basedon what the potentialcustomerstell me.
What effect do youwant to haveon your
audience when they see yourproject?
I would want my audience to be impressedwith my
product. Itshouldimply animprovementonthe
photo, beit a small or large change. An improvement
basedon what the customerrequested. Depending
on where the customerswork is placed, other people
shouldsee the work that I did on the customers
image and they themselvesmight want their own
variationof artwork on a photothey select. This
shouldinspire the new and existing customersto
continuecoming back with new images that I can

2. edit over. Continuingthecycle of customersand
expandingmy audience.
Describe the tone/mood/styleofyourproject
[which productiontechniques/characteristics
are youemploying?]
I want my work to be a variety of:
 Psychedelic
 Mysteriousness
 Modernart
Incorporatinga variety of these 3 themes, I will edit
over images with these in mind.
The techniques I will use in my work will include
usinga brushin photoshopforthemain part.
Creating a new layer to bringa partof the image in
front onthe brush work but havingsomeof the
image covered by this style. I have boughtin a
drawing tablet to aid with my design work on
photoshop. Thisshouldallowme to go into more
detail with a drawing tablet as opposedtojust a
mouseon my pc.
Why have youdecided to makeyour project in
this style?
Because its new andan interesting art style for
images to incorporate. I will havecontinuouswork as
new customerscontinue to submitimagesfor me to
edit over.
