8.4.2 Evaluating the creative process
Student Book
pp 254–55
Use the template below to help you to evaluate the creative process that you went through
when completing your project.
Describe how you generated your initial ideas
I generated ideas through primary research, secondary research and meetings. I wanted to do an
exhibition of photography. I wanted the photography to be based on London sites.
Why did you choose one particular idea to develop further?
My partner for the project and I combined our ideas. Her ideas were that she anted to a fashion
show on clothing. I wanted to do an exhibition of photographs on London sites. We combined
these ideas to make a photography exhibition on how diversity is presented through fashion in
London. I liked this idea because taking photographs of London sites is pretty boring but adding
models to present cultures in London sites is much more interesting.
How successful were the research methods that you used?
The primary research with Hannie Syeda, a professional model, was successful as she helps and
gave us advice how to know and choose the right people to model for our project.
The primary research with Toby, a professional photographer, really helped me boost my skills as
it was a session that taught me the technical terms of photography and he helped me know the
different camera angles. He also set us tasks to do and take photographs in Victoria Park.
The secondary research using the internet as well as books help me find out the history behind
each culture’s fashion as we needed for the exhibition ti stick up with the photographs, therefore it
was very successful.

Explain what technical skills you developed whilst doing the project
I developed my camera skills. During my project, I experimented taking photographs from
different angles and zooming in and out and flash etc.
If you were to do this project again, what changes would you make?
I would make sure, that during the exhibition day, that I will prepare the exhibition room 30
minutes before the exhibition time. That way the visitors coming in won’t find be still preparing
the exhibition room.
