What I have done so far

I am currently at the stage of thinking of art tests towards my project. I will explore photo manipulation for designing visual metaphors and spreading messages.  Photo manipulation is not my strongest skill but I will be looking at tutorials online, videos and some books.

I need to get used to photoshop as it will be my main tool for this project.  I have gotten so familiar to illustrator that I ignored the other packages which will not benefit me in future. If I gain a basic understanding of photoshop and start from the beginning, it will strengthen my ability towards my final project as the year goes on.

I will be designing a few already made pieces before I experiment on my own metaphor as I believe it's best to find out how they create the image rather than jump straight into my own idea.

Apart from thinking about photoshop I have also collected a number of books to help me gain an understanding of creative advertising and how it affects the public in Persuasion.  Currently I am writing down a few notes from these books that will be helpful for my research,  I have also booked a trip to the Glasgow design festival talks panel where designers discuss their project, career and their pipeline.  I may book another trip there for the exhibition in November.
