Topic 3 - Authorship and Collaboration - Micro Project


This week you will form a small team within your cohort (2-6 people) and devise a simple ‘micro project’ that you can develop and complete in a few hours, over the course of a couple of days. You will present your work on a forum and in the webinar at the end of the week.



For the micro project I collaborated with Ian. We produced an image each using reappropriated images from Autotrader.co.uk. We would choose photographs of cars in the colours of the flag of where they came from. I produced a German flag, and Ian produced the England flag.

Below is the pdf presentation for when we showcased our work in the weekly forum:


I kept the background on the images showing the overlays from the website for the gallery and number of images. I felt this added to the appropriation of the images. Doing this however had the outcome that I should have used considerably more images to show off the colour of the flag. Also as this was a quick micro project we did not have the time to communicate enough in regards to how the images were going to look as Ian removed the background to the images of his cars for his flag and thus we produced two very different images for the brief we set out to complete.
