Why do we annotate pages, what do you annotate and what do you write?
Basically, anything that the assessor needs to know and understand about your work. Most of this is hidden in your brain, you need to get it out.
The majority of annotation should happen at the time of making, not as an afterthought. You'll be surprised how much it can clarify your thinking and add a little extra unexpected spark to your work.
Therefore, annotation can take place...
* prior to work beginning (imagining, prioritising, explaining and inventing what you are attempting to do)
* during (evaluation of current ideas, analysis of work, comparisons)
* after (evaluations, concluding, giving opinions)
N.B If it's just a description of events, and has no personal element, it won't be good.
Stick some examples of your typography inspiration into your sketchbook - this might be screenshots from Pinterest or Dafont.
Be creative with your annotations, lift ups, overlays, writing over photos, labels, speech bubbles.
I have an annotation sheet that might be helpful. It's HERE.
