Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The project outcome will be a self-published work of fiction titled The Consequences, and an exhibition of photographs that augment the book. 150 books will be offered to the public for sale and the photographs will be publicly exhibited. Audience reactions and reviews as a result of reading the book and visiting the exhibition can be used to evaluate the outcome of the project. 2: This completed project I will allow me to better represent myself to galleries and curators and pursue literary and publishing opportunities. The success of this outcome can be evaluated by the number of additional exhibition opportunities for my work, number of book sales, increased traffic to my website, and publication opportunities.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Photoshop techniques were learned by the artist and dramatically enhanced the aesthetic of the project. 2: A beautifully illustrated book and story were realized.
