- Identify the specific market(s) to study and note the dates and times when activity is highest.
- Conduct preliminary secondary research:
- Search online for photographs, videos, and articles about the chosen market.
- Collect maps and historical records from local archives.
- Save digital files in a folder named “Secondary – MarketName – YYYYMMDD”.
- Plan a field visit:
- Prepare a sketchbook, portable camera, and a notebook.
- Create a checklist of visual elements to observe (stall layouts, colour palettes, lighting, crowd movement).
- During the visit, record observations:
- Make quick thumbnail sketches on site.
- Take photographs of key details, noting the exact location and time in the image metadata.
- Write brief descriptive notes beside each sketch or photo.
- After the visit, organise the material:
- Transfer all photographs to a folder “Direct – MarketName – YYYYMMDD”.
- Label each sketch and note with a reference code (e.g., DM01, DM02).
- Create a simple spreadsheet to log each file with columns for source type, date, location, and key observations.
- Analyse and compare:
- Cross‑reference direct sketches with secondary images to identify consistencies and gaps.
- Select the most compelling visual information to develop the final series of sketches.
