Exhibition News with poster/flyer

Rules for the Data Projector

The discussion for this item of equipment took over an hour as they were at first reluctant to allow our group to have this equipment.

The last data projector which was loaned out got stolen and they never received any monies to obtain another. The offending parties did not offer or insure the item of equipment therefore people like us could have lost out.

At the moment I do not have any knowledge on how this equipment works other than it is for wall displays therefore to elimate confusion on the day for setting up the piece of equipment I will need two more people (around the mid April) to test this equipmemt out and get the distances right for projection also if Tom is free I will also ask for his assistance.

If the distances are not correct then the display will be pants!

On each day of the exhibition a person MUST NOT leave the projectors side and therefore will be fully responsible for the timetabled (showing) of group work. (IT CANNOT BE LEFT).


It is possible that we need to aquire a piece of MFI or similar which is then painted white to fix to the wall because if we have the large shop it is possible that the panels may destroy the look. Whereby if it is the smaller shop the walls are darker so the board would be needed as a contingency measure.

In saying this it is possible that I might have a rollup white screen in the house which when things calm down I will search for this item.



Need to Discuss Logically

It is good that the team managers got together and discussed whatever they were discussing but I for one do not know what the next agenda is or indeed what other than grouping the work has been decided.

I feel it is imperative that everyone knows an agenda for each week within all teams.


A timetable is required for everyone from the closure and cleanup of the exhibition back to current day. I feel at the moment there is no structure and instead of a tight knitted professional exhibition we will end up displaying bits and pieces which to other professionals will glare out problems within our infra structure! Sorry but I felt that this needed to be said!



Groups

Guys you have all done well to define the groups but what are they exactly?

When displaying the animations it is unfeasible to do them one at at time. They need to be edited into a long video so each group for example 3D is amalgated into one film this will then ensure that we get a constant run of information. I do not feel it would be professional to do each section ie 3D
SAVS, MIKE, TOM as seperate entities these 3 (IF ITS ALL THE 3D GROUP NEED TO BE EDITED INTO ONE SITTING)

CV and Business Card

My last try at my CV





Business Card Changed
Front of business card

The hand signifies help is available and the rays emitting from the hand leads the reader to my role and my contact details. The back of the card remains the same.
The pyramid signifies the pyramid of learning and the ray at the top relates to achievement.


Back Of Business Card


The pig picture has been changed for the exhibition but to be honest I don't know which out of the two to pick. They have been changed so that all my images are shown in landscape and keep to similar colour schemes.

The film strip is to signify that the finished product resulted in a video!

Some other Business Card Designs
This card design is surrounded by the 'hands symbol for success".
Front Card

Back of Card


Front of the Card

The design for this card is for people who have an instant answer. The services offered are printed in the head on both sides of the card so the owner can instantly see if I have the skills required for the task they are pursuing.

The head relates to the term 'Mindset' which if I wanted to go it alone I would call my business.


Having the skill information on both sides allows for one side of the card wearing away where it comes in and out of a pocket.




Front of card

The tulip is known as a sign of success hence the tulips.




Back of the card

Three is also classed as being luck so with both these elements all projects should be successful!

Card background changed with hand and pyramid of training enlarged

Interesting exhibitions

Exhibitions Visited

The first exhibition was the 'Military Museum" in Maldon a fantastic place which has only been open 5 years. The whole collection is owned by one man.

Creative Designs

This museum was the best I have ever visited because it had something for everybody.

Although certain pieces were very old they were displayed with very clean cut lines and the lighting had been strategically placed.

Frames were done in a variety of wood which did not take any beauty away from the exhibit.

The use of material behind the figures had been tastfully done and provided a rich look.

The textual descriptions were brilliant and very easy to read.

Tables were placed in various locations and did not look out of place.

The isolated chair was an innotative idea but I felt it was the wrong type of chair.

All signposted requests had the same background so the visitor could realise that these were the rules for the museum.

Many of the collective pieces told a story and were very informative.

The large free standing exhibits such as the bombs were securely fasten to the wall not only as a deterrent against theft but also I would assume for health and safety.

Newspapers, Diaries, Posters were all part of a creative collection of exhibits.

The boat had pillars and ropes to prevent entry as did the mines.

The place was extremley clean and a pleasure to walk around and for once it was kept at a temperature which did not make me feel as if my head was going to explode.

Staff were helpful and polite and showed a keen interest when asked questions.

There were a few items like masks that children could try on.

Foam fire extinquishers were present in inobstrusive areas and looked well maintained.

Fire exit door was uncluttered and would allow free access.

Easy to see fire exit signs around the museum.

Walls were enhanced by creative display of lances, swords and the right weight of armour all enhanced by wood cladding.

Reception would allow a fair percentage of people to concrecate without suffocating.

The only down side unless I did not notice the lifts is disabled people would only manage to look at the ground floor because access to the 1st and 2nd floor was by metal stairways. Ramps possible for the first floor but would not be possible for the second floor unless they were staggered levels of ramp as the stairs to the second floor were fairly steep.

People could also order beverages and eats if they so desired.

An innotive display of a man in the first world war trenches - display was placed in a recess and made it look almost 3D.

























































The second exhibition was the 'Hyletts Gallery in Maldon', this was chosen so I could get an idea of limited budget and small rooms. The use of colour surrounding the images gave them depth and almost asked you to walk in and investigate more closely. The Pastel colours really worked with very well placed directional light.

The rooms were small but the colour and placement of work made the room light airy with good height and depth.



Some of the exhibits I saw and really liked are the following:



















Although the artists below are well recognised they provide the public with an exciting array of messages which have been enhanced greatly by their pure presenation skills.

Bansky also Appeals

The next image is called "Elephant in the Room" which was one of Bansky's themes. Nobody can say he is boring. The work is appealing, he is his own person and is quite unique. Comapred to the elephant the car or bike idea appears to be quite normal.





Pieces by Shilpa Gupta



It would be fabulous for each member when the theme is chosen to create one poster which could be used either as a window hanging or wall hanging.

This lady is a wizard with all types of digital media and is known for her themes being enlightening, informative and fun.

It is a simple idea but shows true professionalism.
