Today we were given the brief of this module and put into groups of 4 or 5 depending on the number of students.
We are required to produce an exhibition of our own work and design the theme of the exhibition, which is to be held in an empty unit in the Chelmsford shopping centre.
Our group got to work straight away by putting all our ideas into a mind map. What we came up with is listed below.
Invitees
- Local Newspapers
- Local design agencies
- Local Radio
- The general public
Advertising
- Website
- Free Ads - Local Newspaper
- Radio
- Mail Outs
- Flyer's
- Stickers
Themes
1 : "Behind Closed Doors" (Kyles idea)Various sized doors, some on floor, some have nothing behind them
2: "Anti-Gallery"
No White walls, work not straight
3: "APOCALYPTIC" (Kyle and his mate)
A destroyed environment.
4: Recycled Materials (to support the apocalyptic theme) (Teresa's Idea)
The following was an amalgamation of ideas through the group discussion:
The Apocalyptic theme was instantly popular within our group, so we decided to research this idea further, and I think we have come up with some very powerful and unique ideas.
Various ideas to support the chosen theme:
• Graffiti on walls
• A Burnt out car! (with Police tape around it to prevent the public from touching it)
• Hazard tape around each individual exhibition
• A bent street lamp (to light the room)
• A burning skyline (painted/printed onto material then stuck on the wall)
• Using recycled objects to save money (serving drinks from a Jerry Can, using coffee jars as cups) - cheap and effective
• Victim's chalk outline on the floor (adds to the scene and easy to clean off)

Hi Teresa,
ReplyDeleteReally glad you're making research about the specific topic you decided for your exhibition. Still, I believe the other two concepts are really interesting and strong. Don't forget to work on them, cause you'll have to present them all to the class and it will be a shame not to give this other two themes a chance. Also, please attach the work you have done on your CV. It will be consider in your final marking. You don't have to put all of it, but start talking about the ideas you have to make an interesting presentation of your CV (logo, colours, format, type, information, etc.)Also, I haven't seen any decision making related to the WORK you want to exhibit. Don't forget you will also have to mention it in your presentation next week. See you soon.
