This evening has seen the purchasing of display folders, bluetack and a table cloth for the exhibition. Given the recent ‘branding’ of myself it seemed only prudent to incorporate this into the exhibition space concepts. The A4 pages at the sides of the boards are in fact display folders and will be on the table in front rather than on the wall.
They are just to give an idea about branding.

The exhibition space is an important part of presenting the work. A bad idea can be perceived as a ‘fair’ idea if it is presented with very good graphics and layout. So by that logic a pretty good idea could be perceived as a great idea.
Last year each student was given two large boards about 3m x 1m each on which to display their work.
As such there has been some illustration and concepts about what the exhibition space will be like for the three projects there are to exhibit.
RSA – 4 x A3 boards, 1 x A4 board
Collaborative – 4 x A3 boards, 1 x A4 board
Final Major Project – 6 x A3 boards, 4 x A4 boards
Read on for a concept for the presentation of the exhibition area. It consists of the two large boards, papered in white with the project boards stuck to them. Read more…

Yesterday everyone presented for a formative assessment. What made this different fom normal was the fact that the work was graded as if it was the final summative presentation instead of giving an indicative grade as if the work continued in its current direction.
The presentation was helpful and provided valueable feedback about what to concentrate on and what to avoid.
The project is about photo sharing. The best ways to do it and what areas need to be addressed. The presentation uses Flickr as a base for example and comparison but the principles and concepts that come out of this will hopefully be able to be used by any sharing site.
More presentation slides to follow. Read more…

There is a presentation on Monday for the final major project and I have been trying to decide how to represent it and display it. Below is a concept, each being an A3 sheet (A4 may do) showing the ‘life of a photo’ from being taken to being viewed, shown from three distinct user perspectives. The Hobbyist, the professional and the happy snapper. They are based on real people and their general workflow.
The aim is to create something that makes the process more seamless, or make the experience better for a specific user group. There may not be one BIG idea that does this, maybe there are a few smaller ideas that can be used to create the same effect. Only more research will tell which steps need to be improved or perhaps more importantly, which steps can be removed. Read more…
