Fabric draping ideas for the Exhibition entrance

Whilst deciding how to use the orange fabric for navigational purposes, the fabric roll was dropped and started to roll away. This " accident" opened further possibilities, from which came the concept of draping the fabric along the ceiling of the entrance way to Orange 11. This use would be effective even in the event of a rainy, stormy evening. The fabric could be kept in place for the week of the exhibition and wouldn't be in the way.

The walkway from Orange 11 to The Gallery will have the fabric draped between the poles

The ends of the fabric will be fringed with a purple fringing. All the lanterns will be purple and all of the fabric will be orange.

That's it!!!

Written content for the exhibition publication.

Last week we received written course and exhibition outlines from each department that will be exhibiting at the end of year "POINT" Exhibition. I was asked to reduce the information for the website. I will need to reduce it again to around 75 words per department for our main publication.

One image will be selected per department to represent the work that will be on show.

I am also working on a map of the specific area of the campus where the exhibition will take place. I am having trouble simplifying the details yet and keeping the aesthetics. I will keep working on it.

Exhibition content... written and visual

I will be working with Bec on the advertising publication for the exhibition which will take the format of an A3 Poster on one side then fold into a brochure containing specific exhibition information on the reverse.

The Exhibition class discussed the paper choices for the poster, A gloss paper would be more effective than a matt card due to the style and colours of the logo. We discussed the layout of the information and how it would be placed in this format, there are 6 square areas that would each represent one of the six groups exhibiting. Fashion, Architecture, Graphic design, Multi media, Fine Arts and Honors students. We decided that we would not have a Photography section as the photography is part of each department and can be displayed thoughout the entire exhibition.

I am currently collecting the written information from each department on what they will be exhibiting and some information about each course.

Exhibition Details

Questions to answer:

1. Why are we holding the exhibition?
2. What is our mission/vision statement? (useful to know when publicising the event)
3. Who will benefit from the event? ( students exposure to future employers, CDU and course promotion)
4. What is the budget for the event? (need to know what can be spent on printing, food and beverages, merchanise, name badges)
5. Timing... What other events will be competing for the time of the event?

Jobs to do:

• Advertising material including a two sided A3 poster/ details of event product, labels for exhibits, newspaper, website, CDU radio announcement, Off the leash interview, T.V and Cinema ads.
• Content from all departments needs to be compiled for an overview of the exhibition content.
• Graphic design space allocated needs to be designed for the exhibition, how will the space be set up, what do we need to do to make the space work for us?
