1. Inside 2 large shops, one opposite Gregs and other where specsavers was located.
2. In the middle of high chelmer where beauty stands normally reside.
3. An Aisle, the smallest of all 3 places. Normally used by AA and Sky sellers.
We had to consider all 3 scenarios as we will not know for sure until the time is too late.
My task for this week was to carry on making paint splats (As shown in my last post) and me and John were to sketch or design what each place could look like. With all the new ideas and regulations that have to be in place.
Designs for the Lage Shops
Above is my sketch for how the shops would look, they are about the same size. So I used the shop that I have taken pictures from earlier in the project. I have shown how we will cover the walls and windows in news paper and then have our work displayed over the top. I have displayed how all the props etc must be sectioned off due to health and safety, they may also have boards explaining More information.
Basically we can use most of our initial ideas if we are allocated this space, we are allowed to put things on the floor as long as they are sectioned off and not in the walk ways. We can have elementes on the walls and pillars. This is the best situation as we are not limited to what we can do and will stick to the initial ideas.
Center of High Chelmer
For the center we will be allowed less space than the shops, but still enough to cater for all our work. As there are no walls we would have to put up boards to hold the work, we would be able to have them coming off the struts of the building in a star form. We are allowed to have the props such as the pencil and the paint splats but once again they must be sectioned off. This will very difficult to pull off as we must make sure everything is sectioned off as we would be setting up in basically a walkway. (This also means people will be less likely to stand around and look at work, which is a shame.) Also if we do use any screens etc someone must stand by them all the time making it hard to speak to anyone who has questions.
Design for the Aisle
As mentioned the Isle is the last place that we want, or could be give. However we still have to think how the work is displayed just in case the worste does happen. As you can see from the above image, bot allot is going on. If we have to set up here we simply would be allowed a few stands to put work on. We would cover these in news paper and the relative work and student photos. But we would only be able to show a fraction of the amount of work (probably one piece for each student)
We could not put anything on the floor, such as props of work. We must keep the entire area clean, unfortuanlty this would pritty much make our exhibiton look like we have made it in 10 mins and just got some old newspaper to show work. The theme will only work with props and being able to decorate an entire room to allow each piece to show off that theme. One its own newspaper will look rubbish!!
Good job Daniel. Well done for thinking about the 3 scenarios (even the worst one!). Certainly is quite frustrating to have so many options, still I think the three of them could work.
ReplyDeleteTalking about the props, I contacted the vynil cutter and he said the price would be around £35 per "splat" (around 50x50 cm size). That's the lowest price, still, it wouldn't hurt to send him an EPS of one of them with specification (CMYK) of each of the colours you want. Maybe 5 will be enough and will give you freedom of using the wherever you want without the concern of health and safety regulations. Have a think about it, talk about this with your team and let me know. See you soon.
