Week 11

This week was to dedicated to finishing our display posters as personal profiles for the exhibition events. these posters are to display our achievements over the years at university. also to show employers our areas in which we believe we are the strongest in and have what it takes to complete work to a professional standard.

here is a copy of the poster which i created and i have sectioned it to 3 different areas which i feel comfortable in completing work to a professional standard. i have chosen Photography, 3D Modelling and Video Production which i belive are my strongest areas within media and what i believe to have done well over the years in my study.

Week 10

This week has been more related to persona profiles and the images below show the work that's been created for display at the Exhibition events.

This montage was created for the booklet which will be put next to my profile and personal description of me.

Also I have received the design for my business cards created by the Graphics Team.

Week 9

Following from the email sent 2 weeks ago there was no response. I did visit built environments but all the lecturers had already gone on easter leave. i did get help from a woman from the marconi building who did a little research for me and found out that i had contacted the wrong person  and that i needed to contact "Andrew Claiborne" who was in the same building and floor. once this information had been received i did try to contact the lecturer but failed to reach him because he was on easter leave.

once we had come back from the easter break i did manage to get a hold of the lecturer and have a verbal agreement with him about the boards and he did ask me to confirm my booking of the boards by sending him and email which is displayed bellow. 

The lecturer did agree to lend us the boards but one condition was that we were not allowed to take them off campus which gave us a minor problem because the boards were required in basildon for the weekend. this will mean that students will have to display there work on the boards provided by the art gallery which have only been seen by Project Manager Tracey.

Week 8

The Mezzanine designs where appreciated by the Media group as a whole but some feedback was that "why does it need to be so detailed if its a practice day". This comment seemed relevant which lead me to change the designs dramatically since there was no intention of much footfall.  also the boards which where planned in the first floor plan are not the ones which will be used for the final set up because they have become untraceable at the University. So these new triangular boards will have to be used used instead.

Week 7

This week there has been a little confusion about acquiring the display boards so the email below shows request sent to "Andrew Clayton" which was the original contact given to acquire the boards required for the exhibition.

i will wait for a response so that this minor issue can be resolved. but during next week i will try to visit Built Environments in the Marconi building on the 2nd floor. this is to see if i can have a 1 to 1 conversation with andrew to agree on the dates specified so that time can be saved.

Week 6

From the images taken from last week the SU Bar i have drawn up a first draft of my idea of how the SU Bar should look.

the image above shows a rough outline of the SU Bar. It was agreed the individuals work would be displayed on large boards so there is enough space to show various parts of work depending on the individual. So the floor plan has boxes to show 1 board for each member of the media group in a sort of exhibition format where space is still achieved with an art and ATOM feel to it. also there are projectors and TV monitors which could be used to show videos and on going user profiles. the projector could be used to display the web teams website where employers can interact with and get a sense of what has been created.

The image above shows a rough outline of the Mezzanine and the original idea was to make the exhibition look like an atom shape.  this could be achieved with rope barriers which would give  a more art gallery feel to it. also seeing as we are missing the projector and TV monitors which are available in the SU Bar. There are digital displays which have 3 TV monitors attached to a pole. this can be used to display student profiles and show the motion of the website working. also i was thinking there could be a walkway that leads to the display and work can be displayed in a more art type of way. also since there is lot of space in the mezzanine there could be a projector set up aswell.  one thing that would have to be taken into consideration would be that the mezzanine is a walkway for students and they will be passing by to get to classes so enough room needs to be left over so students can pass.

Week 5

Another week of investigation for me. i went to the Mezzanine to confirm the practice location and show the group the images of the potential space as agreed. these images again will also help me get an idea of how the floor is layer out so i can input my ideas on how the exhibition should be displayed. below are the images taken from the Mezzanine.
