Week 4

The SU Bar

This week was more of an investigation for me. i went to the Student Union Bar to confirm the location through images and with these images for me to start to draw up ideas of how to layout the exhibition and consider how work should be displayed. below are the images which where taken from the SU bar.

Week 3

This week the individual groups brainstormed ideas and possible locations for the exhibition event and potential dates which would suit the whole multimedia group. there were a vast amount ideas where the exhibition events could be held. the final decisions where to have 3 event dates in 3 different locations which would work for all members of the multimedia group. the first location was the Mezzanine on the 6th of may at Anglia Ruskin in chelmsford, this was more of a practice day where the exhibition and graphics group would get an insight into how the exhibition would look and if any changes had to be made they could be made before the next dates where potential employers would turn up.

The second date which would have invitations sent to employers and companies inviting them to come to the University and view the exhibition would be 8th of may and would be held in the Student Union Bar again at Anglia Ruskin University. this would be a full day starting from 11 am until 7:30pm giving sufficient time for companies and employers to view the individual work and portfolios on display.

The 3rd and final event dates would be the 9th and 10th of may and the location would be at basildon art gallery where companies and employers and members of the public may go and view the multimedia students portfolio work and gives the group more hope of there work being seen in different location.

Other Locations where discussed and considered but because of time issues only 3 exhibition events could be confidently completed in time for hand in of this module. but other locations consisted of High Chelmer Shopping Centre in Chelmsford town and Chelmsford Library also located in chelmsford town.

The last thing discussed today was potential group names as an identification of the exhibition and for us as students to companies and the general public. it also shows this is one big group project and creativity from all areas of media in which the media group and strong in.

Week 2

This week as a group a discussion took place on how to display work in a creative way which would be unique but also beneficial. The main idea which was agreed upon was to have a sort of art gallery display which relates to Media and is a slightly unique way of displaying varieties of students work. different things such as props and equipment had to be taken into consideration and how the gallery would display work in an efficient and effective manner.

Also potential location ideas was an issue discussed and an agreement by the group leader was to assign duties to other members of the exhibition group to investigate and enquire about potential locations for this exhibition. The individuals would go out and and view potential spaces for the exhibition and enquire whether they where free in the beginning weeks of may. (Dates to be Confirmed).

James Jackson is the Group leader for the Exhibition Group and he would be monitoring and keeping updates about the groups progress. (this was decided in week 1). once the spaces have been acquired it will be my job to visit them and take pictures to show the rest of the Media group through a social group created on Facebook. also these pictures will allow me to create rough floor plans and ideas on how the exhibition should be layer out. from this feedback will be given where a final draft of the floor plans will be drawn up sand agreed on.

Also the whole Multimedia group was given a task to come up with a group name which would be the identification of the Media group as a whole and would show the unity of the group to companies and potential employers.

Week 1

This week was the week in which groups where chosen so that individual tasks could be set to different members of the group, these individual tasks will contribute t the final exhibition day and help bring together a series of exhibition days where the whole media group can come together and display there work to potential employers and to there lecturers for interview.

The group in which i was assigned to was Exhibition which was one of 4 groups to be assigned to. this group consisted of Jamall Abdalla, Carl Larkin, Tracey Clayton , James Jackson, Alex Nicholls and Stewart Pullen. together as a group our main roles is to sort out event dates, exhibition layout, acquiring relevant props such as boards to display work, contacting relevant lecturers and staff to assist in acquiring the relevant props.

The job which was entitled to me was to exhibition design. the job basically means i need to design relevant floor plans related to the locations for the exhibition event. this will allow the group to have some sort of guideline to how work can be displayed at the exhibition, also things like how many posters can be displayed on 1 board and how much space there will be for potential employers and lecturers to move around the exhibition.

This job will require some field work so that the space can be seen and a rough guideline can be drawn up on the areas and locations chosen by the group to have the exhibition events take place.
