Exhibition - finished

23/06/2011 13:55 By Unknown , In




I'm really impressed with my exhibition, because of the boards it makes sense to other people, as they can see how I came to make these t-shirts and why. I think that using a corridor rather than boards in the exhibition room works a lot better too, as I had more room to space it out so that it looked professional and clean.

The exhibition is coming together

20/06/2011 18:20 By Unknown , In






I am now using one wall, as other art students had run out of space and needed my other wall. My frames and foam boards are in place, I need to number my foam boards and make hooks for my t-shirts to hang off on wooden coat-hangers.

Exhibition space

16/06/2011 16:36 By Unknown , In ,

I have been given a corridor to display my work in for the exhibition, I have two large walls.





After speaking to my tutors, I have decided to display my photographs on one wall, with the relevant t-shirt in between on a hook. On the opposite wall I have been given foam boards to create a big display about my development process. I also want to show my blog on an iMac, but it depends whether or not there is room within the corridor. This will make sure that my piece makes sense to everyone, they will be able to see how I came up with the idea, the problems that arose and how I ended up with my final piece.

I now need to decide what I will include on the wall and how to display it. I think I would like it to look quite precise and professional as my actual exhibition is clean and professional looking, this would make all of my work tie in to each other.

Photo Frames and Prints

08/06/2011 19:08 By Unknown , In

I want my exhibition to look clean and professional and so I looked for photographs of other art/design/photography exhibitions to get some ideas of how to frame my photographs. I want my prints to look this way, a black frame with a white mount.


I've been searching through websites to try and find the cheapest possible photo frames to make sure that my exhibition looks the way I want it to.


I've found many frames but this is the cheapest, and it comes with a mount too, which is perfect. I will be buying these frames this weekend and once I know the size of the photo space, I can order my prints straight away. This way, I will have my prints by the time I have painted the space for my exhibition.

I have also been looking at the price of prints and although I thought I had found a good price, I have found another website that I could use, but it depends on the size of the frame.

If the size of the frame will fit a 15"x10" print, I only need to pay £3.99 per photograph.

Exhibition

03/06/2011 13:07 By Unknown , In

I have been working out what size photographs to get printed for my exhibition, I worked out that if I have a 5inch gap between each photo, I can have them printed up to 24inches (height).
After looking at printing prices, I've found that this website seems to be the cheapest:
http://www.photobox.co.uk/shop/wall-decor/poster-prints

I'm thinking of printing mine in either 16x12 or 18x12, as I think this is more affordable and the size is fine too as I need to print 4 photographs.

Coming to an end

02/06/2011 15:49 By Unknown , In ,

My FMP is soon due in and I'm almost done, whilst we have been off for the week I have managed to get in touch with the models I wanted to use for my final photographs and they are turning out how I would like them to so far. I have taken two so far and will be taking the final two this weekend, I then need to edit the final two and write my evaluation for this project.



In my evaluation I will talk about my journey towards this point, and all of the problems and mistakes I have had and how I've overcome them. 
Once everything is handed in, we will begin planning properly for our exhibitions, this means that I need to start looking at places to print my photographs, how big I can print them to fit the space I will be given, and where to get photo-frames from. I also need to figure out whether or not I will have space for my t-shirts in the space. I want my exhibition to look clean, polished and professional and so I have quite a bit of work to make sure I achieve it.

Making the t-shirts

23/05/2011 21:03 By Unknown

I decided that the easiest, quickest and cheapest way would be for me to use transfer paper to make my t-shirts.



I'm actually quite surprised at the results, I'm really happy with the way the t-shirts look, and they look like a collection too. 
Over the next couple of days I'm going to do some test shots with one of my models so that I can choose a location. In the spring bank holiday I plan to take all of my shoots with the models wearing my t-shirts, this is a great time to get hold of my models as one of them go to school and so she will be free all week.
