End of Year Show - Vintage

Preparing the show took a lot more effort and time than I expected since the whole room had to be cleaned up and re-painted in order to look crisp enough for the private viewing. Everyone helped with this process, including myself since I came in during a weekend to help with the labels, to put the work up and add items to the back wall in order to fill out the blank spaces.

But now the show has now been up for a few weeks, and from the private and public viewings a lot of good feedback has been received.

The showroom was quite big displaying the work on chipboards and on the walls with the back wall caked in scrap pages and rough sketches and ideas, a table hosting three macs - one played music with a cycle of humours photographs of the class' trips to London and the other two showcased our websites. Along the windowsill were examples of packaging and beneath were a couple of tables with FMPs on so that they could see what a project looked like:

My favourite pieces were displayed in the show including my type and calendar posters:

FMP- Finally Finished

In the end I decided to do a cutout for each month of the calendar and through the project I thought that I had taken on too much but thankfully they were completed and I was proud of the results:

Each were vectorized and coloured on the mac. My particular favourites are Divali and St David's Day - they took the longest but were worth the hours.
 

Progression

After this course - BTEC National Diploma in Graphic Design - I will be studying Graphic Design and Advertising HND because I still have no idea to what path to go down and I feel that this provides a broad range of techniques and allows me to keep my options open for another two years. Thankfully the location is next to the college I am attending at the moment so the area will be familiar which relieves the stress of the whole situation.

Where I will go after that, I am unsure, but I am hoping that this course will help me develop my cutting skills and will help me gain a distinctive style which will fit into the market and allow me to get a good job for the future.
