POSTER PRESENTATION IDEAS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In order for me to get my ideas across I began to look at the different objects and forms within the work I am intending to do. I started with the project proposal that I intend to take forward which is the Music Equipment Publication and began to look at how this equipment could translate into info graphics. Also keeping in mind the other projects I wanted an aspect of the curated exhibition space to come through in my presentation. the first idea looked at having graphics framed and using the wires that connect the equipment to show the links between projects. This idea soon moved on as the problems with expenses in buying frames that would suit the wires got in the way.

I next moved onto exploring knit through illustration as, illustration is something that I would like to improve on but for it not to become a main focus of my practice. I delved quite deep into this idea thinking about having a hanging illustrated knitted umpire and trousers. Within the knitted patterns the info-graphics and supporting images would sit. I also planned for there to be pockets in the piece so that you could pick out cigarette cards with more information on them. After a while of looking at this idea, I decided that to have the two mediums brought together, knit and collected cigarette cards was a bit confusing with too many points of focus and so moved onto just using the cigarette cards format to display my work with.

This idea went through a few stages, initially following a meeting with Clinton, I decided to make small drawers. This didn’t feel visual enough for me, it wouldn’t have the instant impact I wanted. I then looked at the way the letters were displayed in the hand written letter project from 2022 by Craig Oldham and planned to display them in a smilier way. This would give the piece movement and encourage the viewer to move around it. Next I decided I wanted the viewer to pick up the cards and feel them as you would a pack of collected cigarette cards and settled on the idea of having them on a small shelf which would draw people in. I planned to write on the walls around the display to help explain the setting without you having to get too close to the piece initially but then in wanting to know more you would have to pick up the cards and read what they said.
