construction images 2: use of Vario D7 units

construction images 1: use of dot-its

here a matrix of osram dot-its enables the public to make their own symbols and pictures - they turn on/off as you push them. They were placed by using an adobe illustrator file of circles projected on to a wall which we used as a template.

news blackout

Weds night now and the private view is on friday - would love to show you some pics but that would spoil the fun. We have all the work up and 90% of the show is ready. As usual will post some great images when the show starts..

all nighter..

Its currently 23:31 and we're still in the triangle continuing to get stuck in with true grit.
We like the curry and beer.

Mmmm!

Today was a very productive day, as we've been making these little things. They're chocolate sponge with coloured icing and sugar sprinkles. Very big thank you to Melissa's mum as she helped us a lot! She started baking at around 7.30 am and we have taken over in the later morning, finishing up at around 6 pm. I think in total there's around 300 cakes, we tried our very best and really hope you all like them! Bon appetite!

The Motion Zone

Initial layout for digital work in the show. On mouse over image it will light up like a flickering bulb and students details to appear in the space below. On click that persons work will open in a new window on the right hand side.

This is rough for now... so some notes:

- Information area to align exactly with the pods... special colours and numbers etc. Also need to add Marqee font here.
- Current thumbnail images are known to be WRONG images and will be replaced ASAP with the final correct ones which will again match up to the pod.
- Name 'The Motion Zone' just a holder... I thought it was nice and seductive sounding, but its not strictly accurate.

Aleister

print deadline today

Here's the files that went to print for the fold-out poster available during the show.

bus. cards arrive..

Thanks to hungs contacts in hong kong our bus. cards have arrived in time, cheap and looking great and £500 for 21,500 cards over 43 students is hard to beat..

poster folding/backlit pods today

Here's how to fold a B1 poster into B4 which is what will happen to our journal this year. Its being printed in a system called picaso which make the print more colourfull than cmyk. I would love to explain the process to you but everytime I type in picaso and print in google you can image what I have to wade through!


heres the photo side of the poster (click to enlarge if you want a digital momento)



aimee and pedro were first to have their pods printed today..


here's us doing some tests with the pods today, waiting for the rest of the pods to arrive along with the actual opal acrylic. We are using the printed side to display the work which is unusual but we want the images to keep vivid colour and have a more painterly-like colour, feels almost like a screenprint this way round...

seduce me looks like...

The name of the show is now seduce me and here is the sign we will be hiring for the show, these images are part of the photoshoot for the cover. This will be hung on the wall upon entry to the show. Thanks electrosign for letting us shoot these.
