GDCOMM 2009 ShowBlog

Ideas and research for the Chelsea College of Art & Design Graphic Design Communication BA show in London (June 2009)


1. julia has beer sponsorship secured 3-400 bottles michelob

2. need to contact paul re. ramos pintos again or another spirit/mixer
3.
sponsorship investigation needed (sniff out new sponsors for what?) in kind not cash. Palm pre launch - can we get some mobile phone/data screen hardware for the wall?
4.
post a collection of images to link to in future if needed.
5.
sponsorship julia and chris to follow up and perhaps oliver.
6.
photoshoot needs to be done early in first few weeks of term miranda/bryony/alex/oliver will be looking at this.
7.
folios need to be cheaper this year, trip to folders galore being planned to investigate further but a4 wide is good.
8.
usb sticks - were they a useful last year? david to go on facebook and check to see if last years students used them much. 2 types: ones with websites on and showreels plus ones given to students who can add their own data on top. poss. key ring tie-in. L2 did copying in a couple of hours last week. group is pro usb sticks so far.
9.
sponsors we like.. lego pantone uniqulo
10.
same business cards. good price, local supplier, good quality dont change but we need something for the back - oliver suggests a pntone colour?
11.
balloons: normal and weather ballons suggestion.. if you pumped up many weather white balloons could they diffuse the lights in the triangle? - other colours too - black?



12. discussion on how to use l3, usual needs plus we possibly need a promotion strategy for the website and follow up on getting online/usb student folios in front of those with the ability to employ.
13.
olivers dad is looking at prices for a small format full colour look book of student work and images - much looser than before - group discussed through options with this and is happy to support an investigation into oliver's fmp being to create this and funded by the students as long as representation of student work is fair. ongoing...based on price of quotes to come.
14.
feedback from blog flick thru.. scopitone is interesting, portable cinema (gts suggested a container based cinema in parade ground but group dont see benefit over a room in the college athough they thought it was a fun idea). david suggested a panoramic show with a central viewing area (post to follow explaining). Zoning with curtains or blinds - good but will we be having projection in show? this is why we would need it. Zoning through geometric shapes ie. very light structures which can suggest boundaries - gts found, we need to test these in a model to see. Blinds (vertical) can also take colour and graphics.
15.
newspaper grippers (link) - could they be adapted as folios for the show - perhaps mounted into holes in the wall? something to look into.




16. group started to pool together themes that were worth keeping.. mood board or similar post coming.. quick list light theme, use of light key, the work is the colour everything else is neutral, un-imposing, reflective, but not bold and colourful. immersive, monochrome, interactive, shiny black, also liked scifi clean white spaces well lit, moloko milk bar (kubrick) xelor (these last are recent additions so don't take it that these are major influences).
17. bar to go at end of show not the start.
18.
logo boards - perhaps not
19.
tried tiltviewer again - still good possible to put on a touchscreen?
