Looking At Lighting

Clamp spotlight - To Create shadows on the boards and around the exhibition.

Week 3 - Concept Theme - Shadows...

different ways of showing the logo for the exhibition

using light to how arrows

Using 3dsmax started using text and lighting to try create the effect that we want to show in the exhibition.

Busniess cards...

i did some research on busniess cards to help me come up with some inspiration for my own busniess card..

i really love the idea of this busness card because it can also be a product and something people will want to keep on them all the time...

the idea of being green being able to re-use the busniess card really intrests me..

using the idea of today lastest technology with fones the blackberry and iphones for people to upload a code you can use to scan which can take you to a site to view your cv..

Laser Cutted Busniess card

Concept Ideas For Themes...

1) Using The Lighting and Inspiration From the exhibtion i saw at the museum Createing Shadows for differnt things, for like arrows on the floor... Words..

This is an image of how i would try to use the shadows in the exhibition...

i liked this image as it is the use of shadows as well as involving the surroundings...

Using the shadows to create words and shapes using stencils mabe cutting out of card and using differnt lighting to give differnt effects..

i like the use of the txt in this image ...

2) Using ideas from the map in one of the museums to use differnt colour coding for differnt areas... mabe even differnt shades of the colour green...

Using the coloured areas to have differnt colouredareas in the exhibition

3) As most some of our projects are about sustaianble and bein green i though that it would be a good possible topic to choose...

i used an artist to give me an idea for the inspiration for the sustainability thee his name is Shigeru Ban these are some phtos of his work which are mainly used of paper, cardboard tubes and other sustaibable materials..

Week 2

I took a trip to London to quiet a few museums.. V&A.. Natural History Museum and Barbican and a few other places....

:O)

i like the typography of this sign and the way it has been set out and shows the theme in the writing..

Interactive Screens..

i like the way there are small windows lightened up it makes it makes you more curious to have a look in the windows to find out what you can see...

i took a picture of this map as it shows the flow of the exhibition and arrows where to go. also how each subject has its own coloured area...

I took quiet a few -ictures of this exhibition because i liked how evrey think in the exhibition went together even though all the statues where of different people or objects... the colours where all kept similar and also the style of the statues...
i saw a very creative exhibition which really caught my eye and i thought was the most interesting one was a shows exhibition in the V&A.... it was called shadow catchers; camera-less photography... i liked the way they used the use of light to capture different images and how something so simple can make something look really great and interesting...

Floris Neusüss, 'Untitled, (Körperfotogramm), Berlin, 1962', 1962. Collection Chistian Diener, Berlin
Still from the film 'Shadow Catchers: Camera-less Photography' (Adam Fuss)

There are many ways to create differnt types of shadows and light these are the names of the processes and techniques used: Chemigram, Digital C-print, Dye destruction print, Gelatin-silver print, Luminogram and Photogram.

In the Lesson i have started to think about how i can be creative with my CV :) and how it can show my creativity and talent to show off my work.

We also had a look at the space of where the exhibition will be taking place and took some photos to help visualize how we can use the space and change it to our theme... i will use the images in photo shop and edit them to try show the theme and how it would work in the space...
