Hey Guys,

In order to make desicions about the format and style of our degree show cataloque, Steve needs images of our work to play around with.

He needs 4/5 images, preferably in black and white (if they are in colour just send them as they are) of your work.

They are not necessarily final but will be usefull in giving steve an idea of what kind of work you do/have done and seeing how it looks on a page.

He also needs 100 words about you, that sums up your work or who you are. This can be anything!! Again, these can be changed at a later date if required.

The images should preferably be 300 d.p.i and saved in TIF format.

Steve needs these by 9th APRIL AT THE LATEST. Please try and send your images as soon as possible to that Steve can get started.

Thanks,Sarah x x

‘On the Fence’

Interdisciplinary Degree Show

External Show Context

To act as a promotion event for the LCAD Degree Show

To raise awareness of Interdisciplinary Art and Design Practice outside of college context

Provide opportunities for students whose work requires audience participation, involvement and play

A professional group project with relevant roles, a good practice for ‘life after Interdisciplinary’ such as managerial, organizing, designer, promoter, venue organizer roles.

Target a different audience

Presenting professional identity in the city outside of college

Design Team

Catalogue
Design Team met up with Graphic Designer Steve Wikeley who has volunteered to assist with the design and typography of the catalogue. Team concluded that the catalogue has to reflect the innovative and creative nature of the course, so we wanted to think outside the traditional book/catalogue format.
Current idea is to run with the concept ‘Fence’ and make a consitina fold out, which will appear like a fence. Each ‘fence post’ is one person’s section, which will contain images and text. Black and white.

Logo
Idea: Cut out words ‘On the Fence’ with light shining through to create letter shadows.
Still to be designed.

Posters, leaflets and catalogue must have the same aesthetic

New Role-Evaluation Team

Rose, Helen and Kate H
This team will oversee the entire group and feeds back to the appropriate teams when they identify anything going wrong or missing. The evaluation team has no vested interest in each of the groups- only an eye on the whole picture. This should relieve stress and pressures. Further details on the way…
