End Of Year Show (twothousandandblog)

June '07

w00t for a graphics based post. basically last tuesday we had a deadline to our best projects finished and on some white walls. after getting ripped off on foam board and prints it was time to show off my workz.

Well there isn’t much I can say about it until you check out my flickr. I’ve got a few pictures on there for a quick look see at my work. If only i could cut it would look slick as. anyway this is teh story.

Already mad excited about getting my work presented (sounds sad I know) awake at 5, then sleep, 6, then more sleep and then again at 8, I popped in looking to take some pictures and mount them on foam board, as I already had the rest up from the day before. I Used some blue tack and put them up nearer the window than in the pictures because I was told that was ok the night before.

I came in to find my work has been taking down and one of the “lecturers” (hes not really he just swears and gets angry when you ask him stuff) is mad for staining the walls with blue marks, at this point I know he had a reason but I was pissed off, especially when I was told we would be told where to go instead of getting to pick (something we got told before). meh.

I busted a home on, to get a memory stick for some work in progress bits for the ‘Type Poster’ , took some pictures of my poor constructed, even though not to badly designed, book and CD cover. too be honest I was going to display those but I didn’t like how i made them so printed photos in glossy was going to work well.

I then when to upload them for prints but had to go over the whole college looking for a memory card reader that could handle a 2GB card. luckily I got my hands on one and had to transfer them onto a memory stick without a mouse (2 Usb ports with 3 USB devices, one mouse, one memory card and one stick = transfer with no mouse). to be honest that was quite funny.

I got them printed and they looked sweet as on glossy paper, mounted a bunch (after finding somebody stole some of my board) and got ready to stick them up. to find out we had to use pins to hold up our work, I’ve spend over �20 on prints and foam board to find out that we had to use horrible looking pins to display. P.F.T.

After waiting to use one of the two hammers between the 15 people displaying work I got my work set up and on those walls. Was it worth it? yeh, I Just hope that next year it goes a bit more smoother.

Also I now know that those who i got pissed at where prob right but everyone in the whole department tells you something different so its hard to know what your meant to be doing. still it was fun to see my work up on teh walls.

So Yeh It Was Fun.

    “everyone in the whole department tells you something different so its hard to know what your meant to be doing”

    Very, VERY true. This gets on my nerves a great deal. But it was fun making lecturers pissed off at me because I was scowling at them (only because I was tired, and the sound of putting all my work up twice, then having to replace my name tags made me want to go play the wrist violin.)
