Exposition - Poster Plan

I am wanting to have 4 different posters showcasing my project. I have decided to show the Hotel Hallway and the Asylum hallway as this shows two completely different environments which are quite similar. This will hopefully spark some interest into what my final piece actually is. I also want a picture of the bedroom and a picture of the lobotomy scene. Again, these show the two different environments and I also believe - visually - they are the best and most interesting.

Rough Poster Ideas

Poster's 1 & 2 - Rough

Poster's 3 & 4 - Rough

Personal Notes

These are my rough idea for posters. Like the rest of the exposition I will sort this out after my hand ins. I plan on visiting the print shop sometime this week or early next week in order to find out some more specific details. I hope to get my prints ordered on Friday 1st May (Maybe the Thursday - ahead of business cards). These will probably require the most time for completion. At the moment my main concern is my portfolio and dissertation.

Exposition Research - Research & Plan

I had a look at last years expositions so have a good idea of what is expected. I have used them as examples to plan what I want.

Past Examples
Looking at these I planned my own one. I am wanting to have 4 large images representing my final piece on my board. I will also have a personal statement, explaining what I have been doing. If there is more room I will write a little more - for those who are interested.

Exposition - Rough Plan
As you can see, I want to have the four posters set up as followed. Two of them will be quite low down but this should not be an issue. The personal statement will be at a suitable eye level for easy reading. If there is space next to the personal statement, I will use this to perhaps write more information on the year I have had.

Exposition Research - Business Cards

I have been looking into what needs to be sorted for our degree showcase. An important aspect is having business cards that we can use to hand out to potential employers or at the very least - get our name out there. I will be designing and ordering my business cards after I have handed in my work. This is to allow me time to focus on the work, hand it in and then focus on setting up for the showcase. There is plenty time between hand ins and the showcase for me to organize and set up what is required.

Business Card Examples

Last year I attended the showcase and picked up many of my friends business cards. I will be looking at these for ideas when it comes to designing mine. Many of the artists have used their own actual art for the cover of the card. This is something I may consider if there is an aspect of my final piece I think will be suitable for it.

Business Card Information

  • Name
  • What I do - 3D Environment artist
  • email
  • mobile number
  • linkedIn address
  • HEAR address

Personal Notes


I have noticed from these example cards how clear the names are. This is important in order to catch the eye. Once I had my dissertation on Wednesday the 29th, I will spend Thursday 30th, designing and ordering my business cards. This gives plenty of time for them to arrive before 8th May.
