Design a Poster Meeting

I went into College this afternoon to meet up with Nancy, Jay and Ellie.We were there to design our Poster and decide on the text and font we would use.

It was a really good session with all of us putting forward our ideas.

We have decided to place a portion of each of our images on the bottom half of our poster, and to place a simple text on the top half. It looks pretty amazing! Our images work well together and I think that our exhibition is going to be very interesting.

We haven't made a final decision about the name of our Exhibition, but our thoughts are "Eclectic," since this afternoon I have suggested "Eclectic Mix" and put that forward on our FaceBook group page. I'm waiting to hear what everyone's opinions are. The word Eclectic is an apt name as its definition is taking ideas from a wide range of sources. We all liked this as we are a photographic collective of creative practitioners.

We discussed the theme of our exhibits, that is how we would like to display our work, and how we would frame them. We thought that it would be a good idea to search charity shops, car boot sales and auction houses for frames of all shapes and sizes, and that we would print our images after purchasing the frames. As the owner of Sprouts wants us to fill the wall with art, we thought that this would make the exhibit pleasing to view and give an appealing finished quality.

We have also decided that we will make a book of small images so that we can number each exhibit and give prices for the work. We do not want to price the individual images on the wall.

I had emailed Nula with regard to playing the harp at the Opening Night on March 1st, and to our delight she has agreed to do this. We have to discuss a budget as we will need to pay for our Posters, Flyers and Invitations, and we also intend to buy some drinks for our guests.

Lucy has set up an Invite Event page on FaceBook which we will add too in the near future.

We finished off our meeting by driving to Sprouts to view the space. I had been the only member of our group to meet visit the venue and meet Garry the owner. It was good to have a positive reaction from other group members.
