well, we are in businees, sold the first lot of fashion dvd's - that is a compleated project now. we had a meeting to discuss plans for over christmas, project / company roles, discussed issues involving manegement etc - all turned out ok, i think every one is abit stressed at the moment.
discussed ideas for this pitch / proposal / presentation thing what ever it is! got some cool ideas of what were going to put on the screens, but it is all very top secret!!
and finally, we all went for dinner lastnight - the compound christmas dinner! was really nice, tried not to talk about work too much, was quite relaxing really - i love those guys!! x

Last SPP before Christmas
Well, SPP today was actually really productive - by the end! during the lecture there was a massive debate, as usual, and i got really stressed, as usuall and shouted abit and put forward my p.o.v - as usual!! we basically re-organised the individual grops saying they dont need to be scared to make desision, and they are in that group for a reason blah blah blah!!
Seminar was much more productive, we had a big meeting after an initial deiscussion and ended up creating 5 small 'brak out' groups whicj include - sound, lighting, film, layout and asthetics - of course i am in asthetics, i love making things look pretty, but we have got 2 boys in it aswell so the exhibition shouldnt turn out all pink!
not doing any work for this over christmas, im enjoying myself - well in the few seconds per day im not doing PRP!!!
Untill January Spp.......... happy Christmas and goodbye!!!! xx

Getting Artey
well, these last few days have been really good as far as primary research goes for PRP. i went to this show on friday called 'Paula is a Slut' - it was really quite moving, it has an MA performing arts student, she was basically doing a performance peice that was a sale of her emotions. she had been treated badly by loads of guys and to start a fresh life she was wrapping up her memorys in a box and giving them away. not sure how it relates to my research, maybe the feminist angel of how women are looked at and viewed within society. but it was a good show, and i chatted to her afterwards, ive got her email and blog adress so i will drop her and email and some questions.
Kelly and Handcock
well, i went to angel row gallary a few weeks ago to see an on going peice of work that they are doing, which involves patteren and one of the artists is having a tatoo of wall paper done on her back. but this was a different show, i will explain more in my prpr, but it was basically i semi naked gut, laying on a peice of metal and a lady was twineing his hair into the metal so he couldnt move, very enclosed space very voyouristic - so perfect. i need to email them aswell.

1st Course Party
woooooooooo wooooooo wooooooo!!!!
Well, we did it, the party went ahead, at scream and it was great! the day started off badly with no tickets sold so Emma, Huw and myself took tickets into our seminars and basically didnt let people leave until they had brought a ticket! harsh but fair! the 3 of us then went on to give the course lecture, very scary! talking about issues that we thought had gone wrong involving structure, ideas and lack of atendence! it went well, and again, more tickets sold. by the end of the day we had sold 80 tickets, not bad.
so the night, i arived and things got kicking, me ansd patrick went on the hunt downstairs in scream to sell some more tickets, i wore a low cut top, did some flirting, and patrick took a more responsible aproach! it worked! the response was great and we ended up selling 170 tickets in the end, which raised £600 pounds for our exhibition, really good result, and a great start.
the night was loads of fun, i met loads of the 3rd years that io didnt know, did some bonding, got rather tipsy on wine, the bands were great - in general, a really good night, and for a good cause, im looking forward to the next one - but hopefully wont have the stress of helping to organize it!! xx

exhibition design
Well, today i went to the 100+ exhibition in Boddington building. it was much as i expected, a white room, very spaceious with individual stands for peoples work. it actually gave me alot of inspiration and ideas of what to do in terms of colour, layout and spacing, aswell as some tips of what NOT to do!
it was amazing to see how a simple colour scheme could be the difference between a good stand and a bad one, and the smallest of details mattered, asin, where abouts on their stand they pout their poster! of course, i was only looking at it from an asthetics point of view. below are some photos of some ideas i got from the exhibition, i especially love the stand that has alot of coloured plastic - it looked funky and modern, much the feel that i would like our exhibition to have.
i also collected alot of the students bussiness cards, not only for bussiness card inspirartion, but we also plan to advertise the exhibition on bussiness ard siz flyers, so i thought it would be good to look at the scale of objects / writinf / layout etc.
at some point, hopefully before tuesday im planning to make a creative board of all the images of the exhibition to take design ideas form. i also made a list of materials, equipment, information needed for all things exhibition related, incliding things like wood for buliding, screens, room bookings, equipmeny needed etc. so hopefully this tuesday will be more sucessfull then the last and i will actually be able to chat about EXHIBITION DESIGN!!!!
also, i sorted out the tickets for jan and sent some more emails!! the event - MILK - is going ahead on tuesday - woo woo, course bonding!!!
