Use of Osram Dot-Its in the show

For those of you who have been following our use of this innovative new product here are some photos..

How it all went!

some images of the show for you all who didnt make it down.
when we have finished paying for everything thats outstanding I will post the accounts so you can see what a show costs to put on and what details are involved.

folio display cabinet installation today..

something is arriving at chelsea...

nearly there..

just to say that lots of things are now coming together for the show, the osram lights are here for the sign, various prints are now at the printers and details are deing mulled over like how to play high definition video into the plasma, when the website goes live etc. Most of the things I would love to tell you about the actual work going into this show- I cant, because it would spoil the experience for you. This blog will include images from the opening night and what the show and its contents looked like soon.

big enough for you?

have found of these to hire at last and they are big! .. but so is the triangle space.

display case on the make

construction underway of folio display case, here are plans. Ignore the grapgics they will look much better than this. Also the pedestal is now twice the height now at 200mm. Angus Macdonald won the pitch and now is making, it features lighting underneath the shelves and under the skirt to make it lift of the ground a bit. Its also fairly thin but 5m wide!!

all things brighter and beautiful.. (sorry)

folio server - issues (click images to enlarge)

ok, we now have an agreed format for the redesign of the folio holder, it will take folios on the front (possibly backlit) and on the back will be some shelving for displaying magazines and books (lit) and the rest of the folios. The colour is up for grabs and the image on the folios here is just to show how the covers of the folios might join up as a mosaic. Each year we can alter the vinyl lettering which could be on a formica or similar surface. On the back there can be a display area for 3d objects and made books to be shown. On one diagram you can see the possible lines where a division could be made for portability although this issue is unlear at the moment. Dimensions 4.25 m wide 1.70 high plus a pedestal height of 20cm 60cm deep.

beer me - wristbands!

This has been submitted for print now and will be worn by vip's who need free drinks. We now have drinks sponsorship via Andreas and the Osram Dot-It lights are also being provided by Osram.

folios again

broadsheet catalogue (gridding up)

broadsheet is coming on, here are some ideas of the look of it with placeholder images and text for now as we await students work and the thing actually takes shape.

others..

some other thoughts here but its not there yet, gts and I are going to play with lego on thursday until we get it right. Latest thinking is combining the centerpiece with a method of showing both work and folios - nothing 'off-the-shelf' is working. In case you are just in on this we found our original round crousel fortfolio server was just too expensive to make for our budget so we are rethinking the design and purpose of it.
