Final Show

The Final show is a showcase of all of the work completed by CDC students over the course of their foundation degree.
This year I will be taking part.
In todays session as a year group we sat and decided how we would like to present our work and what work needs to be done to be ready on time.
As a group we have decided to showcase our studies with three computers, the computers will all share the same computer system and will allow visitors to the show to browse through all of our works.
We will also be requiring a large board each to showcase print based work, these boards will stand behind the computers and will hopefully attract attention therefore we will all be using our brightest, boldest works.
Due to the computers been on a desk this creates the opportunity to have an area to leave business cards and postcards which will hopefully be picked up by guests to the show.

Proposed programs for the computer system:
* Power Point
* Presi.com
* Adobe Flash
* Adobe presenter 7

through looking at all of these systems we decided that presi and powerpoint where to basic and that we should use Adobe Presenter 7 due to it almost combing Adobe Flash.


Due to the computer system needing a selection of all our works we have split ourselves into groups to create a smoother and easier process.
Rich will be creating the computer system,
Chris and I will be creating promotional material such as posters, postcards and business cards.
I will also be in charge of print based works, this means that I will have to organize works to be printed and mounted onto the display boards.

All members of the group will be choosing a minimum of 4 selected works for the presentation system (computers) and will be sending them to Rich with captions and possible text.

All members will be emailing me their works which they want upon the display boards, so that I can sort them for printing.


My Chosen works for screen based presentation:
* Photo story - digital ghosts
* Title Sequence
* My Video Diary 3d - including 3d webcam attatchment
* Website Designs?
* Linear project - Stop animation Ballerina.
* Online Portfolio

* A Level Art show - video outcome (poss when finished)



My Chosen works for print based presentation: (presentation boards)
*Photography - butterflies
* Packaging (sweetshop)
* Logo Designs (sweetshop, video diary,)
* Illustrator work
* 2d bar coding -link to online portfolio
* I phone app designs?
* webcam game designs - in dvd cases? - attach to board.

We have also decided to have a second table which will display our A3 portfolios.
-we may also be creating miniatures of these as brochures which people can take away.



Due to some of our work been threaded live from Photosynth - a microsoft only program we will have to use PC's as computers instead of Imac's which would have looked better from an aesthetic point of view.


So that we can all stay in contact out of college we will be creating a Facebook group which only people relevant to the project can join and view content so that we have a communication device which shows our design process.

Equiptment needed:
3 Pc's (1f088??)
3 presentation boards (one each)
2 Tables - one for A3 folders the other for computers

Printing

3d webcam

My tasks:
* Correcting spellings in my A3 folder and re printing them,
* Desiging a poster to attract visitors to the event
* Creating a presentation system for the computers
* Designing a business card/postcard for people to take away.
* Designing a brouchure for people to take away

I have decided to create my brouchure in PDF which will allow me to create direct links to some of my websites and to my online portfolio as alot of my works are screen based, this means that they will most likely be given away on disks.
Because I will have DVD's for people to take away I will present the disk cover itself (not box cover) as a business card displaying a piece of my design work and my name and contact details.
Because I am giving away a disk I will also be creating a small disclaimer in a seperate PDF document which will protect me from law suits if someone comes across an infected link.

Budgeting
Because I will be creating DVD brouchures and disk covers I will need to look into budgeting for this. Not everyone will want to take away a business card or a disk therefore I will not be making one for every visitor as it will become expensive.
Because of this I will also create a small business card with my name and website address to my online portfolio, the card will also feature a piece of design work. This means my DVD's will be avaliable on a first come serve basis.
DVD Price - Tesco 70p for 5 single disks without jewel cases.
Sticker Price - pound land - £1 for 30 disk covers.
Printing costs - 10p per sheet (two disk covers per sheet =10p for two disks)

These are the best value products and are ideal as they will only be holding a pdf brouchure.
