Pitching the theme....

On the 18th of Feb the groups had an oppertunity to present their ideas to to the class and the tutor.

Rich, Sean and myself pitched the Underground theme with a presentation we had created in Powerpoint.

We had themed the individual slides with the an underground logo and added imformation about the history of the underground, colour palettes and why we felt it would suit our exhibition.

Here are a few of the 13 slides we presented:

Title slide....

Evolution of underground map showing how graphic designers looked at creating a schematic that was easy to follow from the original geographical style layout maps.....

The colours would be play a key role in our theme as they are heavily used on the undergound to designate the individual tubelines.....

We also wanted to include a brief costing as this would be a major factor in what could realistically be achieved......

The other groups pitched these themes:

A theme based on an exhibition entitled Shadows where images were created with clever use of lighting. The group were unsure about whether lighting could be used in this way in the well lit mezzanine exhibition area.

An I-Exhibition theme that used clean lines and white surfaces inspired by Apple products. In this case the group felt that although the concept was professional and suited our graphic design background it may be a little too expensive to create the props and stands in this fashion.

When the presentations were over the group gave constructive feedback and votes were taken to find the groups favourite. We were pleased to find our theme was chosen.
