Module Evaluation

In my opinion, this was one of the best modules to have. It was a combination of theory and practice.
I have never experienced making an exhibition, however always liked to visit some in London.
I think our exhibition looks very nice and interesting. I also heard some feedback from my friends coming to see our woks and being amazed with the work we have done. I was a little bit tired in the evening as we had to be in the mezzanine all day, but it was useful knowledge to know that in real life it might be even more difficult making some bigger exhibitions.

Also personal branding was very useful task. When I was 17, I was thinking about my own brand as Anna Lapo but I never had an idea how to make it properly. The tasks were very useful to define my personality and through that to choose the colours and shapes of the brand. I am happy with  my final results, however looking back to the beginning of semester, I had a totally different ideas. Now, when I see my first examples of CV I am smiling, because I find them unprofessional in a way. I think, when you go through the whole process and struggle, or have difficulties, sometimes thinking that it is impossible at all, but the final result is great, this is the real way to learn something.

I am very happy to graduate soon and especially this last semester was the most useful for me as a designer, I learnt a lot during this time and feel more confident about my future as a designer.

Monday-Exhibition!

We met in the morning as it was arranged before and moved the boards to the M. Ashcroft building. Later guys started to make them in the mezzanine while we with the girls were cutting the Pac-man floor dots with fruits and faces. It was a little bit busy day, but the exhibition worked very well. I thought it would be more people coming on monday, but probably many people are busy especially on monday. Anyway, it was a nice feeling to have an exhibition and being proud to present own works :)

Here are some pictures of our exhibition. We made the area of entertainment, set up the screen with animations. The floor looks really great. Each board has a holder for business cards, so the visitors could take the card of the designers they like. The Rubik's Cube looks absolutely amazing!

Week 11

This was the last week to have a lecture, so I continued on contacting the companies as it had to be done by the end of the week. Also we discussed what should be done for the exhibition for the last time. Later we discussed the dress code and other small details on Facebook blog, so everyone would know that we are wearing black top and everyone have to be in Marconi building at 9:30 on monday.

Also, I invited more people  for our exhibition. I was in the library and offered people to come and see what we are doing.

Week 10

Helen brought all the sweets, so we were putting them into the bags and sticking with labels.

Steve was showing us the cubes he made. As our boards are changed, we still have to contact Eliot and Olly for the floor planning to change, hopefully will be done by this week. I started to contact some companies as I got the invites today.

Group meetings

We had some meetings during the vocation where we discussed all the job which should be done in nearest opportunity. We decided to order some sweets from internet and put them to small bags sticking with pac-man lable. Helen organised all this. Also Steve said he has some comics which he could bring. Our group spoke to the graphics team about the invites and posters, it should be ready and put over the university and outside on week 10. I have to contact some companies searching for design employers and invite them.

Business Card design

This is the style of the business card, I checked with the printing service and they said I have to make sure the size is correct. I made it 55 cm x 85cm but they advised me to add some more cm as it will be cut from the sides.

The final variant is like that with correct sizes as well.

Did not see that I made a mistake in word 'design', will be changed.

CV changed variants

I changed the bubble and also the arrangement of the information. This is the variant with watermark but as I already mentioned it, I will take it off.
