Exhibition catalogue which uses postcards instead of a book. The cards include images as well as information about the artists.

Signage



Type info is contained within image (click to see large).

Subject to funds, I may produce these with coloured type which may allow a colour coding system for individual photographers (the current plan will involve two other photographers alongside my own work).

This is based on the identity system shown in the previous blog entry which will be used throughout the exhibition graphics.

Exhibition catalogues... from google

One thing I may produce is a catalogue of the exhibition, however it requires further study before I draw up any plans...

Google has a few results, but nothing particularly eye catching, here's some of the better examples....


I do like fold out stuff... also perhaps cheaper to produce.

St Phillips Church - recon trip - crypt

The most interesting part of the church for me was crypt below the church, an impressive and somewhat forgotten vaulted space. Unfortunately the main issues are mounting work and a limited part of it has lighting as well as accessibility.

One of the alcoves, the door at the end leads to a dark area.


Looking down the 'central corridor' of the crypt. Alcoves branch off either side.


Coat hangars, perhaps I could hang images from these?


Typical alcove, full of items. Perhaps these could be used to mount stuff?


Access

St Phillips Church - recon trip - other areas

The church also has places lesser seen by the public such as the clock tower stairwell. This is one potential location for exhibiting work as there are more blank walls and relates to the 'unseen' theme of the work.



St Phillips Church - recon trip - main area

Today I went to visit St Phillips Church in Salford, which has been kindly offered as a potential location for the exhibition. The main congregation area is quite expansive and busy, with limited places to place work without intruding on services or other events which take place here.

The upper level has most potential as there are more blank spaces on the walls to place images.


General views of the lower level.



Lower level pillar, one potential place for placing items.

poster concept




Considering the cost limitations and nature of the exhibition, the poster design is primarily a black space with the logo and text confined to the top left corner. This makes a point of the darkness and mystery while being cheaper to mass produce then using photographic images. The design could be produced through numerous techniques from professional digital printing, screen print and even photocopy.

Amendments to the original logo concept, based on Thursday's feedback

More logo ideas....

Colour scheme



As suggested previously, the colour scheme will try to reflect the darkness and intense light in the photography. Considering the cost limitations with regards to printing, a cost effective solution for this would be to use photocopying with coloured papers.

Note - the type and typeface is conceptual at this stage.

exhibition promotion



Not that a adshel is feasible for what I plan on doing, but here is an example of exhibition promotion in Manchester city centre.

Logo ideas



In the logo design I wanted to get across the relation between light and the camera. In these I've combined the aperture blades of a modern camera lens and the 'flaring' of light sources when directly in view in a photo.

The pink one on a grey background is a concept colour scheme.
