Session Numero 2

Second session today.

We discussed locations, I was going to suggest Bambers - but then Julie had found somewhere much more suitable abd Beth suggested the PAD Gallery and Kate the Cocktail Factory - and they are all MUCH better locations - so no need!

I think the PAD Gallery would be great personally - so fingers crossed for that being possible - you can see above how good it would be.

We did some psychometric tests today too - One called a 'Belbin' test - to see how you work in a team and a Myers Briggs - just a basic version though - I think the real ones are super long. Was pretty interesting - surprisingly accurate! - I think I was a combination of 2 or 3 - but I think if you did the full version it would probably have me down to a t (is that saying 't' 'tea' or 'tee' I never know)

We also sorted out the teams of people too. I would have loved to be on installation - just to get some different experience, but everyone wanted to do that - so I am working on promotions - although debating whether that was a good idea - more work... eeek! But I think it is where my strengths lie, so I should be able to do my bit to help.

Location Location Location....

I was wandering into town the other day and almost

walked straight past Bambers of Preston.

They used to be a furniture store - and I think would fit the theme of promoting a local business in the sense they used to be one - so in a way shows the importance of promoting local independent businesses or this happens...

It has been abandoned for a while now I think. Looks like it would need a lot of cleaning up too

However i think it is certainly big enough - in fact perhaps too big. But there are a lot of us in our year - and probably could fill it. And lots of space to display the images, I hate it when exhibitions don't display the work with enough space to be able to take the work in - if it's too crowded it doesn't show the work to the best advantage.

I like the stable - esque room too - I think it would be an interesting area, for food and drink perhaps, or the work - each business with it's own section.

The brief has been set...

Our task: To put on an exhibition in Preston in February 2011, displaying our fashion photoshoots from the first project of the year.

The photo shoots were aimed at promoting local Preston businesses. My group were given the Golf Store on Marsh Lane. We played on the idea of golf terminology - green jackets, foursomes, teeing off, the dance floor, the sweet spot, and eagle. I managed to get a real life, fully grown eagle called Stella from Turbury Woods bird sanctuary on the day! She was the star of the day!

So... I will keep this updated with how things are coming along... thoughts, opinions, photos, the struggles and the successes, the tears and the laughter.

I think if we can pull it off it's going to be amazing. The photos look capital ACE!
