Project Space - Launch night plan

I have had a series of very good meetings with many people today (thank you all) and currently we are working towards the following:

• 2 x Screen printing work stations (on one table)
• 2 x Theromcromatic ink (ink that will react to heat) work stations (on one table)
• 2 x Puff Binder (white ink that 'puffs up' with heat) work stations (on one table)
• 1 x Heat Press to work with Puff Binder
  (this will need a power socket near by)
• 1 x Conductive ink pens (with LED lights and batteries) table
• 1 x Letterpress with the Adana Press table
• 1 x Foil block printing to put title of Exhibition on the 'goody bags' table
  (this will need a power socket near by)
• 2 x Lino press workstations using lazercut lino  (one one table)
• 1 x Blind embossing table
• 2 x 'A' Frame 'washing lines' using pins and bull dog clips
• 2 x Display tables for 'Papersmith' and stationary

 11 tables in total, plus

1 x film 'Bright Red' made by 'Made Thought' will be showing.
1 x film documentary of the work the students have done to put this together.

The printed items need a theme for them to all 'work together' in the goody bag and students are identifying 'clever' typographic words to use. 

There will be 2 FPI graduates who have been working with Liz, helping on the night.
Urjuan, Laura and Mika will also be running work stations in addition to the curation team.
We will hopefully have 17 - 20 'runners' from the first year to help.

Tabletops will need to be covered in white paper and students are designing vinyl to be printed to go on top and help 'label' the tables.

T- Shirts with the same design will hopefully be printed to provide a clear identity for the students and staff involved in the exhibition.

The large title on display in the Link Gallery windows will be replicated in the Project Space as well for Launch night.

Jake Petre.

    Aim of the meeting:

To update position of all collateral for the exhibition; and progress the printed + digital invite to print.

·      Bec will calculate the amount of yellow vinyl tape needed to use for the way finding. Blue tape has been experimented with in the Link Gallery already to test.

·      I will chase Vanessa to get the copy for each case.

·       We will need to confirm vinyl details of costs, colours etc with Richard

·      Making tables layout has been designed by the students to have colour and labels as the ‘table cloth’.

·      John Harris has moved groups from C to A, to help with the documentation etc with Jason.

·      Amalie is not working on this project now due to other commitments.
- CORRECTION - Amalie is still part of the team.

    In attendance for meeting no 2:

Sallyanne, Rose, Richard Hylton.

Aim of the meeting:

To update Richard on the progress.

·      Vinyl copy (Introduction text and acknowledgements) – Urjuan needs 2 weeks min. to design and set the copy in collaboration with students. Cromatec will cut and install the vinyl and we will need to identify the colours available. Richard will cover these costs. Deadline 12^th Sept.

·      Labels/cations per case – Sallyanne to chase Vanessa for copy and keep it to a min. These can be cut in vinyl.

·      Marketing contact is Andy Blaire (Head of Marketing), to arrange press cover.

·      Lanyards needed for students on Opening Night – Sallyanne to investigate.

·      Copy amended for the Invite – students given it to incorporate into the design.

·      Richard has a web site we can add the invite and making films to when ready.

·      Digital invite can be sent out by Richard, via Amy Owens.

·      Students (Group B & C) need to have the floor plan completed with clear indication of where the cabinets etc go. Identify lighting and painting.  Deadline 12^th Sept.

·      Richard would be very supportive of painted colour on walls as part of the design.

Report from the meeting:

Next meeting Thursday 29th May

Next meeting is Thursday 29th May at 11am in room 201.

Hopefully you will have lots of ideas in your workbooks about the different collateral items you are busy working on.

The main thing is we all need to agree the over arching identity of the Show - so those working in Groups B and C will need:

• to show all their ideas
• edit them down and critically evaluate/reduce the ideas into three options
