Uni Exhibition

At the end of this academic year, my course is holding an exhibition of every student's work. We need to agree on a theme. A couple have been suggested but not much thought has gone into it yet, so we've all been asked to slap an idea in a blog post. So here's mine:

I've been shopping around for a new PC system for a little while now, and the experience has inspired this idea. As prospective multimedia professionals we need to advertise our skills, experience, personality etc, so I think we could employ that exact metaphor - a series of adverts. As there's a strong digital focus to our work we could theme the exhibition like a technology company's, or high street technology shop's summer sale. With big, bold, colourful signage like this:



We could promote our skills and various details on old-school, mock-up software or hardware boxes. (I say old school as little comes in boxes off shelves any more). Boxes like this:


We would obviously decide on a more restricted colour pallatte than these specific colours, but you get the idea. Big, bright, 'shouty', print advertising. Almost over-selling our stuff possibly, but done in a professional way, not tacky!
