Hello - Darren here.

I've been thinking. Whilst it's good the majority of you want to ensure any printed matter that supports the show is excellent etc. I do think it's time to stop dithering around with the 'sexy' bits and start thinking about the main thing which is the space itself and what and how you want people to experience the show. Renata and Saskay and myself walked round the whole space the other day and it is very big and much too much for just 2 people to deal with.

If you're not careful you'll end up having great stuff to entice people to the show and great stuff for them to take away and a showitself that makes them go, "Meh..."

Personally - I'm not feeling the test a couple of posts down - I can't see what it's got to do with graphic design or the FdA - it looks like an aesthetic style that you're trying to make fit - it doesn't say anything about DIY.

You really do need to think about the work that's available to show, the projects you've done in 2nd year and the best way to show and curate it. The Research Books and Outcomes - RSC - I'm a Designer Get Me Out of Here - Dopplr - Drawing Room - Experience/Exhibition Design - Promote Me and the various real projects you're all doing this term are all great projects that are unique to the FdA and there's some really great work done for them.

You need to think of a 'dramatic' and 'wow' way to use the space and show off the work.

Sorry if this is coming across heavy - I want your show to be great. At the moment it seems like a lot of time is being wasted choosing fonts and focusing on details rather than the most important aspect - the space itself.
