Here’s a few photos from my graduation exhibition

My end of year exhibition finished today so I managed to grab a few photos of my stand, plus a few of others’ work which I liked. Generally the standard throughout the show was very good, particularly from the illustration students.

Here’s a photo of my display. I managed to call a favour and get two huge banners printed, which did kind of steal the show in the multimedia room.

Another shot of my display. Being multimedia, all of the juicy stuff is on the computer, but I printed a nice A4 portfolio and had plenty of CDs and business cards on display. (I’ll reveal the business card design soon, I promise!)

This is the work of one of the illustration students, a chap called Elliott Rooney. I liked the use of colours with the black and white and somewhat abstract image.

Another illustration student, Richard Everett, produced this work. I love the use of symmetry here.

There was also a fine arts section which was… arty. Exhibits ranged from a series of fans hanging from the ceiling, to a perspex coffin filled with iron filings sat upon a sub-woofer with music being played through it (which was actually pretty cool), to a sack of powder hanging on the wall with a pile of powder underneath it.

I take everything down tomorrow and find out what my final grade is on Friday. I’ve heard through the grapevine what my grade is already, but I’ll wait until I’ve heard it from the horses mouth before I reveal it here.

Just beautiful Aaron - I’m sure your grade will be high. Thanks for sharing those other interesting examples with us as well. Makes me want to go to design school!

It looks great! I’m sure your stand really stood out in a room mostly full of buzzing PCs! ;)

I have an Art GCSE, Art A-Level, and that’s it. No Foundation grade, no Degree, and no qualifications in anything computer-related at all! ;)

I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for your grade - although remember that qualifications aren’t everything!

Randa - Why don’t you? I’ve really enjoyed the last couple of years and I’m kind of sad it’s over. Although I sure am looking forward to having some free time back.

Paul - I’m the same Paul - I left school with some decent GCSEs but then never went into further education. Served me OK for a few years but by the time I hit 24 I really regretted not studying for longer - I’d hit the glass ceiling as it were and all my friends who went to uni were starting to go places in life.

That’s why I went back to college, and all has turned good in the end. At 16 I had no idea what I wanted from life, I was too busy smoking dubious looking cigarettes, and I doubt I’d have done anything creative anyway. Now I’m older and quite clear what I want out of life and really grateful I’ve had the opportunity to go back to college.

Nice work. I like Zebra women. :)

Nice back drops, Aaron, and I too love the zebra / woman piece. Thanks for sharing these with us.

I like the pastel-coloured circles in your posters, Aaron.
Keeping my fingers crossed, though I’m sure you’ll get the highest grade possible :-)

Damn, that Ipod Flex is a great concept!
Some interesting insights. We appear to have several things in common, though I have a different taste in biscuits :)

Your presentation looks great, very slick.

this is good picture
