Initial Ideas

The initial ideas for our exhibition we split into 2 groups to each come up with an idea.

IDEA 1 - EOM 
The first idea for our exhibition branding was to call the exhibition EOM (Emulsion over Mesh). This idea looked at the process of screen printing and uses bright blocks of colour. These blocks would overlay each other - like the way layers of ink are used in screen printing. This idea also reminded us of a mosaic - linking into the college.
For initial experimentation we rolled different colour inks onto folded paper and overlaying them to create blocks. Then digitally we overlaid text to mock up a quick idea for a flyer. The folds of the paper could be unfolded to leave a blank space on the flier to contain all the important information (name/time/date/venue etc).

IDEA 2 - MESH

Our second idea was 'Mesh' based on the mesh from screens used in screen printing. We found some discarded mesh which was discoloured into a red/brown rust colour and we could clearly see the little squares made by the grid of the mesh. We thought these elements may be fun to play with. For initial experimentation we played around with way finding and signage using mesh and exploring how light shines through mesh. The following developments were really cool, especially when we added numbers to create more of a way finding concept.
