Examples of Exhibition posters. This is the sort of quality that Im looking for. We need to promote the quality of work that is on offer from the CDU students.

For the designs of the posters I was thinking that we could incorporate a number of images from all design areas into one.

I have spoken to some of the architecture students and have got some good ideas from them and what they would like to see in the Branding. Something clean and has to be broad to cover all areas of design. Maybe something to do with evolving and adapting. The poster should all have a similar basic outlay. Which means all the information will be the same and in the same positions.

A cool idea that i like is at the bottom of the poster if we have the names of the areas of study area in a row.

E.G. ARCHITECTURE + MUSIC + GRAPHIC DESIGN + MULTIMEDIA + FINE ARTS

This poster would have a graphic design image on it. This would be done for each area and the relevant image would be shown.

This video is an example that the exhibition does not all have to be held indoors. The video is of an exhibition in London called the cans festival. It is an exhibition of stencil and street artist in London. Some big names like Banksy and Ron English. These are two of London's most famous street artist. The video also may give some ideas for the documentary that will be made of our exhibition.
