Week 4 Blog Update

Today we had to present our idea of the theme we would like to use for the exhibition. Although I felt that ours was a very strong contender it was unsuccessful. The theme for our presentation was "Progression of design". In the end "3D" was the chosen theme. I am pleased with this as this is the one I believe that this was second best to our proposal.

Once the theme for the exhibit had been chosen, it was now time to split ourselves up into different groups to work with towards exhibit in May. I went into the "Exhibition" section along with 6 other students. We have all taken different roles which vary from trying to gain sponsorship right up to layout structure.

My role is to contact local media to see if they are interested in coming down to our exhibit. This would provide a great opportunity for student's work to make it into local newspapers and would even promote their chances in the future to gain employment.

So far I have a list of 8 or 9 local newspapers, radio stations and television stations who I will contact within the next week. These will be contacted in various ways such that will include, email, telephone and in person.
