Contacting local authorities

As previously stated many of the companies asked me to contact them closer to the event and as of the 9th April it will be a month exactly before our opening night. The following is what was sent by myself on behalf of the group.

Thank you for all your swift replies to the email below. We would like to formally invite you to the exhibition brought to you by 3rd year Multimedia, Animation and Web production students.


The exhibit will take place from 9th - 13th May 2011 (with the opening night taking place from 5-9 on 9th May at the Michael Ashcroft building, Chelmsford campus).


This will give you a great opportunity to support your local community.


If you wish for any further information on the event then please visit http://www.3rddimensionexhibition.co.uk/index.html, please dont hesitate to contact me regarding information.

With this email now distributed around the county its now just a case of reminding them every week or so just to let them know we havent forgot about them and they havent forgot about us.

Progression of the website

Web design has never been and never will be one of my strong points and i will openly say that i would struggle to create a professional looking online portfolio that represents myself on my own.

With the aid of a few aquantances i will be able to create one in time for the exhibition so my business cards/cv/portfolio will all be able to follow the same theme and hopefully employers will visit my website.

With all this said i already have brought a domain name so its just a case of getting the website finsihed in time ready for the exhibition.

Sorting ourselves out into different groups

Once the presentations had all been done and the theme had been chosen we seperated ourselves up into different groups. These were web design, graphics and exhibition. I went into the exhibition section and my tasks were to be in charge of all money and contact local authorities such as newspapers radio stations etc.

Emails and telephone calls were exchanged with various authorities but the majority of them either didnt reply or they said contact them with more information closer to the time. The follwing text is the email which was sent to various authorities around the county.

To whom it may concern,


We are 3rd year students studying Multimedia, Animation and Web at Anglia Ruskin University, Chelmsford. You are being contacted on behalf of our fellow peers.


Week commencing 9th May 2011 we are holding an exhibition at the Chelmsford campus of Anglia Ruskin University. We would like to invite you to this event. If you would be willing to take this opportunity to come and support your local community we would be extremely grateful.


Please feel free to contact either of us if you have any queries.


Yours Sincerely,
