This week we were talking about a seminar that is taking place in Dun Laoghaire on Saturday 23rd March. Of course the group loved the idea of the bus leaving at 7.15am....It will be worth it though.
We were thinking of how we would present our own group, and seeing as they make t-shirt graphics, were really interested in making these for the day. We were looking at making some posters, having information available about cyber-bullying, and having small items we could distribute such as key rings, mouse pads and maybe the posters if we make enough.
We are getting and 8x8 stand and maybe a 6x3 table to fill......and a very limited time to do it!
An example of screen printing my one of our group, on cardboard. At this stage were still in the stages of working on an exhibition. This is made more difficult by the fact that we are only with the group once a week. Every week there are more or less people in, so re-capping takes some time. That said we are actually really strong as a group, we all get on well together, and enjoy working in each others company.
Idea's as they grew and fell!
We were expecting more people to be in, a few students were out of the country and had let us know, but I think its important that people from the student side of the group would let us know if their not coming in. Especially with the nature of the group, it's important that we can be relied upon to come it. That said, although there wasn't that many of us this morning but the group had started some more brain storming before I came in.
I think this was more successful than other days. Maybe because we are secure in the topic we choose, maybe because we have a very limited time to get work done before the 23rd, or maybe because we have been at this project for so long that we actually really want to see something come from it. In that respect, the seminar is good catalysts for getting work done.
We are going to print on hats, banners, t-shirts, mouse pads. bookmarks, the works!
We were really impressed with this. A member of the group did this during the week. I really like the typography and the idea of 'stay together".
Our lecturer mentioned the idea of working with some of the symbols and icons already found on boxes. Il look at these during the week, perhaps for some poster designs.

I actually really like how the image bled out, It created it's own typography!
One of the vinyl templates for the t-shirts.
Maybe my usb people from the last post would work for an umbrella design!?
