Exhibition Nerves

The weekend is drawing in quickly and before I know it, it will be the day of hanging our exhibition. I feel I have everything ready but am sure I will have forgotten something crucial. My images are printed and framed images are bubble wrapped ready for transportation. I will need to use card to secure my A0 troll images on the morning of the hanging so that the weight of the images do not rip through the pins used to secure them.
I have been very happy with the look of the prints and especially the extras; such as postcards to sell and business cards to place for passers by. With just last minute things to organise such as drinks; price lists and information boards; I think we are very much on track....

Now just to wait for the big day!!

MCA Student Awards

Tonight I went to the MCA awards for student of the year. Three people from each year group are nominated and then the tutors choose one person to give the award too. I was so so surprised to hear I had been nominated and even more so when I went along and won!

I could not be more chuffed with the situation. I never would expect to be picked for something like this. I feel that every one of my group have pushed and bettered their photography this year and so the awards is deserved by us all. I just am gratfeul for the tutors for thinking im worthy of the student of the year award. So thank you!

Busy Busy Busy

Since our final day at Uni; I have been really busy organising exhbition work. I finally completled all my printing and framed the images ready for hanging too. I thought about having new business cards made to place in the gallery and went with some more of my contempary still life images on the front.
I like simple and classy so left the back with simple font with white back ground. They are luxe business cards so made of good quality paper/card with a red colour seperating the two. I am very excited to see the finished look. Would really recommend looking into http://www.moo.com/ if you are looking into creating some of your own!!
I also used this company to make post card sized prints to sell in the exhibition; they will be good print quality but by making them smaller in size they are perfect for a momento and also cheap too :)
Now that everything is ALMOST sorted I am very excited to see the exhibtion up and running.

Snow White

Last week I went and watched Snow White and the Huntsman. I am a little bias as I am a Kristen Stewart fan but I loved the film. I felt the adaptation fom the childhood novel I know so well was fantastic. They kept many parts to the tale the same but with more depth to the story. I watch a lot of films which are quite intense and really demand your concentration; so it was really nice to go to the cinema and be able to follow the story line easily and just enjoy the twist they added to the orginal tale.

I would certainly recommend any film fans to give it a try!!
