Professional Skills

In Unit 2, I was part of the Committee and Steering Group for the Bargehouse Show, responsible for writing the press release for the exhibition.


We first decided on the general title of the show and the titles of the three sub-shows based on the professional characteristics of the students involved in each batch:
Show 1 - Reflection 
Show 2 - Diffusion
Show 3 - Refraction 
Overall show - Spectrum

During our group meeting, we were involved with the poster design team, so I was then involved in the conception of the exhibition poster. I suggested that we could use a principle similar to four-colour printing, where each exhibition has its poster in one of the colours, and the final large poster is a superimposition of the individual posters of several exhibitions. However, unfortunately, I was not involved in the rest of the design team's tasks, so the final poster presentation did not match my ideas.

While writing the press release, the team and I communicated our ideas to each other in a WhatsApp group, and we created a shared document to be more efficient and bring more ideas together. During the process, we also asked Juliette if we should add the names of all the participating artists to the Press Release, but due to the number of exhibitors, we abandoned this approach. After much revision, we ended up with the final version.
