Beauty in the Making Exhibition

So yesterday I went to the Beauty in the Making Exhibition which was run in association with GF Smith Papers.

The exhibition was to showcase the methods behind paper production and the processes it goes through in order to become the paper we buy in the shops.

There were demonstrations of paper making and I even had a go at letterpress and envelope folding. There was also some amazing samples of some original hand drawn type from the 1930's. It was great to see the tipex marks on the paper - it made it so much more real.

After the exhibition I managed to go a couple of industry talks. the first one was from the director of Future Shorts the company that contains The Other Cinema, Future Cinema and The Secret Cinema. It was a really insightful talk all about the relationship between film and the audience and the future of short films and cinema.

Here are some pictures from the exhibition

No.37 Publication

So last term our class had the brief of creating a publication based around the theme of territories.

Here is the synopsis of our publication:

Through the medium of 'journeys' this publication looks to consider the relationship we have with our environment; how we record it, how we interact with it and how those things we most commonly ignore become valuable when we're at our most conscious and analytic. Through this consciousness, we seek to question the idea that destination is the sole logical outcome of our journey. You are welcome and encouraged to bring your own luggage; experiences, memories, thoughts and observations. Indeed, it is these elements that fulfil the experience offered in this book through your personal interpretation.

Here is a digital version of our book:
