Presentation

SLIDE 1 - intro 

As the brief was to create a way-finding system for the university which is a very busy environment, we wanted something bright, clear and easy to see amongst a crowds. We believe that creating a neon way finding system achieves this as well as looking interesting and giving off a nice unusual light. 

SLIDE 3 - The Idea

The idea came from bringing the two buildings together, pink neon lighting already exists here and a lot of people are attracted to it and take photos of it. We wanted to develop on this further and make it more of a feature and talking point of the uni. 

SLIDE 5 - How It Works

We have given colours to each discipline, 

Pink: Fashion branding, fashion photography, fashion design and textiles)

Yellow: Photography and film making

Red: Graphic Design, illustration, animation  and comic concept art

blue: Fine art

Green: Popular music performance

Orange: vis com

Purple: creative advertising 

SLIDE 7 - Why?

We believe that the bright neon lights will improve the mood of people as well as making the environment look more creative. The thing that most people dislike about the current uni building is the fact it is boring and uninspiring so creating a more vibrant work space will counteract this and hopefully make people feel more creative and ready to do work. 

SLIDE 9 - Inspo

For inspiration we looked at the museum of neon art, an institution that exists to encourage learning and curiosity into neon art. as well as Tracey Emin, Doug Wheeler, Phillipe Parreno and Martin Creed as they all use neon lights in interesting ways. 

SLIDE 11 - End

Thank you for listening, please feel free to ask any questions. 

Overall I am really pleased with how the presentation went, as we were the second group to present I feel we got asked a lot more questions than the other groups later on in the day. After our presentation we were asked about 10 questions, maybe even more which put us on the spot however I feel me and Danii did really well to answer them and support ourselves with good evidence and research. I don't really enjoy presenting as I don't feel confident doing it but I found presenting along side Danii made me feel better as I knew that if anything went wrong and I was to forget what to say etc that she would be ale to help me.
