Before the actual event we were given the task to promote the exhibition and present work in a given A0 space in the basement of cord bar in the northern quarter of Manchester. In the making of the zine publication it was primarily mine and Sean's work that was presented so we therefore gave the opportunity of the illustrators within are group to present their work as they previously had, had ideas on what they want to put up and display. However, before the time to display we could not get into contact with the illustrators and had no real idea on wether the work was finished to a high standard, I therefore had to test the ideas of poster design in order to be presented with are work, in which poster design is not something that I had done for a while, so felt it was difficult to get back into as I primarily like double page spread layout design.
This therefore made the exhibition, not look effective as the work was rushed as previously said we expected the illustrators to produce their work in a timely manner. This was a on going theme in the project so on reflection I should have probably at least explore ideas before hand. On reflection I feel that the work in the exhibition was not the best to are ability, and however it would have been nice to produce better designed pieces of work as it was not a true reflection of the work within the zine that we produced.
During the day when we where putting up the work, we were given the task of going around the Northern Quarter, from the different bars, restaurants and shops that are presented their, and asking wether it would be possible too place a poster for the event in their place of business. We were able to get a few posters in different areas, from the likes of Forbidden Planet, Afflecks Palace, Nexus art cafe and Pop Boutique. However some places were more forthcoming if we had flyer designs to display in the store.
