Art @ The East Side
Curzon Street Station

Brief:

Location/Building/Site
The Eastside of Birmingham is currently undergoing major renovation and revitalization - The Eastside Development Programme. Curzon Street Station will be at the heart of this regeneration. The building dates back to 1838 and has survived many attempts at demolition. It is in the centre of an area of great industrial heritage and in the near future it could be at the centre of an arts revolution. We are lucky to have this site as our external show in September. In keeping with the ethos of the site and building, please keep the history in mind when working on your designs.

Audience
The audience that we are trying to attract is widespread and diverse: we aim to reach beyond the art circles of Birmingham to draw in the vast community of the Midlands as well as to entice members of the media industry. Our audience is all inclusive.

Medium for Print/Design
Please work a design based on an A2 poster and either a DL Or A5 sized flyer (flyer to be double sided - the reverse side should include the contact/ info listed below, in addition to a map of the location of Curzon Street Station).

Work in CMYK rather than RGB.

Anyone got links to a printing company?

We are having to be really creative with our resources to put this show on within the tight budget we have.

We are really looking for a printing house to sponsor us with the print at the moment. Both myself and Conrad have contacts and are trying to talk them round, but is there one of you that could really help with this?

Obviously sponsors can incorporate their details onto the publicity material.

Just wondered if anyone has close links to a printer that would give us the print, or a huge discount at least, as sponsorship?

We'll be looking for around 2,500 flyers (which will either be A6, A5 or DL) and 80 A3 or A2 posters. There's other stuff too for the private view (which we'll brainstorm at the meeting tomorrow), but not to be cheeky we're just looking for a big help on the main flyers and posters.

If you can help get in touch ...

Comunity, i share this idea with you, for our external show, title and nature.

abc... and the "d"? where is the "d", the "d" is us.

We design, we demostrate, we direct... int he edge of finishing this journey and get cath by so many opportunities out there.

abc... so basic, from the alphabet and till the "edge".

Edge; an end? a limit?, not for us, that's the reason why we are At Birmingham's Curzon Edge... but that's not going to be IT. abc.edge We're just about to take that big jump.

JUICY INTERNAL SHOW



The internal MA Show which will happen at BIAD from 17th September 2007 will be entitled 'Juicy'. The off site show at Curzon Street is yet to be named.

We have had a number of submissions for 'Juicy' but we would like to finalise the design as this can then be handed over to UCE's marketing people for print production.

Please vote for your preference from the submissions we have received by MONDAY 25th June 07 so we can get this out of the way and concentrate on the Curzon Street show. You may vote for one design.

VOTING HAS CLOSED BUT YOU CAN SEE THE LINK TO THE OFFICIAL RESULTS HERE: http://www.blogpoll.com/poll/view_Results.php?poll_id=120255

GOOD NEWS FLASH!!!

I've just got back from the degree show and we can now officially announce that we have had formal confirmation from Phil that the site for the show will definitely be Curzon Street.

This means within the next few days we will have dates and can move on with the promotional print for the show.

Big big step forward...

Idea - might be too cheesy...

COMMUNICATION STATION
- a station where travellers arrive and pass through,

DESIGN JUNCTION
- the comming together of the 'International Artists' that we are.

SIGNAL
- a combination of the train station theme and design, a signal/signs are communication afterall.

I'm really not much good at this.

(THE) CURE ZONE

Title for Curzon Street Show:

The Cure Zone
Cure Zone
This is the Cure Zone

A play on words: Making a title by adapting "Curzon" into a communicatable title that will be catchy, location specific and hold deeper means about us as artists:

Subtitles: ?
Think of Annerley's Text
Work by remarkable/extraordinary/peaking/magnificant artists ... think modern.

Thinking about our site and the show:
Our art as a way to Cure (well, the bar and food and entertainment will be a cure for all I would imagine)
We as artists are a Cure for the site of Curzon Street because we are taking part in the revitalization of that derelic part of town and especially the AMAZING site that is the Curzon Street Station.

What do you think?

This name has been juggled around and seems to be acceptable. Lets talk about it. Can you envision a design?

JUICY is stil alive, we will use it for the internal show and they are happy to have it and will for production of posters and flyers.

Hi folks,

IMPORTANT : Outcome of Today's Meeting

We held a meeting today to discuss the design submissions for the show. However we were told point blank by Phil Thomson (who is now in charge of curating the off site show) that the University will not support a show at Curzon Street with the title 'Juicy'.

The title is deemed to be too 'studenty' and we can use it for the MA degree show on site, but for Curzon Street it has to be more sophisticated.

Basically if we persist in using the name 'Juicy' for the off site show the University will not chip in on funding. So we have a problem now that we must solve quickly, otherwise we will miss our deadline to get the promotional print and invitations distributed, and we really can't go ahead without their funding.

Also, the emphasis for the off site show now is that it is not a student show, but an exhibition by a group of international artists who have studied in Birmingham. The off site show will therefore be linked but not a copy of the on site show.

So, we need a new title ...

I was thinking about using something that links to Juicy but a word that is more sophisticated (OOZE maybe? PER:OOZE? Just ideas ...). Or we could go with something completely distinct?

We need your input on this quickly as the clock is really ticking now and there is so much to organise ...

PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS AND IDEAS!!! ASAP!!!

Tofu~~!'s juicy


This is my idea.
Working stage.
Still need to add more graphic and info.
Not sure if it should be coloured.
Let me know what you think please.

Inside Curzon Street

Images from Chelsea's Graphics Degree Show

MA Show Meeting Tuesday 10:30am @ 004 grey floor

Just a reminder, again, that the meeting will happen tomorrow morning. We will be talking about the design submissions and working towards what we want our final poster/publicity to look like. Annerley and I have been to Curzon street to look at the space and we are very impressed. There should be some pictures uploaded here soon. We want to discuss taking a trip to london to see a couple of degree shows and whatever is up the the tate modern and other galleries. It would be ideal to go this week since degree shows are coming down at the end of the week, but I know this is short notice. We will look into prices for you guys tomorrow. We were hoping Andrew or Phil would organize something for us but it never got off the ground so it looks like it is up to us so if we go participation would be encouraged by everyone. Its a good opportunity to see how shows can be organized and presented as well as get ideas and info about production. Everything else has been halted to some extent because we are still waiting to hear from the big man upstairs about a secured contract with Curzon Street and a budget. That is why we haven't pursued sponsors, thought about press releases, advertising, entertainment for private view, etc. But these are all things we should be brainstorming about. There is plenty to talk about at the meeting, please come.

Chelsea Degree Show

Whilst in London today I went over to see the degree show at Chelsea with Shail. It was very good, much smaller than I'd expected and I didn't see anything we couldn't do. I had a chat with the girl who organised the show and she said it had been very well attended at the private view. The whole degree show had quite a lot of visitors today (but location location - it's next door to Tate Britain and is well postered and signposted all along Millbank).

I have picked up a show brochure (or as the girl called it the 'Show Journal'). This is nicely put together, high gloss, fold out poster. There is information in there about all the students and includes excerpts from the blogging. I also picked up some of the business cards (every student has one). The portfolios were on a rack on the wall in yellow and green covers. All portfolios were numbered and this number corresponded to an exhibit. Very easy to see what was what. They had three flatscreen PC/Macs in the corner exhibiting some screen based work, and a large plasma for all moving image on a DVD loop.

I will post pictures later on today ...

JUICY POSTER




light it up!
playing the "juicy" with rope and light it up.
inspired by the ancient lamp (human initial lamp using string, oil, fire) .
meant the creation, wisdom, passion, beyond(old pattern) in our show.

Leave your comments

Hi

Please leave your comments on the poster submissions that are now on the blog. Please leave helpful comments like what you like about it, how you might change or alter it to make it better, if you think it could work for the show and why, etc. Or post another idea that you think could work better. We will be discussing the submissions on Tuesday and hopefully moving forward with a agreed upon design. Thanks!

juicy draft poster











poster 01







poster02








poster03


3 draft sketch for MA show poster, poster 2 and 3 are play around the typo design, full of imagination and changeable, can be graphic... can be illustration...can be photo shoot...can be 3D form...whatever, its just play around the 'juicy' name.

Submission Idea

My idea is using words which describe our definition of Juicy, placed in a block with the word 'juicy' emerging through changing text colour to form larger letters. I am not good with typography so this submission will be a collaboration with James.

The text I define 'Juicy' as is:

global>visual>communicators>exhibiting>a>disti
nct>blend>of>emerging>talent>creating>a>master
s>level>meltdown>fusing>ideas>of>european>asia
n>north>and>south>american>students>discoverin

an>evolving>redefined>confident>city>this>is>o

Like this (please excuse my typography, like I say it's a weak point for me. I'm sure James will make it look much more fabulous :)

GAP'S ideas


I've got two, one simple - one deeper. Hope you like them(...please...BMW).

mara's posters


I've used the venus of milo and the donatello's david's body parts to represent the passionate side of art and to keep it tongue an cheek as required by the brief. This way I could also play with the word juicy and its several meanings on more levels.
hope you like them and don't think they are offensive.
best,

What about...

Jucey instead of Juicy? As in UCE.

BIAD Degree Shows - a valuable source to critique

In the next few weeks, even before the Degree Show private view (20th June for Vis Comm), you can be looking at and analyzing what works and what you think doesn't.

Some students have chosen to just put clean foam mounted prints, others framed originals, and others even more elaborate installation set ups as backgrounds for their work.

See what you think, look at the details, the lighting, the portfolio presentations, record some of the could dos, as well as the don't dos

The submission of this proposal is required by all full-time MA students who are completing the course in September.
Part-time students (or students completing the course at irregular times) are also highly encouraged to submit a proposal, as consideration will be taken in regards to their current and potential work to be considered for the JUICY show at Curzon Street Station, to take place after the assessment show at Gosta Green.

DEADLINE: MONDAY JUNE 18TH 10am @ MAILBOX OUTSIDE PHIL’S OFFICE
Please submit your proposal on time so that it can be reviewed before your scheduled work check, happening in the same week.

PURPOSE: To provide a clear understanding of what each student is producing for the assessment show (to take place on 17th September) in order to allocate space, provide technical assistance and equipment, as well as having a clear grasp of the concept behind the work.
In addition, this proposal will be used to select students to participate in the JUICY exhibition at Curzon Street Station (happening at the end of September)*.

Complete the proposal as thoroughly as possible and provide accurate and detailed descriptions for each of the following requests.

· Name
· Contact Details - Phone and Email
· Title
· Description of the work:
· Medium of work produced
· Dimensions of the work produced or to be produced
· Dimensions of the space you will need to display your work
· Display needs
· Technical needs
· A sketch of how and where you envision your work to be displayed in the space you want to display it.


· Time line of Production


Please note that these submissions will be assessed by Phil for the purpose of the assessment show and passed on to Catharine and Juicy committee to be use as a source for organizing the upcoming Juicy show. Contact either Phil or Catharine if you have questions.




* Note that submission of this proposal does not guarantee entry into the JUICY show. Students will be selected by a panel of judges and the work will be chosen based on guidelines draw up by the JUICY committee.

Conrad's poster submission for MA Viscom Show 2007

Here's an idea that I threw together last night. Might be a bit quirky for what you want but an idea all the same. Tried to keep it fairly simplistic which should make it easy to adapt to any form of show related collateral. If it makes it into the 'maybe' pile then I'll apply the idea to some other peices of collateral. For those of you who can't see it you may remember the jingle 'Opal Fruits made to make your mouth water' (I'm showing my age!). For those of you who still haven't got it.....I've adapted a packet of 'Starburst' (formally know as Opal Fruits) to give the design that extra fruity flavour!!

LET' S GET TOGETHER


from the "Random Artists" show 2007 in Prague

Hey people,
ball is rolling for the MA show....i think it would be good to organise a meeting with all of us again including all of our tutors to discuss all show ideas to let it go further even stronger. The meeting is essential as well to talk about resources which will be and won't be available over the summer and which we need for our work.Till what time is Gosta Green open. When are the deadlines for this and that. And to make sure that everybody knows what is going on to avoid any clashes of two MA shows etc.
tuesday 19 at 10.30

Really IN or just one foot in one foot out?

As usual, I get one particular tutor asking the most out of the blue questions, in the most awkward of times - level03 assessments. And this one is do to with you lot - you can probably already guess my response if you know my character:

Question:
How driven are the MA students as a whole in getting this show off the ground?

Answer:
Uhhh! Why? What you talking about?

CUT A LONG STORY SHORT - man (has a Scottish accent) wants to know if you are really committed - how many of you??

Get Your Friends to Join the Blog(s)

We need complete support from everyone on the course to make these blogs work. It is beneficial to everyone to be on the sites! We can communicate ideas and discuss progress without having to call a meeting! And apparently most of us can't find time for the meetings. So please tell your friends to sign up. There are a lot of things happening and soon everything will be happening very fast and we want to make sure we aren't leaving anyone out!

ENTERTAINMENT FOR PRIVATE VIEW

One thing we must all have a good think about is how we maximise the number of people attending the show from the invitations list.

Think we need a big pull and if the catering and beer are sponsored we should be able to get some decent entertainment to make the show more attractive to those we invite.

So any suggestions for the private view? Any hot DJs that would bring them in? Or an up and coming band? Or any other suggestions on maximising the attendance from the invitation list?

Please comment on this - We'll be having a brainstorming session on this in the forthcoming meeting on 19th June and the comments left here will be our starting point. We really need to include the outcome of this decision in the publicity print which will need to be ordered early July. Are you working on a submission? Bear this in mind and leave space for this.

CATERING FOR PRIVATE VIEW

Hi All

I've just had a meeting with my Dad and he's agreed for our company (Black Rhino Promotions Ltd) to provide a contemporary buffet with Chef for the private view. We'll provide plates etc too.

That's a definate so the food for that is sorted.

The image “http://nosheteria.com/buffet.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

THERE WILL BE SUN... THE NIGHT OF THE SHOW



holaaaa compañeros!!
Some of you may know, but i have contacts in México inside of Cervezería Cuauhtemoc Moctezuma... ??? the brewery that manufactures Sol beer, among others, and this could be our first sponsor, all we need to do it's send a letter, explaingn what, who, why, when, where.... and it is already for sure that we will get them.
In Sol, they're going to help us out, with money, beer, or both, even goodies.
So that's for the news, and without saying more, there's another group in assosiation with CCM brewery that works in London, that may be sponsor, providing with some machines to make smothies or cocktails, for the night of the show... will keep you informed.

CALL FOR ENTRIES!! MA SHOW DESIGN BRIEF

Would you like to pitch for our MA show design and branding?

If you do, here is how. After today’s meeting we all (those who attended) have voted and agreed upon that our show will be called JUICY.

We want the design to portray the diverse and multi-cultural aspect of our cohorts. The ideas should reflect on how we as the fresh graduate will MORPHED into quintessential visual communicators, contributing our creative juices to the industry.

The tone of voice should be punchy and vibrant. Like the FLUX out of electric cable, the design should burst with energy and colours. Tongue on cheek almost!

----------
IDEAS ON THE TABLE
Initially when JUICY was suggested to the group, we were discussing on the idea of different kinds of colourful, vibrant and exotic fruits. A good analogy I suppose is cocktail drinks: colourful, exotic and POTENT!

This is a good idea to start with. But do come up with your own interpretation reflecting the theme and concepts. Who knows but your idea COULD be better.

----------
CRITERIA
We need you to look at two different aspect of this design exercise.

1. Ratio of an A4 or A3 poster of your fabulous design which will later be blown up to A2 size, if chosen. Information like the venue date and time should be included. If you don’t know what are the information, MAKE IT UP! We can always go back and alter it.

2. We want to see how you are going to apply your concept and design to the branding of JUICY. For example letterheads, invitation card, programmes, flyers, mailers, name tags, paper napkins, banners, badges and the list goes on and on and on. Who knows, maybe you even want to come up with coordinate dressing codes, t-shirt and even what kind of cups we are going to use during our exhibition. Ofcause you don’t have to do all the listed above but we want to see how your winning poster design can be translated onto other products in the show.

-----------
SUBMISSION
We would like you to post your winning design onto the blog. Therefore I would recommend you to upload your work in A4 websize (72 dpi) jpeg, pdf or png.

For example you may have 2 documents uploaded onto the blog. One with the poster design and the other will be your branding.

It will be wise to create your work in large printsize (300dpi) and then size it down for the submission. If your design is chosen, it will saves you the trouble of doing it again! Make sure it is editable so that we can minor tweek it if nessacery.

----------
DEADLINE
The submission of your brilliant ideas will be on the 15th of JUNE. That will be in two weeks away which gives you plenty of time. We don’t expect you to come up with 5 million items but atleast one finished poster and a few ideas of the branding of JUICY.

----------
PRIZE
This is the best part. Apart from your design going up live which is fantastic for your portfolio, the winner will walk away with a bottle of an expensive wine. If we get more sponsors, you may be getting more! Who knows you might get a SHINY NEW BMW if we manage to get BMW to sponsor us. WHO KNOWS!!!


So let your creative juice flow. Go wild, go mad, be fabulous. The world is your oyster. GO GET THEM TIGERS! RRRRrrrrrrr….
