Exhibition Design


When sketching initial ideas of the layout I took note of two aspects of concern when designing an exhibition space; obviously these are the flow of people ( how will people move around? ) and information displayed. This how I came up with this idea of panels.

Plan Elevation

These so called panels are in different levels and angles, yet still in a continuous form; this will help with the flow of people, and act as a interactive point of the exhibition. 

The panels may consist of various kinds of information either about the exhibited work or on the student. Students would also like to present their business cards next to their work, hence these panels can provide this sort of feature.

Why Man Creates

 A series of explorations, episodes and comments on creativity by Saul Bass, a master of conceptual design, this film is one of the most highly regarded short films ever produced. Humor, satire and irony are combined with serious questions about the creative process and how it comes into play for different individuals. A fascinating cornucopia of trenchant ideas and important truths, it is stimulating and enjoyable for a very broad spectrum of ages and interests. Organized into eight major sections, the Edifice, Fooling Around, the Process, Judgement, a Parable, Digression, the Search, and the Mark, Why Man Creates is appropriate wherever creative problem-solving is the goal.

Released: 1968

Genre: Animation shor docmentary film

Pecha Kucha

Veronique began with a good rythm. I admire how her work is always neat and in order. Even though this is her style and is the way she works, I would like to see her do something bold and out of the ordinary.

Gabriel is always confident during presentations; never the glimpse of anxiety, I always wonder how he does it. When it comes to selling your products; I think it really comes natural to him.


Sirach impressed me with his skills in the workshops. His 3D works are impressive and distinguished. I like the fact that he experimented with stone in different aspects and achieved good results.

Richard, again like Gabriel; is confident and fluent during presentations. His work reflects his passion for 3D design.

Stephanie is also quite confident in presentations. I enjoyed the fact that she included items from before joining us at the institute.

Cocker has great skills in the workshop, especially in wood workshop. His presentation showed us his passion towards the arts and all the interest he takes in every technique/material.

Cassandra showed us her passion towards the ceramic workshops with a large variety of testpieces; also showing various techniques which she was capable of explaining them at ease.

Christine has great work in various areas; starting from the ceramic workshop to prosthetic make-up. Her works are very interesting and different from one another, just a little boost of confidence is all she needed in order to chat her way through the presentation.

Christian has great computer skills especially in 3D max and Auto Cad ... I think majority of the class envy's your skills :P


Lorraine showed us a variety of works from textiles to 3d max works. All works had high standard and showed all the hard work gone through. (Even Christian's)

Martina had great works but presented even better. She addressed us and spoke fluently in a moderate manner.
Christina had a variety of works which included paintings from her previous course and some works which she did at MCAST which showed all the different materials she tackled.

I enjoyed Nicole's presentation where she was concise and precise on what she was saying. She viewed the audience and had good presentation skills.

Fat chairs?!





Hybreed by Charlotte Kingsnorth




Hybreed, is a new project by Charlotte Kingsnorth; a London designer. The project is about covering chair frames with bulging upholstery. The aim is that every alteration done to these chairs, are meant to represent the flesh on each chair's obese owner. In its own humorist way, these chairs are intriguing. This collection of 'fat chairs' will be presented at Designersblock in London.
