Week #8

City Exhibition

This week we had our city exhibition in J Block which required us to display our poster on an A1 panel along side our scale model of Kabul. The Exhibition was rather exciting, it was good to see the level of work that other groups were capable of achieving, and it was beneficial to speak with other students on the processes they went through to construct their scale models. Overall our entire piece of assessment was of good quality when compared to some other pieces of assessment, the photograph below shows our presentation set up.

Kabul Exhibition set up

We received our feedback for our poster and I needed to make the following adjustments before the 27th of April:

- Include Kabul in its true name

- Enlarge the image size of the traditional house and elevations of the city of light

- Reduce the size of the map of Afghanistan

- Remove the title decoration and choose one that is more suitable to Kabul

After making the above adjustments to the poster, I arrived at the following poster design for our final submission. Although I'm not overly happy with the layout of the report, I'm very happy with the way the images sit together nicely in the space provided.

Reflections


Now that the assessment is over, my final reflection is that I now know how to analyse a city and put that information into suitable images so that the data can be compared effectively. My techniques may need improvement, but this is something that I can fine tune over a period of time and through-out my many assessment pieces that I'll complete in the not so distant future.
