How'd it go?

The turnout was pretty good, and I talked to some parents about my work and the theme I had gone with. My little sister and parents came, and she took advantage of the cosy area I had made, from blankets and cushions. 

Last Tuesday, we had our show.

The day before, I came in for final tweaks to my pieces and to paint the actual boards white. It all turned out pretty good, and the next day I mounted my work onto card to make it look more professional. I brought my own family photos and bought some 'refrigerator letters' to create my theme. I also printed out 10 business cards to give out during the show.


That lasted for about an hour, and then it was time for the films, and finally a speech that ended our show and the two years on the course. Sort of.

Overall, I think it went well. People were interested and engaged with the boards, and even asking questions. I liked how my theme was also different, and not entirely uniform. Though, because my book wasn't on the board it did seem a little random. But I was there to hand out the books to explain it for anyone.

I think if I could go back and do something else, it would be to professionally print the business cards not mount them onto card. I was rushing so they weren't my best work, and they felt too thick, too. They weren't flexible and ways to fit in your pocket like other cards. I also slightly wish that during the year I had done some more work, or kept trying at unfinished ideas. I wanted a bit more on my board, in the end. For instance, my handmade book would've been really interesting and different to have there.

But, like I said, I'm happy with how it turned out.
