1980s Colours

Now we have decided on our theme we can get working properly towards the exhibition. To start with I have had a research into the different colours. We have decided as a group to do a 'Retro' exhibition, based mainly on the 1980s. I had a scan of the Internet to find some common colours.

It was a very bright time, lots of colour and exuberance. We will certainly have to consider this when designing the invitations, flyers, posters etc. We will need to be careful with this colour though, because we do not want it to distract people from the most important thing, which is our work.

A reallyu good idea was raised during the theme presentations and it was suggested that everyone has their own small avatar to help represent their work. This would be very useful, as people can identify someone with a small cartoon more easily than with a word. This wouls also be very useful because some of us will have work that is being displayed away from our individual boards, such as sound and video work. This icon will be very useful to help identify those people.

I was having a look on the Internet and I stumbled upon these images. It seems too good to be true... as there are 20 of us! I'm sure we will use some other characters such as Sonic too.
