Graphic Arts Degree Show Exhibition

What I found refreshing, was the use of the laser cutter to produce graphics.
Here, an array of alternative font styles has been burnt into the wooden sheet. This aesthetic, gave something new and fresh to the exhibition, which I admired greatly.


Display cases held more fragile pieces of work, such as paper engineering, CD covers etc.
The cases above show the work of Kirsty White and Sophie Todd - both Illustration students whom have a technique for precision.


A typographic piece of work I admired, was that of Siobhan Ley.
Using advantage of the laser cutter to create typographic stamps which were used for letterpress to create the work below.

I admire the brave attempt of positioning and the irregular type sizes.

Following from the 'equation-like' sums on vinyl throughout the corridoors come from James Henderson. He explored the thoughts of people's perception of Graphic Arts.

To accomodate this, produced an interaction piece of work, which involved the user to create their own sum.

I loved this idea, it allowed the user to become involved and have fun.

A small booklet was produced alongside to show the numerous different equations.

As I said earlier, I admired the exploration of 3D work in the exhibition.

This sculpture is the work of Ben Rigney. The is produced from Perspex pieces of type that slot into one another to produce a sculpture of your own.

This years catalogue was an unusual one. Rather than a brochure of work, this years students printed their work onto an A5 sized postcard which was placed into a brown cardbaord box, which had an interaction/playful side were on could pop out the holes to create a shape/design/letter.

A fun idea, although I did like the idea of a magazine in which I could flick through. Having said that though, this is a new approach which allowed each student to be individual and design their own postcard; front and back.
