The months are really good but the front is a bit so so. This is down to asterisks just being used as design elements without having any particular use other than to look pretty.

We shall not take the photos of posters holding them in front of our face and body. Not any more. Presentation of a work should be as unique as the work it self, or at least it should give no message. Recently I’ve started to think “Oh one of those designers hiding behind the posters” instead of looking at the work. Most of the time the fingers and the funny positions of them on the posters attract more of my attention than what is shown. Sorry no offense, same things goes for my work too.

Ha ha you should see the poster I have done for our work in progress show.

I’d love to see it. Why don’t you show us?

Its on the front page of my site http://www.2c2d.co.uk (warning contains mild nudity)

[…] debates how design work is presented. Thanks to Oa!, Tbrasington and Aynagoz for discussing this here at […]

Excellent what do people think of the poster I made? Any chance of getting it on the front page ;) It came from the idea that our tutor said we can only pose like that if our genitals are somewhat revealed.

The only reason I can think for holding a poster in such a way is to show the size / 2d element of it in context. I could post something up on my site at 700 px wide but then it loses a sense of scale. However as mentioned I think it has just become an aesthetic of presentation without having any relevance to the design. Ideally if you where wanting to show it in relation to the size it should just be photographed on location rather than holding it.

But as a student a lot of work produced has no place in the real world so ends up in front of your chest. Ho hum.
