Jess's Exhibition

Dan's girlfriend Jess exhibited her graduation folio this week along with other students in their final year of graphic design at Victoria University city campus. It was a great relief and pleasure for Jess to reach this point. We drove into the city and met them at the exhibition. Each student designed an A1 sized panel (colour laser printed) which displayed their best work for the course. As well as this the course produced an attractive book displaying this work (and more) for prospective employees to remember them by, and Peter thought that made the exhibition ten times more effective. The simplicity and uniformity of the presentation made it a good student exhibition.

Peter remembers his own student exhibition which was a total non event for what it generated. There was no corporate visual structure. No real promotion. It was just a change of class room decor in the last week of the year and that was that. Who came to view the exhibition was anyone's guess because Peter doesn't remember if it had an opening. On the other hand, Jess's course staff have shown a supportive attitude as they attended to the needs of their graduating students for what is very much a cut-throat industry to get into. When every university in every state is offering a graphic design course, competition for a position in a good firm makes it tough. Peter was fortunate. He was at the right place at the right time to land the job with Michael Bryce.
