This is one of the first pieces I was drawn to; its colour, texture, material and detail was what attracted me to the piece. I believe it was made up of a mixture of metal and string. Although for me this piece is something I would consider to have no meaning, this may be due to my lack of interest in the art culture.
This piece was interesting to me as it looked like a walk through installation, but unfortunately we were unable to get any closer to the piece. I like the use of type and the way they have used light to create the type. The idea of an interactive exhibition would be of interest to me which I could keep in mind for future reference.
I photographed this piece just for the scale; it was very large which made the piece intriguing and of interest from the audience point of view. It had a room dedicated to the piece which meant that you could put all focus on the piece. Although the scale was impressive it is not something I have an interest in, in terms of the design.
The use of materials and layout is interesting in this piece, the layout looks overcrowded but this may have been done purposely.
I was instantly drawn to these due to the contrasts in colour in both pieces. I was also interested to see what the messages were incorporated in to them.
My thoughts:
I enjoyed the trip on a whole as I got to experience something that I don't normally do. However, I would say that I would prefer to go to exhibitions with a more direct link to graphic design as I have more of an interest in advertising rather than the art side of design; the reason for this is, is I prefer design to have a purpose whereas I feel art is too open and random. Although I would say it has helped me gain some culture and I was still impressed with the typography based pieces.
