Riki Moss

I wanted to look more into lighting of paper sculptures. Studio Glow was an instillation that beautifully illumintaes the sculptural designs, highlighting the dynamic details of the surface in high relief.


more Matthew Shlian

I came across some of Matthew's older work and thought that this light book was a strong idea that could fit into the exhibition really well. Using light will explore the weights of the paper, looking at quality and transparency.

This light book measures a 8 x 8 x 1/2 inches, however, we'd be looking at a large scale within the exhibitions for impact and interaction.

Movement

This video has given me several ideas for moving sculptures within the exhibition. I think this will create a vital interaction between the public and the fedrigoni paper. It also exploits the versatility of the stock. With some strong lighting with these pieces and an increase in scale they could potentially be really striking...



Matthew Shlian

Really nice cut out flip book by Matthew Shlian. Here the paper has been combined with illustration in an effective way using abstract shaping, movement and dimensions.


Richard Sweeney

Richard studied at Batley School of Art and Design, which led him to the study of three dimensional design at the Manchester Metropolitan University. There he concentrated on the hands-on manipulation of paper to create design models, which ultimately developed into sculptural pieces.

These definitely inspire me in terms of setting up an exhibition for Fedrigoni. They're quite interactive pieces in which you could walk around and really appreciate the paper crafting. It could be interesting to have a range of sculpture pieces like this using different weighted/coloured stocks.

advertisement prices

I found some prices for advertisements to be placed in a magazine HOWEVER, we must take into account that we would be a new up-coming magazine and so companies may be less inclined to place their adds in our magazine compared to other more highly-purchased magazines.

shapes & perspective
























I've been looking the effect of using a 2-dimensional shape to create the illusion of a 3-dimensional image. "Perspective" in the graphic arts, such as drawing, is an approximate representation, on a flat surface, of an image as it is seen by the eye. The two most characteristic features of perspective are that objects are drawn:
/Smaller as their distance from the observer increases
/Foreshortened: the size of an object's dimensions along the line of sight are relatively shorter than dimensions across the line of sight

yes

YES collaborated with Peter Saville on the art direction and design for the retrospective exhibition of Yohji Yamamoto's work.

I love the visual set up that YES has done for this collaboration. I like the simplicity of the design as it allows the Yohji's work to speak for itself as well as creating a particular 'look' for the label.
