Professional Practice: roles and more

To keep the event organized and well planned we need roles in place to maintain our efficiency as a team. Because we have less people this time round knowing our responsibilities is crucial in making sure the event is a success. The debate on whether people would keep similar roles was talked about as well as having another team leader so that communication within all areas would be better; due to the decrease in people working on this project roles will also become slightly more fluid in a way and this is something where communication will be key.

With basic roles in place we could start getting ready for the last exhibition. The first thing we needed was a list of how everyone wanted to display their work; we needed this so we could figure out what equipment needs booking as well as how much space people would need to display their work. This information also works hand in hand with location choice as our final choice needs to be able to provide the right amount of space for everyone; which is why it is important we know what people are aiming for early on.

What I need:

Figuring out how I would display my work was and still is a challenge, due to the variety within my work I was unsure on the best way to present each piece of work as well as a whole and this was something I heavily needed to focus on a decide on. Work I want to show includes; photography, ideas for potential projects and some video evidence of me presenting ability. I feel the best way to present most of this work is in a digital format, due to myself being the main product I want to promote I don't want the work to be overwhelming but at the same time I need it to stand out. This is something that I will need to focus on closer to the time especially in correlation to the theme that will be fully set and in motion. Initial ideas I had included; Ipad or Mac, Board to display some work, a table to put printable's.

As part of my role I not only needed to figure out what I wanted but I also needed to collect this information from everyone in the group so I can sort out any equipment that would need booking. As an initial starting point I got everyone to send me their wish list of tech, and basic set up items like boards and tables, etc. Because we still don't have a set location I thought a wish list would help with deciding on one as well as allowing us to start thinking about layout and positioning of everything once the location is set. Not only that but it has also helped people start thinking about what work they want to showcase and how they want to portray themself which is something that is very important to consider when preparing and actually doing the event. When putting the information together I had a total of how many were wanted as well as having the initials of who wanted them. The table below is the collection of the wish list data this will then need confirming once a location is set and booked so we an make sure we use the space efficiently as well for filling everyone's own needs and wishes.
