This week has been hectic biding my time between competition briefs and putting together the ever promising Cape Town retrospective, coming to the platform gallery very soon. My task was to work with Jackie presenting our working method at Cape Peninsula University of Technology and the 7 outcomes we each produced and presented to the Design School out there. Armed with b/w A1 test prints of the final sheets we set to work displaying these in the most apt format possible, with attention paid to the influences and routes that led us to those outcomes.
A space that could house each large test print but also serve to demonstrate further layers was necessary. So we set about creating shelves for portfolio boxes to reveal photos of individual influences, sketchbook pages and research findings. I had the pleasure of spending some quality time in the workshop producing two frames for some panoramic prints to also have on display.
The rainbow nation we'd grown to love become a consistent influence on our colour scheme, which we applied using multicoloured electrical tape. An aptly entrepreneurial spirit also became a byproduct of such reuse.
