Final Year Exhibition Idea – When multimedia collides

We’ve been thinking of ideas for a theme to our degree show, we all had to pick a word or concept and expand it into an idea for the branding/theme of the show.

After struggling to think of anything worthwhile on the spot when asked in a recent lecture i went away and had a proper think.

A word that came into my head and captured my imagination was collision.

Students on this course will be graduating with a wide selection of skills, we all have different areas of expertise and all have areas of shared knowledge. So i was thinking we could play on the idea of the show being a collision of all of our multimedia skills.  A huge range of different skills and talents colliding together at once and shooting all over the place in different directions.

To visualise this ive collected some photos of collisions, i like the idea of having a representation of all our skills all feeding into a central object and the result of the collision being our work, similar to the big bang.

The images above are of collisions in space/energy, i dont think our show should mirror this exactly but use the concept as inspiration.

I think the graphics for our show should depict all of our skills and areas, be it in a  typographical or image based nature coming together and exploding into this main object which would be the degree show name/central image.

A definition of the word collide:

verb (used without object)

1.	to strike one another or one against the other with a forceful impact;

Our multimedia skills will be colliding against one another at this show, and i like the idea of these skills forcefully clashing together but feeding into a central object and coming out the other side as something else, something more cohesive and fully formed.

Just a few thoughts there, the idea needs to be developed further and some more visualisation produced but in my opinion it has potential.
