Vinyl

As recognised in other exhibitions, there is typically a body of text providing context to the exhibition on entrance to the space. Without wanting to give away too much about the exhibition we wrote a brief sentence for visitors to read. This will be printed in vinyl so that it is easy to apply and remove from the wall. This is a material I have not previously worked with and will be learning the technique of application from Hilda. 

Tests were completed to ensure that the type size of the vinyl would be legible from a range of distances, without being over imposing on the space. 

Due to the print technician being absent when I had an appointment to print the vinyl and the replacement technicians being unconfident to use the vinyl cutter, alternatives had to be explored. This developed my fast paced working skills as well as my communication methods. Alternative printers were contacted however due to the short turn around, the cost was out of the budget. The alternatives were to print a large poster with the information on, following the structure of the social media banners. Thankfully, the technicians gave it a try and we were able to print the vinyl.
