October 2010 - Manchester Cornerhouse cornerhouse.org

UNSPOOLING This exhibition looks at the nature of film and challenges it. Film has been re-contextualised in many different ways - it’s been reassembled, changed into archives and adapted by each different artist - in each case creating something personal and entirely new. From an art direction perspective, I enjoy the notion of being able to turn something on it’s head by changing or reappropriating aspects of it. There were lots of references to specific scenes of films, like Stanley Kubrick’s 2001 A Space Odyssey (pictured), taking slit scans from the film and displaying them in a way that represents the ideas and themes represented within it.

joanna niemayer Joanna’s talk was great because she was really open to answering candid questions about the details of projects that no one else I’ve seen has been open enough to reveal – such as how much their company charges for a project and how many stages they go through before delivering a final outcome. I also found her work about female graphic designers really thought provoking – the fact that in education 70% of graphic design students are female, compared to in industry where this drops to only 40%. She and a fellow designer started up their own studio called April, after working at agencies for years. She says this was a huge learning curve because all of a sudden you have to worry about money. I’d love to be in this position some day.

Liz Farrelly - Laurence King Publishing (2010)

designers’ identities I picked up this book when I was thinking of creating my own personal logo to see how designers have chosen to represent themselves. There are so many different approaches in there and I’ve found myself flicking through it on many different occasions.

Particular favourites of mine

are Inkahoots and their ‘Exhibition Kit’, ScienceWerk’s Business Cards, Sell! Sell!’s Bullshit free zone poster and Aboud Creative’s ‘A’ pattern. But there’s so much in this book that you can find something new every time you look.

It’s a point of question, whether

someone in my position should have a logo as it might put employers off if they don’t like it. But would argue that that’s just an excuse people make.

Prior to making my ‘logo’ I had built a few different portfolio websites over the last couple of years, but it was only once I had done it that I felt able to use the domain name jenhingley.com. Making this logo - inspired by a simplification of my signature has enabled me to represent myself better and hopefully points to a good branding ability (if potential employers actually like it).

The logo has been incorporated

to all of my final hand in work across third year, along with the URL to my website. As well as becoming a symbol for my self-promotion and appearing on business cards which I will distribute at the degree show.

thats it! This has been the most productive year of my life. I feel I’m in an amazing position now to go out and find a job, and I’m leaving to course full of optimism. I really feel I’ve come into my own towards the end of the year, and it’s almost a shame that it has to end. But that’s just the way it goes.

Thanks so much Hitch, Sue, John, Clinton, Hillary, Liz and Graham for being fantastic all the way through the course. I feel really privileged to have worked with you all during my degree :)
