Travelling Man Brief!

After a few days of nagging everyone I know about whether this brief would be happening again this year, it was finally revealed. The brief is fairly straightforward, create a (family friendly) A2 poster to be displayed in Travelling Man, Leeds for Thought Bubble. There has to be 16 A2 prints altogether to fit in the 8 double-sided frames.

As I really wanted to do this brief, being a nerd, Jack and I took the reigns as leaders of the group.  We decided on a theme which was ‘Fan Art’, we wanted to keep this as open as possible so people could basically do what they wanted, and be self indulgent. We also chose a colour scheme by spinning round a colour wheel I have and seeing what colours it ended up on. They ended up being an odd mix of colours but I personally liked them and thought it would be interesting to see what could be done with a limited palette.

Since I had to vaguely organise things I made a lot of posts to gang and talked a lot with Jack about details via instagram. 

First thing we did was get everyone together so we could see who was interested. Initially 14 people came to the meeting but more were interested bringing our total up to 19. Jack and me decided that all 19 could submit work but we would then curate the show. 

The audience of this project would be the people who visit Travelling Man, and as the exhibition is in conjunction with Thought Bubble Festival the audience is likely to consist of people mainly interested in comics, and other such geeky stuff.
