We found the space nice. It was large and versatile, and had a lot of open space. After looking here, we decided to go back to uni and crack on with some ideas for concepts.
Joel came up with the name Re-cover, which I quite liked, but not sure about how it can be used as a full concept.
I had an idea to use the genre of the books - academic research/theoretical books, and make it into the concept that students/researchers usually stay up late into the night reading these sorts of books, so the exhibition could be a statement to that, with the lights very dim with spotlights on each cover, and the room filled with things that will make you want to go to sleep. The aim is to try and stay awake. No one really responded to this idea though, which I was a bit disappointed about because I feel like it would be quite unique and put a nice twist on the content of the exhibition.
Other ideas included involving the celebration of print, doing something with the A4 paper size, involving 2 colours and having an organic theme due to the traditional methods used in the exhibition.
We thought about the saying "don't judge a book by it's cover", and changing it to just "judge a book by its cover", as it's an exhibition about book covers, and we decided to stick with this idea, until we found out that quite a lot of people in the class had already thought about this idea or were going ahead with it.
By this point we were all quite worn out and not able to think of any good ideas. Tomorrow we're going to meet at 9:30 at uni and try to come up with a solid, unique concept that will fit with the exhibition, and if we can't then the "judge a book by its cover" concept is our backup.
Today has been quite unsuccessful so hopefully tomorrow will be better.
