vg8. Problems Scheduling the Exhibition

Studio work is planned for Saturdays.  Thats when I create collages, or videos, or digitally worked images.  Framing stuff is for this day too. Of course, I work on Val Gal on Saturdays.  If a photograph is not strong enough in the exhibit it will be Saturday when I sort it out of the machine.
But to do this stuff sometimes take preparation.  Whether or not I do preparatory work during the week depends how busy it is.  Or how impatient I am to get things done.

Lets take an example.  I have been mounting the new exhibition since the beginning of September. Since the first day of the season is usually around the twentieth of the month , this gives me three weeks to hang.  I do everything solo so I have to  make choices.  I figure if the public Corridor gallery is hung up and ready I am on schedule.  The Rose Studio Gallery is open only to serious buyers and to those who I take on a Gallery Tour.  All this to say there were ten works to be finished and framed for the 21st of September.  That translates into about three frames each Saturday.

So the first Saturday in September I just started everything that morning.  I went into my files to see what I would print out.  the Theme was Autumn Leaves: New City.  So I had to go find all my autumn images.  Easier said than done.

First thing that happened. I couldn't find the autumn file.   I have trillion KG external hard drives so since they weren't in the place I thought they were it took a long time for the search engine to work.  So I couldn't even find the images on computer.

Second thing.  I went into my paper dossiers to find the images that were already done. As luck would have it, the file I wanted wasn't readily available.  I had to go through the archives which meant going up a ladder and going through several large volumes of paper.

Needless to say, Saturday went by with me just looking for anything.  Nothing got done.  Certainly there were not three frames finished.

Just finding the selection, stretched out into the middle of the week.  That meant some serious adjustments had to be made to my schedule.

The Before Poster Series

Before posters   The arts in a poor community   When I moved into the downtown sector the plateau Montreal was a very poor community   Although the community was very poor it was densely populated. There were a lot of dry goods establishments mixed with a fair amount of family tolerated prostitution. The police sergeant had taken it upon himself to clean up the area so there were a lot of sponsored artistic establishments Mostly beginning dressmakers. These were young designers that needed a lot of cheap space and fast and they were willing and able to physically fight for their career.  They had many ethnic grocery stores that promoted regional fruits and vegetables  four different kinds of cooking needs. You had Portuguese you had English you had Chinese etc. These culturally diverse grocery stores exist to this very day. You also had a lot of temporary space that could be rented very cheaply for performance. It is from these performances can I tak...

vg39. Creative Strategy for a newspaper Advertiser: Clearosil Perfecto Wash

The book I am reading says to practice making a creative  marketing strategy by using other products. this one is an online newspaper ad.  here goes: The purpose of Clearosil Perfecto wash advertising is to show that the user of this soap will have clear skin no matter what kind of food she eats.  So she can go out with all sorts of great looking people and eat fabulous junk food. This will be accomplished by first of all using very beautiful model in attractive surroundings and making it look very easy and practical to just use the soap and get rid of all potential problems.  The product's convenient aspect is enhanced by a very modern looking funky dispenser that gives the soap with very little effort. The ad will be humorous and the models will maintain her good looks no matter what even if an accident happens: like her hat is taken off by the fan. Tell me how I rate by sending your score from one to ten to kfabian.kathynotes@gmail.com.
