Posters that 'Stand Out'
Another large part of the exposition set up is the actual content. What you put inside an exhibition and the theme or style you present is also very important for the overall look. So I thought I would do some research into what actually stands out in terms of a poster and how much it can influence or change your presentation when you have an eye catching poster.
Bellow are 50 examples of stunning posters which stand out or have originality within them that set them aside from the crowd.
I saw this pink poster which was made in illustrator using vector graphics, you can tell the difference between vector images and raster images. The face has been painstakingly drawn out in a tonal form and applied against a pink background which pops the image out significantly. The text is also a nice touch and it being white bring another area of contrast.
Done by the same artist as above, this poster also has a great feel to it and the vector image yet again brings out the woman's face with such clarity and the gold font compliments the green and lighter background quite effectively.
The glow of the purple arrow create such an intense focus within this photo and the detail and lighting of each character compliment the dynamism of this piece.
The 'Big' Question... A1 or A2?
A question that I have been pondering for quite sometime now, is whether to use A1 or A2 for my main poster of the game. I decided to get practical and set up a replicate experience of what the showcase might look like. Getting the right measurements of 7 foot by 4 foot, I then set up two ties and a measuring tape to replicate the experience.
As you can see from above, the A1 compared to the A2 is quite a significant leap of size.
Due to this, I decided that it would be best to stick with A2, especially considering that a computer would also need to be installed in between, this seemed like the smartest option.
Business Cards that 'Stick Out'
Another topic which I take great interest in terms of being creative and trying to stand out is the way you design a business card. This is essential, as it is the only thing that the people visiting your work will take away with them and I feel it is common that they will forget about a lot of the work they have seen, particularly who's work was who's. By having a business card, it reminds them exactly who it was that they spoke to or the work that they saw during the exhibition.

The concept of a film set prop as a business card, this is really smart.
Creating a business card that is also an art isle is a great way of saying what you are creatively capable of. It could also be put up at that person's house work desk.
Cards with a bottom rounded corner to create the shape of a glass with milk or water. A creative execution of physical form.
A business card that folds up into a standing business card. The contrast of the three colours red, white and black caught my eye here.

A business card within a business card, I think I will create something similar as this is really eye catching and smart.
A card that connects with design and colour. The simple use of black, green and white work really well here.
A card that is able to glow in the dark, I feel this would come in handy when networking at night.
A card with a hidden meaning of greeting someone or revealing a company name. I like the use of black, red and white here.
A business card that is partly see through and shaped like a motherboard, this I feel is taking the concept to another level of perfection and design innovation.
What an awesome resource of business card designs.
