Things to consider for the show

• Catalogue - do we make a catalogue instead of printing business cards and displaying didactic panels?
  
• Online presence - do you have a website? blog? You will need to consider putting images and contact details online before the show. This is generally the first thing people look for in order to/before they contact you.
  
• Email - In reference to the above... If you put your contact email on cards or online then try and change it to a professional address. sparkles88@hotmail.com can be changed to hannahsharpe@hotmail.com, or even better info@hannahsharpe.com if you have an internet domain. Emails can be forwarded from old email accounts to new.
• Mailing list - Start compiling a list of people you would like to invite to the show. This can the start of your official 'mail-out' (Note. Always offer 'unsubscribe' at bottom of mail-outs and bcc contacts)
• Documentation - I showed you examples of my documentation today. Remember that you can miss out on marks if you haven't documented your work properly. If an examiner (who doesn't know you) can't see documentation or previous work, interesting processes, installation techniques etc then they will assume it hasn't happened. If you haven't got a camera then borrow or hire one.
• Installation - After chatting to some of you today i realised that some people aren't comfortable with installing their work yet. Practice installing your work in lots of different spaces (ideally at least once a week) before the final show so that it comes naturally when rushed at the end of term. This can make or break of a good show, it is also something you will need to be aware of for your degree show proposal.
