Robert Violette Project

The 3 day project with Robert Violette was certainly an experience. The theme we focussed on was Fear and Comedy, and my group consisting of myself, Connie, Charlotte, Sarah, Paul and Victoria had satire as our theme. this pleased me greatly as there’s nothing I like more than a bit of satire.

Our final piece consisted of a series of photos depicting the use of satire in popular culture such as TV shows, film, music, politics. It also consisted of a live performance piece by Paul who did a satirical intro to the exhibition and stayed around to do live tours of it for about 2 hours.

The experience was different and I have to admit it was 3 days of hard work and high levels of stress. I personally didn’t feel like I learned anything about designing editorials as the projects format was changed into an exhibition. At times I found RV to be quite friendly but other times about and rude which I found quite unprofessional. Positive aspects included the ability to work as a team to produce a mostly finished piece of work in very little time. Three days from idea’s, through to development and final piece certainly takes it’s toll on you!
