role reversal

Not too happy

I hate the name, I think there were so many others options that would have better suited the group better, HOWEVER I think its gone on for too long, im over it and i think everyone else is too, so maybe we should just give it a go though i feel embarrassed to say that this is our exhibition name, considering there might be possible employers there, i hardly doubt the name is going to help, but thats just my opinion. 

Cant wait to see what others have come up with, to see how you guys got past the 'soup' idea, because i cant :p

RevolveR - rEVOLVEr - Black Hat

Worth Thinking About
Although I like the name HUMAN SOUP. I really dislike FREE RANGE. No loathe is probably a better word. The chook thing stands out like the proverbial (dogs balls). I would hate to be named the year with the worst name. I am sure we can come up with something better. Human soup may not be the best name but perhaps we need a re vote with a few more choices. It seems that the people who like human soup really don't like free range and the people who like free range really don't like human soup. Black hat was another one maybe worth a second thought.

been there done that

HOMEWORK

I also think Que Pasa! is suitable because at that time of the year we will probably be thinking “What Happened!” as time and space is distorted in Diploma world.

Human Soup is another of my favourites as comic relief is always amusing and it’s a clever use of metaphor, yet a difficult one to be socially accepting.

Feona's Brain Storm

the three I like best:
1. Feast of graphics
2. Baited Graphics
3. Polygraphics
Choose Me
Ode (a path or way)
Distended Motion
The Challenge
Ocularly Perusal
Have a look
Oil on Water
Odin
Breakout
Forbidden doors
Wild at Heart
Freaks
Final Notice
Latent Image
Receive
Strine Graphics

The three I like best from last week
1. Studio 16
2. Human soup
3. Que!

I think Que is good because there are countries with a lot bigger population than ours that would type the word Que into their search engin and our page would pop up. That's exciting. The capital of Colombia, Bogota, is bigger than the population of Australia. Even if we choose another name I think we need to consider what will pop up often when people search for graphic designers. Although I like 'Human Soup' I don't think it will be easily found.

Whats in a name ?!# - paula

The old adage of " whats in a name" really had significance in our class room today, whilst trying to find the perfect name for our end of year exhibition. Basically, how do you brand yourself never mind representing 16 different graphic styles & personalities...?

We did come up with lots of names some liked by some, some joke names and maybe a few possible winners.

I liked a few like of the list such as :

Platform 16
Studio 16
suite 16
stained
Que !

My new list is below... top three as listed:

1. Polished
2. Smooth
3. Finished

smooth finish
Shiny
Round
number 16
No. 16
Next...!
fly the coop
what type ?
perspective

I like jess' take on the human soup - HUMANE soup sounds better... still not sure though! I also like collection 16.

Ciao
