The exhibition and project has been a great success and one which I am really proud of. Undertaking something of this size would never have been possible without doing it with Eve and I think that we have really worked well together. Having the same understanding and liking of print, along with the same ideas of what we wanted to produce, helped push along the project and deliver on the final exhibition. I think as a pair it is a great opportunity for what we did with Dialogue and it showed others around us and in the local area what we could produce - not to mention it was done on a budget as we are students.
I have really enjoyed the whole process of the project and working on such a hands on project. Displays and displaying work has always been an interest of mine and being able to combine it with other areas of design which I really enjoyed brought together a great project for me.
For the future me and Eve have both said that we would love to carry on the project and still keep working as 'Yoke'. The concept which we created for this exhibition, has a great way of developing into a series of exhibition, as we can run it in the same way but change the theme each time. Now we have done the first one, we know what to do and what not to do next time, also having all the resources and materials from this one will be good to reuse for future ones. I think by doing this, we have created an audience for it and possibly interests from people that could help us further.
We are both planning in staying up North after uni and getting jobs, so this could be something we do outside of our jobs. I think things like this need to be present in the North, especially Leeds as there isn't that much going on in terms of what we did. We have spoke to Amber about being apart of Leeds Print Festival next year, which would be great if that did happen.
I think for the time being we have both agreed that we want to carry on the project and do future projects and exhibitions. At the minute finishing uni is our priority, but after that I think we just take it by ear and see what happens. This has been a great first stepping stone and just the start of something great I believe.
