Good work is neat work

Good work is always recognised
by the quality of the colouring in.

Nice things should be discreetly
 hidden behind pot plants and
            drapes.
“I respect your work
and have pinned it up
carefully”
“I respect your work
ever such a lot and
I’ve window mounted
it on black sugar
paper”
“I respect your work
amazingly so I’ve
double mounted it on
black with a purple
piece as well”
“You will never believe
how much I value your
work. It is beyond
comprehension.
It is therefore on black
and purple and yellow”
“I respect your work so much I hardly
know what to do next. I have covered
the wall with wonderful orange hessian
at £30 a roll and put a gold border
round the edge”
“I respect your work to such a
incredible extent that I am
going to swathe it with my old
curtains.
You will be so thrilled that
I’ve done this that you will
want to do lots more literacy”
Curiously Nick Serota has
declined to use his old curtains
 to enhance the display at the
        Tate Modern.

Although Tracey Emin has used
        her old sheets.

Grids and guidelines
Basic Graphic Design
• Like paintings pages are designed with an
  underlying grid. This holds all the elements
  together and provides consistency through
  the publication.
• A grid is usually defined as a number of
  columns. These range from a simple one
  column grid to a complex magazine grid
  which might use 8 or even 16 columns per
  page.
one column




margins (or white space) defined
Masthead
           A simple two column grid.
            Suitable for a variety of
            purposes. Stable, clear,
            if rather predictable.
Masthead
           A simple four column grid.
            A four column grid is
            easily developed from a
            two column grid.
Masthead

           A four column grid.
            In this example text and
            graphics are one, two
            or three columns wide.

            Some magazine layouts
            will use an underlying
            grid of eight columns.

Bigger Issues?
Why Display?
Display can be used to:

• provide a visually stimulating
  environment
• reward achievement
• provide information
• illustrate, exemplify and illuminate the
  curriculum
• convey instructions
Display can be used to:

• stimulate interest, enthusiasm, curiosity
  and questioning
• establish and define high expectations
  and standards of work
• reflect and define attitudes values and
  behaviour
• affirm the class and school ethos
• influence behaviour
Display can be used to:

• reinforce learning
• impress headteachers, parents and
  Ofsted inspectors
• be used to help children discuss their
  work and evaluate their success
• be used to illustrate targets and
  standards
• present images and artefacts for study
  and appreciation
Display for a reason
• A display is not the ancient craft of pin-
  board decorating.
• It should have an educational purpose -
  or why bother?
• The function should determine the
  aesthetic and the design.
• Some types of display are:
Displays which celebrate
childrens’ work
• present the WORK simply and effectively
• eye is drawn to work not to the display
• text gives context and reason for
  celebrating it (indicates learning
  outcomes?)
Displays which demonstrate,
inform, illuminate, illustrate
• are like pages in books & magazines
  -which provide good models
• that is they use images headings and text
  carefully to convey meaning
• have a clear function in the learning
  environment, such as asking questions,
  reaffirming information, defining
  relationships etc.
                                        e.g.
Displays which enthuse and
celebrate the work of a class
• for instance the Christmas displays seen
  in December
• often done with, or by groups/classes
• these may legitimately be decorative,
  frivolous, creative or theatrical
Displays which accompany
learning
• some displays keep pace with learning
  they could be an evolving resource or
  reference collection
• they could become a class scrap book or
  sketch book
• they are unfinished and possibly
  disorganised
Displays which decorate

• some displays simply decorate
• sometimes they reflect the ethos of the
  school (or confirm values of orderliness,
  neatness, discipline, hard work) -
  sometimes not
• teachers often put a lot of effort into this
  type of display
             time = money (buy some posters instead?)
Displays which use drapes

• These displays show that the teacher has
  been on a display course or read a book
  about display.

In a nutshell
It helps to know about the invisible grids
that can give visual coherence to a
picture, graphic or display.
Once understood these rules can be
broken.
Displays should have an understood
educational purpose.
Form should follow function.
