At my tutorial on Friday Clinton mentioned the exhibition currently on at the special collections library, and also the resources that are available to us that we should take advantage of while we are still at university....so yesterday Kathryn and I took a trip to the special collections library to look at the original United Colors of Benetton posters as we are both looking at these for our dissertation. We found two of the original promotional magazines for the fall/winter collection 1992; these were not what we were looking for as they did not show the 'controversial' campaigns but they were still interesting to look at. After asking the librarian we found that there were some of the original posters that we could look at, however when she brought them out we discovered....they were billboard size!! this posed a problem as they were far too big to set out and photograph so we had to give it up as a bad job. There are some great resources available to us at our university and the special collections library is definitely somewhere I will visit again.
It wasn't a totally wasted trip as we did get chance to look at the 'Stilled Lives' exhibition featuring work from some of our tutors...Sue, Clinton and Hitch have all got work featured in the limited edition book.
