It started with an idea…

How can I combine my interests into one single exhibit piece?

To combine my love for UX, vinyls, print, typography, photography and cycling (somehow), into something tangible. It was going through digging crates of vinyls where I got the idea. I wanted to translate that experience into this exhibit.

Inspired by the laneways of Melbourne, I was careful to avoid any pretentiousness by housing my exhibit into a humble object you would find in a laneway – a milk crate.

With minor details in the exhibit thrown in for those who explore, the aim was to bring the delight of finding a treasure in a record crate to an interactive exhibit.

The Prep: Cutting

The arduous process of cutting the individual record sleeve.

Spin Right Round

Repurposing old records.

The Product

It took a week to get everything cut up and stuck together. But by the end of the week, the exhibit came together and I was very satisfied with the outcome.

Strikingly Bold

Nothing quite like contrasting colours.

Personal Branding

Included business cards and stickers with each vinyl album.

Posters

One poster was included in each vinyl album. Because I love it when I get something more than just music when I buy an album, translated that here. All images used in the shots were from London, Paris and Melbourne.

Out In The Wild

Took the crate out for a photoshoot, because that's how one is usually found, on a field.

Got some stares whilst shooting this.

Closeups

Looking up close.

Exhibit Time

Display time.

And Out In The Streets

Nothing quite like seeing it in a dark laneway.
