Predictably, the vast quantity of work, from so many students from such a big school gives an impressive show, but I was really unimpressed with the overall quality and the actual presentation provided. They've relied really heavily on the little white cube exhibition spaces they have up there, with little or no effort to adapt the venue to best display the work (hey, I say unimpressed, but the is NOT comparing it to LSBU).
The work generally itself was massively reliant on rendering software from almost every design studio, and the quality just wasn't there. Lots of post-apocalyptic monochrome skyscapes with Hitchcock-like flocks of birds menacing the skyline... typical student images.
Models weren't up to that much either, and the scale of the presentations was just weird. Rather than present focal pieces of work as a single panoramic or something, often it was divided up and printed on maybe 3 bits of A3... it just looked a bit tacky in places.
