Aha, finally we have a creative exhibition in Medan! *hooray hooray* The “Creative Avenue” event, showcasing the design and advertising portfolio of Lumut Communications, was held from 5th to 7th June at Grand Swiss-belHotel.

I went there last night before headed for dinner with family. The ambiance was great. The way they arranged everything was wonderful, notice how they use the neon glass (whatever it is) to showcase the design. Overall, it’s a very inspiring creative showcase.

And, it is (or should be) an eye-opening experience for people, whom doesn’t come from (graphic) design and advertising background. Cause the existence of (graphic) design and advertising isn’t really that powerful in Medan, although we have tonnes of billboard and banners in the town. That will be another story on another post.

Anyway, there is two things lack from the showcase. First, there was no promotional items for the visitors. You see, on the exit way, there was a table and guest book. I was expecting to receive promotional tote bags or pens (lame, I know, but better than nothing) or other creative thing, but no. I forget whether they handed some off-topic-postcard to my brother or nothing at all. Not that I so wanted to get a free stuff, but hey, a promotional item will make visitors remember about your event, no? Second, the showcase area and the number of portfolio was not huge enough. I expected to see more actually.

Picture of the day. The auntie at the left hand side is not part of us though.

Story behind the picture: waiting for 5 minutes and the lift hasn’t reached the level yet, my eyes looked at the lift’s door which was covered with huge mirror, took out the digicam and snapped.
