Degree Showcase (Mirai Theme)

On this November, my course will be having a degree showcase for 1 of our subject, Digital Creativity Digital Futures (DCDF) in college. This is consider as our coursework where we have to come out with different types of multimedia media in promoting a product and ourself as well. So, I have decided on using Mirai Suenaga and Moekana as my theme and product to promote in my degree show later in late November.

The idea already being accepted by my lecturer as I tell her about what I plan to do. First of all, we are given 2 A1 sized foam board to paste our posters on and a computer to show our audience what we have done (might be a website or a flash -something which moved). Then, we have to display our name card on the table. My lecturer said "Try to make a name card which is not a rectangular shaped card. It's too common. Make something different if can". Therefore, there are only 3 main things which are needed during the show. Additional stuffs are optional.

I have decided on doing things as below:
(i) short flash about Moekana and use Sukirai as the background music
(ii) name card with Moekana "Hinomaru" but the Japan flag was replaced by "よこうそ" (yokouso) which means "Welcome" in Japanese and the back of the name card will be details about me. Mostly will be 3" height.
(iii) Mirai-chan plushie
(iv) Mirai in winter uniform cosplay (I will be cosplay as Mirai this time)
(v) postcards with Moekana "Fujisan" illustration
(vi) "Mirai Millennium" foam board and Mirai foam board stick on the front of the computer (might ask for another foam board to put Mirai Suenaga (the one she was sitting where all the buildings at her back) together with both ""Mirai Millennium" and "Mirai" on the same foam board for the computer)
(vii) Poster wise, not really decided on using which illustrations yet because not able to find a HD resolution (for both Moekana and Mirai illustration).
(viii) few Moekana, card sleeves for display
(ix) a stand show "Mirai Nendoroid on sale now" with real Mirai Nendoroid photo

And of course, I will place a orange table cloth before I put all those things. I will hide the keyboard and mouse behind the foam board. Just don't want students to have too many hands until lost something. Beside, my lecturer said "Make sure your things are for display only and don't allow the students to take your things." This is the reason why I am not going to display Mirai figma (although I got 1 at home). She said this as well "You are not allowed to use the original illustrations but you can trace them and use them as your work". Which meas I have to use Photoshop to do the tracing for all the posters I am going to make. @-@

Out of so many things, there are only few things I am currently in the process of completing. 
This is the front of my name card. It will be appear as the shape. Not the rectangular shape. 

This will be the back of my nae card where my details will be there. The orange part will be cut out (except for my details)

 
This is the plushie. Since it's still not wearing any clothes, I wrapped like a baby. My Mi-chan.

Other still in the process. Hope to finish them as soon as possible because the showcase fall on 27th November 2012 in SEGi College Kuala Lumpur (my current college). Although the location for the showcase still not decided and yet to be confirmed, the time for the showcase is from 9am to 5pm.

Hope I can get more illustrations from Mr Danny Choo for this showcase so I could get good marks and successfully promote both Mirai Suenaga and Moekana in my college.
