THE FINAL

Okay so here's the deal...all the printers at Union are conspiring against us. I thought perhaps that we could print it off in the art department if the tiling feature still refuses to work in the DMS lab and after profound beating the snot out of the thing...it still hates me. Anyways...the printer here in the art department is having issues with its roller and only printing out half pages of everything. Wonderful isn't it? It knows just when to kick the bucket. Right before you all need it. Anyways...in honor of the mysterious passing of insanity of all the printers on campus. We are going to be completing a DIGITAL illustration as our final. Please make sure that you are willing to show it on the projector. This in my head has become more of a test / final essay on what you have learned or culminated as far as style. Make it your own. It does not have to be the large / monumental dimensions, but it still needs to function on the screen. I still need your summary of how this answers the question of what is design. Please send these to me digitally since you are having to put them up in the hallway. Have these illustrations ready to go...in your style/ voice by final and we'll critique them then.

ALSO...PLEASE MAKE SURE TO BURN ME A DISC OF ALL YOUR WORK DONE OVER THE SEMESTER. PDF FILES ON A CD LABELED with your name_GD4_2009. This is required for documentation of student work to sum up the semester.

Thanks for your understanding. Sorry about the mess with the printers. See ya on Monday.

Thinking about where to go after graduation?

Here is a pretty interesting and accurate list of job placements and average rent in that city. Interesting thing to consider when you are moving...cost of living vs. salary is an important thing to check out.

Don't forget

One more thing not to forget...have your work packaged on a cd as if you are ready to send to a printer. This means...crop marks...bleeds...etc. This is important aspect to the project.

Thanks!
Ms. Eckley

Critique tomorrow

Hey guys,

Please look over the regulations of what you need...see older post for specifics of the needs of the assignment. Remember to have job folder ready to go. Everything that is applicable needs to be under glass. No double copies required / job folder is enough. Make sure that you have your sketchbook caught up as well as looking good for the day's events. Don't forget to send me your complaint e-mail as well. If you have any additional questions just catch me during my office hours or shoot me an e-mail.
