Hey guys,
One last thing...make sure that you get all your stuff off the computers in the dms lab. We will be dumping and cleaning off all the art folders this summer so please make sure that you do that or your stuff will be lost to the depths of the trashcan. All you studio people out there...please make sure that you have your computers in the studio cleaned off as well as your studio space. Rob you can leave the couch...but please take everything down off the walls and out of the desk drawers before you head out. That all needs to be done by Wednesday afternoon!
Have a great summer guys! If you need anything letter of recommendation, etc please just drop me an e'mail. It's been a pleasure having all of you in classes! You are all done with graphics now go out and be designers!
Take care!
Ms. Posey

Roughs due for Client on Monday
Hi guys,
Don't forget that your roughs are due to be printed out and included in your job folder for Monday after break. You need to have a signed contract, signed off proposal, acceptance form needs to be included (the signature doesn't need to be on it for Monday but it does need to be on it and shown to the client before moving on in the rough process. We will keep talking about copyright issues tomorrow. P.S. Forgot to factor in Good Friday so everything gets pushed back till Monday and not Wednesday:) Be sure to keep in constant dialogue with the client and move this job through as quickly as possible.

Critique on Monday, April 11th
Critique on Monday! Be ready to present. No copies under glass this time. Make sure you treat this like a valuable document in presentation...think about reading to children a bedtime story. Walk them through the concept and turn the pages to illustrate the concept.
Job Folder - Must haves
1. Job approvals / signed off for both roughs (copy of both roughs included and adheared)
2. Contract / must be signed (don't forget to include the project information)
3. Design Proposal
4. Copy of the original client brief / the e'mail of what they wanted in the first place (these always start the job folder off by the way if you recieve them - or the notes of what the client wanted...usually this is what I put in if I have a phone meeting or client meeting over the project)
5. Bid Spec sheet filled out as if going to the printer for this project
Final Job - Must have 2 copies / one for you/me (this will go in the job folder with me to grade and you recieve it back) and one to go with the client. The client will decide on Monday night who won the job and we will have content to layout in class on Wednesday or Friday of that week.
1. Must have long poem / short poem and long story laid out in the booklet.
2. Must have a table of contents
3. Must have a editors note
4. Must have bios
5. Must contain artwork photos (do not have to be the ones that were given...just a starting point) and bylines with the title of the piece and name of the artist
6. Must be saddle sitched bound (aka stapled in the center with the interior poky posts folded down in the interior of the document and not on the edges where they will scrape anything that comes in their path.)
THINGS TO BE WATCHFUL OF
1. Widows and orphans
2. How does the grid of text move a reader through the document...not just boring modules. How does this add to the overall feel of the document.
3. Do the illustrations invade the text and make the illustrations become more important than the story or artwork? If so dial back so that illustrations become a container and not competition.
4. Allow one photo to be dominant if you have multiple shots on one page.
5. Make sure that you package your file InDesign when you go to print as well as pdf.
6. Watch for the creep. Don't position text to tightly to it or they will sink into it and be unreadable. It's important to make sure that your margins are good and wide around the center area.
7. Account for your table of contents that things match up to your actual booklet and that your editorial staff includes your name in it as well. This is for posterity purposes of this document in your portfolio.
See you all at the ACT conference!

Design Proposal for Wednesday, March 2
Again, writing a design proposal is something everyone does differently. This is why we all have different voices in design and some win clients. I recommend for this first one keep it short. Keep it to information you know or have done research on. We will begin to do more indepth research like some of these proposals for your future projects but due to time constraints on this one and a lot more to cover we will keep this one light. We will be covering a lot of ground with this assignment. Give yourself some soft deadlines for things to make things easier. This proposal will be the first thing you would add to a job folder. It will go in your final folder for this job.
These are some of the best I've found to light your way to writing a good proposal...Remember to answer the questions the WHO WHAT WHEN WHERE AND HOW?

Monday, Feb. 7
Make sure that you come with all your current portfolio images. You need to have your finalized logo as well as benefit statements for your structure. Remember structure alters behavior which changes results. How is your design going to be structured an how is your logo a visualization of that structure. We are going to hit the ground hard next week on the rest of your identity development so be prepared and thinking about how this translates across the board.

First things first
Hey guys!
Welcome back to class and here is your first assignment...please have three logo designs on the computer for your identity ready to go for Friday. Don't forget about how important the sketchbook process is in that. Also in your sketchbook summarize why this is a good identity for you. What does it mean and how does that identify with the characteristics you want a client to take away. Finally in your sketchbook do a little research on the company structure of a place that you want your company to model after. Dig around you will be surprised what you find. Also for Monday, you will need to have all your images of your current portfolio work so we can know what we will have to shoot the following week.
