Clean up:)

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

Finals

Hey guys,

So here's the final list that you need for your final.

Please have your job folder with all these items:
1. invoice
2. design proposal
3. contract (customized to this job)
4. two sets of roughs and approvals
5. finals in folder as well as frames (need this because only keeping your folder this round...you may pick them up on Wednesday afternoon after design history)
6. bid spec sheet

Your final must include a magazine ad (must be formatted to the magazine that you choose to put it in...be specific about demographic of magazine that you choose must match the feel of the campaign), poster (11x17), guerilla advertisement (this can be a photoshopped photograph printed out - remember the guerilla must link to the style of the campaign and use the environment in which this is placed.

Also please have a file folder ready to be moved onto the department harddrive of your work for the semester. You will not receive a final grade for your work without this archive of the semester. Please have that with all your projects for the semester. Will accept pdf files but preference of shot physical material please to look good on our website. Those that are resubmitting your portfolios for a grade boost must turn in the items that received low marks and the original grade sheet so I can see what were the issues in the first place.
