Symposium Day

Hi guys,

No class today. Go support your friends at Symposium. DMS students will be in Jennings while a majority of the Art students will be in the PAC. Also use the day to work on your client project. Don't forget that you are going to need. Project Proposal Acceptance / Art Approval / Contract / Invoice with hours for the paperwork side of things. Don't forget about research / visual briefs.

FOR THURSDAY....WE WILL MEET AT 8 AM IN THE DMS LAB PARKING LOT. Our first trip is to Oden. A group will be leaving from Org Com class to head to our second location at Toof Printing. You will have to check with Abby Winters to see when that group is leaving. I need drivers to assemble. I will pay for your parking for the day as we go. Bring money for lunch at Central BBQ. We will hopefully get back no later than 5:30 pm. See you Thursday!

Tuesday, April 16th

For Tuesday

Please have your contract / design proposal / thumbnails / roughs / job approval sheets to sign in your job folder and ready to go for the RIFA project. I have been approving them over email if you would like to get a firm nod on things before you start on roughs.

You also need to be thinking along the same lines for the Environmental Stewardship campaign. I would probably have a design proposal / contract / visual brief ready to go for that material as well on Monday if it was me. Again, remember your timeline for these items...all in your hands how fast this can go through the process.

Critique for RIFA will be Thursday at 1 pm. I know that we have the ceramics workshop that day and you are excused from morning classes I ask that you leave quietly from the workshop and be dressed for critique in the DMS lab. Each of you will present the material. Please coordinate your pitch to the client accurately so that each of you has an equal amount of time in front of the client.

See you on Tuesday!
