Tuesday, May 3

THIS IS THE DAY - Capstone projects need to be up, finalized and ready to critique. MAKE SURE EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD AND PROFESSIONAL. THIS IS A BIG PART OF YOUR GRADE!!

Not requiring a job folder. Just final project on this! Be ready to talk. No need to dress up, will just be us looking at the work. Focus on putting out the best quality work, the rest will fall into place. Good luck! We will look at Dr. Halla's work at the end of the critique.

Also don't forget to send the RockNRide material onto the Star Center. Make the changes and CC me on the email to Sherri and Jon. Ask if they need anything else...if not we will get the job folder ready to look over on Thursday.

Please meet in Jennings 225 for class today to hear fellow art students symposium projects. We will jet out after one of the presentations to get a recap of work (please bring computer files of final capstone works on laptops to review), talk about status of the RockNRide, read over pitches for Dr. Halla's brand. Start work on the job folder for your Dr. Halla work. Please be keeping track of your hours for the RockNRide project so you can give a good invoice at the end of it.

We need your finalized pitches for the storyboard for RockNRide on Thursday.

Becca - Brittany will be sending you the poster pdf for RockNRide please use the logo and appropriate graphics for your materials and start to have roughs to look at for the assigned material printed for your job folder on Thursday. Brittany - please have the same.

Brittany's Mt. Torch design was chosen by the Torch staff. We will be working on the Torch material on Thursday so please meet in the lab instead of my office. We have a perspective transfer student attending class so don't be surprised when the class population doubles.

Brittany - Keep working on your capstone. Finalize your business card and letterhead look. Decide on look for website and newsletter. Keep clicking along on your personal project.

Becca - I need to see some finalized layouts. Like I said make sure that these have the elements needed be a design magazine. Start working on your front cover design even if its on a dummy photo for now. We need to see some designs as well as the photos. Go back to your magazine notes to see what are some of the elements to include. Keep going on your personal project.
