Final project and Finals

Okay...so I just talked to Willie George and we should have the problem with the DVD drives fixed. You will put your blank CD in and it will pop open a box that will ask you for a region. PLEASE MARK REGION 1!! This is important! You should be able to burn it afterward. If you have further problems please let me know. ASAP so we can get this running before you finals date.

Don't forget you need for your project -
Your box / printed and folded to size
Your bottle / label printed and properly adhered
Your environmental photo / printed 8x10 at smallest under glass (get your posters out of the hallway)

FOR YOUR FINAL
1. Your DVD portfolio / This is of your best work (both semesters - 20 pieces) that you would show for your portfolio if you were to apply for a job. Made with idvd and burned onto a disc. Please mark this as DVD portfolio with your name on the disc. Make sure it runs before you turn it in.

2. A CD of Images / all the projects from the semester. PDF format only for illustrator files and jpegs for photos! The list of the projects is as follows: 1. rebus 2. crest logo 3. logos 4. identity project 5. film fest (all required files) 6. sga project 7. package design (photo of the box, bottle and environmental as well as pdfs of the flat box / label)

3. Resume / designed and printed should have a decisive logotype or mark for you.

ALL THESE ARE DUE AT MY OFFICE AT YOUR FINAL TIME. YOU MAY TURN THEM IN EARLY IF YOU DON'T WANT TO WAKE UP OR WOULD LIKE TO HEAD OUT OF TOWN. THEY MUST BE THERE AT THE START OF FINALS TIME OR THEY WILL BE COUNTED AS A ZERO!!! See you on critique!!

Also don't forget you are required to be at the AIGA portfolio shoot (even if you are not in AIGA) this is a valuable skill that needs to be covered before you continue on the graphic design track or leave it. We will go over shooting in studio setting and without one. Make sure that you bring your work to shoot and your camera if you have one. Also pizza provided by AIGA. It starts at 5 pm on Wednesday in the DMS lab!

For Tuesday

For Tuesday you must have a printed (B&W) is okay rough of both your bottle and your package. You must also come with images / pdfs of the semester and your resume in whatever format you have it in. We will be discussing resume and portfolio design for your final. Make sure that if you didn't make the first sketchbook check that you have your thumbs caught up for the final check.
