Critique on Tuesday, March 29
Hi guys,
Make sure that you get ahold of your director over break. You must have a 11x17 poster full bleed in color, under glass for Tuesday. Think about matching the feel of the poster to the typography and the look. Don't forget to include the names of the actors / directors and other worker information at the bottom of the poster. Look on dafont for movie poster fonts. Also pay attention to thinking about copywriting/slogans.
You will need to have a summary turned in before class at 8 am on Tuesday. This needs to be at three inches down / gill sans and 10 pt. Please save it as your last name_designproject02. Please be sure to have you poster under glass / portrait style hung up in front of the library in the PAC. We will critique the posters outside of the library on Tuesday. Please meet over there instead of class on Tuesday. Remember to keep your sketches and ideas for the business card project. There is no sketchbook grade for this project so make sure to make the design summarys good.
Note to SCALE - If you would please do a overall film festival poster. This needs to advertise the festival and give the schedule. Try and keep the color scheme that they have going on. Check out www.uu.edu/events/filmfestival for all the details that you will need to include on it. Make sure to have it under glass for Tuesday.

business card package
Hi guys,
Pick one of your strongest logos. You are going to develop our a business package for this one logo. You need 25 thumbnails per item that will be included in the package / 75 thumbnails total / 25 for business card / 25 for letterhead / 25 for envelope. Think about the front and back of these items. I'm including some links to start you thinking outside the box. On illustrator you can find templates for these in the template section to get the dimensions for these items. We will discuss on Tuesday and critique this on Thursday. Also you will be getting your director on Thursday or Wednesday for your film fest poster design so be prepared and stay on top of things this week because these projects are going to start to overlap quickly.
Here's some inspiration for thumbs...

Critique of 10 logos on Thursday
Hey guys,
Have your final 10 logos printed on 8.5x11 in full color. Please make them centered and 5" in proportion(aka if they are a logotype...must be five inches in one direction at least). Make sure that you have five distinct logotypes and five distinct logos. Please format so that only the logo is on the front page. Write your name in pencil on the back on the sheets. You must have you sketchbook completely caught up and ready to be checked. No summary for these. No dressing up. We are just going to be taking in a lot of logos with this critique and quickly building on this for the next project. If you have any questions or want me to check things out between now and critique stop by my office or grab me after or before other classes that you have with me. Good luck!

Thrusday, March 3rd
Hey guys,
Please have two roughs for five your logos translated onto the computer. Those that haven't finished those sketches need to get booking or else they are going to be a bear to get done. Take a look at this link to look at how other people go through the steps of rebranding a company. We will talk about this in class so be prepared.
