STAND UPS

Remake your standups to size using the new 400 dpi files. I will update more on this as soon as I hear from our conference call tomorrow. But for now get ready to tile and print before Wednesday. If any changes occur I will post asap after meeting tomorrow.

NOTES AFTER MEETING
Some of these are going to world expo and some are going to the book fair in geneva. Long story short it looks like we will be doing close to four standups for the UN. Whohoo! Christen - we are going to go with yours for the book fair. Water scene with the boat, forrest scene with the chair and mirror, and another scene yet to design for africa will all be for the expo with no characters in it. We will be using the individual standups for that one. Looks like we will use only the characters on the individual ones - Little Red, Caden (little boy) - file coming, Elephant (see Kayli for illustration on this one), Misqueto and the Rat for the individual files. The backgrounds will be also dpi large file they are going to send us.

Cardboard dude to get those has been no where to be found so we are probably going to wait to tile these and assemble until Friday. Please print and number them off so we have the files ready to go just need to put them together.

RESUME & COVER LETTER
2nd draft of each will be due in class on Wednesday to look over and finesse. More you have the more you can edit before the final is due on Friday.

FRIDAY CLASS
Will be a solid work day on the standups. Tiling and putting them together. We will take measurements and make sure they are sturdy to get our quote on the pricing for them.

Wednesday, March 22

Please create as a team two individual standups of the characters. They must have a space for the SDG tile to be switched out. Please have these printed and assembled and ready to photograph in class for Wednesday.

Monday, March 20

Please create three functional mock ups of your collective standup with your groups. The three mock ups should keep the same elements but look different in style and support. Use the file characters that we received today. Fingers crossed we get some larger scans but no guarantee. We are hoping for three functional ones to take photos of to show the UN our direction on Monday.
