Okay...so we need to finish up those final people that didn't go for critique on Friday. You three know who you are. If you would like a mini personal crit before hand just e'mail me and we will set up an appointment. For those of you who went today, make the changes that were suggested for critique today and resubmit for final grade. If you feel comfy with them as is, feel free to submit the same files. I will grade according to what I see on Monday. Each logo will be worth same point value so make sure that they are all strong.
Also I will check over your sketchbooks on Monday. Make sure that everything is stapled in. Your roughs may be all stapled together (all 20 in a packet) to one sketchbook page to save room. I will be checking for this. Make sure that you have all 200 thumbnails (if you didn't hit it the first time make sure you get it the second), 20 roughs and original logos in color (these can be stapled in as well). Be sure to have this ready to go.
We will be discussing business identity packages on Tuesday - these will be due for a full critique on Thursday, March 25th before spring break. I'm sorry for the tightness of this schedule but we really need to turn these around before our next project which you will get your assignments for right before spring break.
IDENTITY PACKAGE PROJECT
-You will need a 500 word summary for this one.
-Envelope / standard business size (front and back design space - so you will have to print two)
-Letterhead / 8.5 x 11 (front and back design space - so you will have to print two for your frame)
-Business card / 3 x 2.5 (front and back design space - again two)
-These will be under glass...take your frames out of the hallway. We will put them back up before spring break.
-Also be sure to be dressed and ready for this crit.
MONDAY - You need to have the finals of your 10 logos printed out and ready to be turned in.
You also need / 20 thumbs for each package item. Please put 10 per page...I will be picky about this. We will go over them on Monday and get you started for Thursday.
While you are thinking about these packages consider the nature of your business. Does it have to be a square rectangle...how to can I use this shape to my benefit? What does my client already interact with? How can I use these relations to my advantage?
