Friday Critique 

Please have your poster under glass and hanging in the front lobby of the library. The nails will be up by Thursday night so please place is under clean glass and ready to critique. Critique will start at 11 am sharp in the lobby so please do not delay. We will then move the critique to the PAC hallway where your stand-ups will line the main hallway. Please dress in business professional and be prepared to discuss the work and how it relates to the book's themes and will drive people to library to read it. Because this is a critique for clients, please dress in business professional but keep in mind that you will be walking around campus.

We will be turning in the job folder materials on Monday so not everything will be piled into Friday. The requirements for that will be posted on Friday on the blog.

Your work must have the following qualities:
Poster under glass - 11x17, framed, can be cut down or white border left intentionally, but should look intentional if kept.

Poster should have the title of the book, the characters and etc. in film font and should have a tag line that drives them to the Logos.

The standup should be of movie size height. No less than 4 feet tall. Should have a similar look and feel to the poster that they can be linked. Should have a tag line that drives students to read the books at the Logos. The standup will need to be placed anywhere in the main hallway of the PAC. Try to avoid areas that it will get confused with sculptures work that is out.

Also if you could please email Andrew Graham with your numbers for your posters. We didn't have the master list as to who made what. The quicker we get this back the quicker we can wrap up the poster sale material.

Please be working on your stand up and your finalized poster. Practice tiling before hand. Would print  before class. Our printer is slow as we are finding to tile.

Wednesday, March 9

Please have your items under glass so that you can see the front and back side of the piece. This means two copies under glass. Due to the broken nature of our printer please get this printed out in university services. Make sure to print your envelope on 11x17 set up and your letterhead also on 11x17 so you can them down. Use scotch tape to make sure everything fits in frame. Use the frame at horizontal so that you can get everything in. No need to make another final for your job folder since the printer is broke and you need two copies in your frame. Dress up for this critique, but no design summary is required. Want you to spend your time working on the proposal and the branding guide on Friday.
