Wednesday, Sept. 25th

Hi guys,

Please have thumbnails / research and roughs in your job folder for Wednesday. There will be a folder check that will have an impact on your final grade if this gate is not met. Good job on the movie quotes today will be a nice portfolio pieces. Just keep adding to your Behance as you go along here so you don't have to do it all at the end. Remember critique is Friday!

Monday, Sept. 24th

Hi guys,

Have you movie quote printed and ready to hang on the wall. 11x17 full color, full bleed. You do get credit for these in class assignments so that these off set your bigger grades this semester instead of it being all about the big projects like it has been in the past so make sure that you are keeping up.

UU Film Fest
Union Student Film Festival needs to be the logotype. Again logotype can be the typeface or embellished with images inside the type. Keep working on your logotype and be sure to be working out the thumbnails and roughs as well.

Poster (11x17) needs to have April 5 - 6th / Alumni Showcase and April 8 - 9 / Film Festival. 10th anniversary needs to be featured on the poster somewhere along with the logo and film fest website.

Have a safe trip to Think Tank this weekend and get lots of inspiration. We will do a recap for the rest of us on Monday at AIGA.

Friday, Sept. 21

Hi guys,

Please start working out your logotype ideas and get started on research for your UU Film Fest branding. Those going to Think Tank make sure that you fill out the online form. See you Friday!

Just something to think about when developing a brand / identity. How important is it to you?

Wednesday class

Hi guys,

Make sure that you read pages 36 to 71 in your book. Have your logotype for your hometown ready to critique in class / digital is fine for this one. See you Wednesday!

Monday, Sept. 17

Hi guys,

Make sure you study your typography notes - know classifications, typography systems, additional type anatomy and historical figures (just information...no slides).

Have you drop caps printed on 11x17 and hung up in the room by the start of class. We will do a spot critique with these. Make sure that the look of the letter matches the voice of the story.

Don't forget we have AIGA at 5 pm Monday night - rides to Think Tank, internship story and jobs to give out:)

Critique on Friday

Critique on Friday! Make sure that you dress up and have the cover under glass and the website pages ready to pull up on the screen. Follow the instructions given in class (those not in class make sure you get someone you trust's notes) This part of the assignment for this project so follow them to a T. Don't make me loose my bet:) See you then!

Wednesday, Sept. 12

Make sure that you are working through your job folder. You will need to have some roughs of website and journal cover to show to class on Wednesday. Final critique on this is Friday so make sure that you are making progress to your deadline. Wednesday will primarily be a work day so make sure you come with all the materials you need to work in class.

For Monday

For Monday, please continue to develop out your job folder for the JUFF. Don't forget to start brainstorming for your website as well as the cover.

Hopefully, we will see you at my house on Monday night at 6 pm. There will be taco soup and all the fixings. If you guys can bring pops (translation cokes) and or desserts. Whatever your talent:) Don't forget a blanket to sit on by the fire. Go ahead and park on the street just don't block anyone's driveway. Also if you know any freshman that don't know about AIGA this is a great introduction or any other people that might be interested go ahead and bring them along.

I am Type and journal research for Friday

For Friday, please have a job folder started for your research and thumbnails for your Journal Cover. Do research on the website design inspiration as you go along and hopefully the journal cover will lead into the other. Journal and website final will be presented to the editorial board on Friday, Sept. 14th. More details to come...job folder start first.

I AM TYPE posters
Set of 8 posters / 11x17. Please use a typographic system per poster / 8 total It is up to you what type of font, color and how the essay will be broken up on the posters. The entire essay needs to spread across the 8 posters. The posters need to look like a set despite all the different systems used and standardized colors and font family will help this. Have all 8 ready to view in one pdf for Friday's class. Here is your essay.

I am type! Of my earliest ancestry neither history nor relics remain. The wedge-shaped symbols impressed in plastic clay by Babylonian builders in the dim past, foreshadowed me; from them, on through the hieroglyph of the ancient Egyptians, down to the beautiful manuscript letters of the medieval scribes, I was in the making. With the golden vision of the ingenious Gutenberg, who first applied the principle of casting me in metal, the profound art of printing with movable types was born to countless thousands. I bring into the light of day the precious stores of knowledge and wisdom long hidden in the grave of ignorance.
I coin for you the enchanting tale, the philosopher's moralizing, and the poet's phantasies; I enable you to exchange the irksome hours that come, at times, to everyone, for sweet and happy hours with books-golden urns filled with all the manna of the past. In books I present to you a portion of the eternal mind caught in its progress through the world, stamped in an instant, and preserved for eternity. Through me, Socrates and Plato, Chaucer and the Bards, become your faithful friends whoever surround and minister to you. I am the leaden army that conquers the world. Cold, rigid, and implacable I may be, yet the first impress of my face brought the divine world. I am type!
