Monday, Dec. 3rd

You need to have your Christmas saying up on in the DMS lab if you haven't had a chance to put it up and were absent on Friday. Please have your scavenger hunt graffiti / sign type converted into a stencil spelling out your design mantra word for Monday. Please bring something to spray paint on and make the stencil to fit your object. I'll bring my stock of spray paint but if you would like something special like glitter spray paint, fabric spray paint or cameo you are on your own for supply. Have some fun with this and make it something that you are going to want to keep around. On the more serious side of things...please have your chapel brochure ready to start. You need to have five pages of research, visual brief and well on your way to the first draft by the end of class on Monday. We are going to be quick with this spray paint business so that you can have as much time as possible in the lab. Only more work day after this to produce your final. On Monday we will also talk about the items needed for this semester's portfolio update.

For AIGA on Monday night, please bring a white elephant gift to pass around. This can be a bad design gift or just a regular white elephant gift. Have some fun with it. We will be having ice cream and all the fixings in the lab at our regular meeting time of 5 pm. If you would like to bring a dessert you are more then welcome. My mom always said to eat dessert before dinner so we are holding to the needed sugar rush for the final push. I was going to have this at the Posey house but I figured since you all are probably slammed the week before finals it would be easier for you all to come if you stayed on campus.
