Monday, Nov. 30

Please finish your stop motion for Monday. Be prepared to work on Juff most of the day. We have some final changes to do to the table of contents, one last article and bios to add. So don't plan on having Monday during class to work on the stop motion like we had thought. Too much to finish up with the JUFF. The editorial board will be here at 2 pm the work individually with you all to make the edits.

Good luck and have a wonderful break!

Friday, Nov. 20

Your type stop motion will be due on Friday at the end of class. We have a couple more things to layout and compile for the JUFF so be ready to look those over. See you then!

Wednesday, Nov. 18

Please have your typography stop motion ready to look over the stop motion and the typography hand drawn logotypes (3 a person). We will put them together at the beginning of class.

Amanda if you could please draw three logotypes of words of objects (example - shoes) and superimpose on photo of object. Have these ready to look over in class on Wednesday.

We will be going over to have editorial sessions with the board of the Juff on Wednesday. Please have all your files ready to look over when you get a chance. Thanks!

Friday, Nov. 13

We are narrowing this down to just the book cover assignment. No more website or internal chapter. Please have the different looks for the cover - including spine back and flap printed out for class on Friday. No less than two different looks. We will discuss roughs and direction on Friday. Assignment will be due on Monday, Nov. 16. Must have on hard cover book for critique.

Wednesday, Nov. 11

Please have some printed out roughs of full cover - this includes spine, front, back and interior flaps. Concentrate on this. We will discuss options for deadline for project on Wednesday. Won't be Friday just because of the JUFF slowing us down. Will keep working with JUFF to refine copy as we do this so keep both projects in mind as you work. You will not receive a final grade for the JUFF until final project is turned in to the client. All this progress work contributes to your final grade.

Monday, Nov. 9

Please print off your Juff material for class on Friday. Have it all printed off and completed please. We will format together and send off to the editorial team on Monday.

Please have some thumbnails and some progress on your book covers and websites. Visual briefs for covers and websites should be printed. You should have good progress on thumbnails and be starting on your roughs. Should have some documents moving toward roughs by the start of class on Monday.

Friday, Nov. 6

Please be working on your JUFF files. Hoping to have it just small format changes on Friday so come with them already set in the indesign file to class. Please get started on thumbnails, visual briefs for your book cover and website. Now…just a reminder book covers include backs and interior flaps. This is a hard cover book that you are designing not a poster. The critique will have a hard cover book stand in with your cover as a model on it.

See ya Friday!

IN CLASS - November 4th

Okay guys, so I'm going to be in critique with Graphics One in the PAC. I will head over to the lab as soon as I'm finished but you all need to use this day as a work day on the JUFF.

Congrats to Amanda for being chosen on the look of the cover and website and Song for being chosen on the interior treatment! Now we have to combine the two looks as a team.

Here are the notes that I have from the editorial board.

Cover - We need to take the title Journal big and then the sub information - check out logo from last years, no abreviation of JUFF on title. Try it in the san serif type and try one in the Baskerville see what works.

Need to change the blue to red - Amanda do what we talked about. Will have a chance to discuss design again with editorial board.

Back needs white version of the logo.

 Website - Please make one solid black with photo on top and bottom border. Smaller navigation buttons. Please make the logo that you choose for the cover extend to website. We will get information for them that is current. Please ask Anna to supply you all with that info when you get a chance.

Interior - Song they loved every style you treated the type. Loved the footnotes and body copy. Way to knock block quotes out of the park. Match the headline for Amanda's and the byline treatment to your style. Page numbers loose the circle and keep placement.


Biggest thing today is take google drive info and start laying out. Song you will want to fix the file with the information that you need to update and then share the file with the other team members. They will use the document that you've set up since all the styles are there. Print as you go...important to see stuff on paper to fix mistakes.

I will check in with you are soon as possible after critique. Don't forget to be ready to talk about book cover options today. We will have a work day on this material on Friday as well.

Wednesday, Nov. 4

Please have in mind an idea of a book that you would like to redesign the cover. The cover that it currently has is not as interesting or eludes to the story as it could be. Bring an image of the cover and research to class on Wednesday.

We will get started on the JUFF files on Wednesday. Be ready to start laying out. I will start class with the Graphics One critique in the PAC so you will be charged with started to layout the articles according to the styles at the start of class. I should know as early as tomorrow as to who has been awarded the job. I will head back to class after I finish the Social Cause critique with graphics one and we will start talking about the book project and what we need to finish with the JUFF then. Friday will be a work day on the JUFF as well and more progress on the book cover.
