Things to do ...

Greetings collaborators,
Please read the previous post which has notes from the last exhibiting meeting.
Collectively and individually you will all need to start making notes about what has to be done in order to achieve a professional end of year show.
These notes will need to be compiled into a single document - think Maeda's SLIP - on Google docs and deseminated to the group.
We will need comprehensive plans that detail what has to be achieved, how and by whom....?
Please bring this collated and collaborated information to class on Tuesday 15.
Cheers Julie

Announcing ... POINT, the logo



A big thank you to everyone for their considerable contributions and effort to get the new logo designed and ready for production. I realise it was a bit of a step learning curve at times ... welcome to the real world - where design actually has to communicate conceptually, visually and as be delivered to a client! You all collaborated and did it! Well done.
