they are up:)
Alright, they are up and going in the hall and hopefully you've got your guerillas up as well. The posters are looking good all in a pretty little row. What is not looking so hot is my inbox. Pretty empty guys. This is part of your grade. Get those pics in! We will be heading straight over to the hallway for critique on so please meet over there instead of the classroom. We will be checking out your pt. of display and your posters for critique. The guerillas will be graded in photograph form. Some I've seen in person some I haven't so make sure you take good photos and send them. MUST HAVE TO GET GRADE!!! ALSO DON'T FORGET TO SEND YOUR SUMMARIES BEFORE CLASS TIME AND CATCH YOU SKETCHBOOKS UP!! BRING THE SKETCHBOOKS TO CRIT - WILL DROP OFF IN MY OFFICE AND THEN WILL DO CHECK. Again do a quick check before your crit to make sure everything is where you want it. I'll see you then and good luck.
just to provide clarity
everything must be photographed / poster pdfed and sent digitally to me by five tomorrow. the posters will go up replacing your identity project in the hall. must be under glass by five saturday. also your point of display must be in place in the pac hallway (or if you are placing elsewhere please let me know when i go on the hunt at 5 pm on the dot). i will be trolling to see if things are in their places and not violating union standards and becoming fire hazards. the guerillas must be in place / proven with the photograph...i can't hunt them all down...but please leave them up and see what kind of response you get from them. again please make sure that everything is approved if going into someone else's area. if you have any questions drop me a line. hopefully this clears up any bugs that anyone might have had concerning details.
the five o'clock hour on Saturday
Okay guys...so here is the scoop. At 5 o'clock on Saturday please send me your photos of your guerilla and point of display and pdf of your poster. I won't be hunting for your guerilla but will be excited to see them around campus when we stumble upon them...make sure you get them cleared with the people whose space you are invading. As far as the photos please have the photos at 5x7 and 300 dpi in jpeg format. These are going to be included on the blueray dvd that is going to be for sale. GETTING THESE IN ON TIME IS ESSENTIAL part of your grade for the checkoffs and will knock you down points if not met. The point of display must be up in the PAC hallway by 5 pm. If not at that location please let me know. I WILL BE CHECKING AROUND CAMPUS FOR THESE. Your poster must also be up and hung in the hall underglass as well. The director's choice will be moved into the union station lobby for the festival itself.
Critique you will need to be appropriately dressed for the presentation, design summary needs to be e-mailed before class and everything needs to be up and ready to be viewed. DON'T FORGET ABOUT YOUR SKETCHBOOK NUMBERS!!! I WILL BE CHECKING BACK! PLEASE NUMBER! Also do a quick check beforehand to make sure everything is up and where it needs to be. If you have any questions please feel free to e'mail me. Good luck and I'll see you on Tuesday!

One last bout of changes. Please read!!!
Again please remember we are dealing with real clients and real deadlines with this so please humor me as there has been an alteration again in the line up. Those working on two halves will be working on Ellen Kay's entry Pretty Solider Sailor Sun. That would be Matt Hughes, Zach Crossman and Ryan Brewer. If u have not had a chance to view the film please contact Kristi McMurray and she will send u a link. Please remember these films have nit been released and should not be released to friends or even other members of this class that were nit assigned to these films. Those who have been switched around on films, I apologize again real clients and I will offer a small amount of extra credit for the additional sketch work that u did for ur first movie assignment. Good luck and have a safe break!
IMPORTANT PLEASE READ BEFORE BREAK!!! LISTS HAVE CHANGED DUE TO MORE SUBMISSIONS!!!
Okay before you go on break...please check this over. I've had to do some moving around of names because we received two other submissions...at this point anything else submitted will not get promoted by the class...but because of this we've had to some moving around. Make sure that your assignment hasn't changed if it has please contact your director...also bear in mind that there might be several of your trying to get ahold of them and they might be out of state....aka Tyler Litton and Caleb Stallings. If this is the case, please start a facebook thread and all jump on that way they are not getting bombarded by you guys messages and can send out all the information you might need to one place. Please be respectful of your directors time and energy put into this film. Don't be pest. Nothing is worse than a pesty designer...pesty clients maybe but pesty designers are worse. So here is the new list. Please tell others to check this before break as well if they haven't seen it. Again 60 sketches of the concepts alternative, pt of display and poster group them together to make things easier on you and number!!! for your first day back.

Friday, March 26
Da Dum....Da Dum, DA DUM, DA DUM, DA DUM - shadow in the water - It's JAWS!!! NO IT'S CRITIQUE!!!!
So here is the low down...no summary for Friday. I'm going to looking pretty closely for craftsmanship and concept for these instead. Make sure that you have everything underglass, little piece of scotch tape goes a long way to holding those babies in there. Also make sure that you dress the part. Don't forget to include the front and back of each piece. If there is a cool funky aspect to the card that only gets the full effect when its presented in not under glass make an extra copy to pass around and get the awe effect. Don't forget about having a full sketchbook and please please number your sketches or I will give it back to you to number!!! Make sure you have the full amount!!!
Over spring break....here's the crazy schedule. Again real deadlines....they are killer. Sometimes more than sharks.
FILM FESTIVAL PROJECT / MUST HAVES
Summary
Poster under glass / 11x17 full color, full bleed
Alternative Promotional Items and or Guerilla Campaign
This could be an alternative ad that makes use of it's environment and placement. See class examples and type in guerilla
marketing in google and see the image list. Other option is an alternative item...you see it for movies all the time...the
godzilla shampoo when godzilla comes out at the theatre, the spiderman toothbrush, the klennex box with barbie on it, or
maybe it's the gamecase for xbox. The catch with these items is if it is an item that is tangible such as the toothbrush or
shampoo, you must consider the packaging as well as the item if it needs it. Ex. the game case also has the game disc.
Again think outside of the box...what gets people's attentions...what goes unnoticed that I can get someone to think is
special because it has my movie. Make them laugh and they are yours.
Point of Display / This can be any size and form...think creatively. This must be present in the hallway leading to the theatre. It can have electricity but cannot block fire exits or be a fire hazard. Everything must be approved by me and your director before going up. Go to the movies...what other class would you have this as an assignment over spring break and take a look around. You can come up with some pretty creative things just by the junk you have lying around your dorm I guarantee it. Put those hand skills to use!
All items must have a cohesive look and branding. Think about the logo type and style of the film before you start plunging ahead on paper. Make sure that you get in contact with your director as soon as possible when you get your assignments.
NO CLASS ON MONDAY, APRIL 5th....
So because of that....
Wednesday, April 7 / 20 sketches for each concept / again three items per concept. Make this easier on yourself / group and number.
Thursday, April 8 / digital roughs due sent in email by 5 pm
Friday, April 9 / work day and final approval must be obtained
Saturday, April 10 / Finals up around campus by 5 pm
Monday, April 12 / CRITIQUE and film festival
I'm still waiting to hear the final results of the film entries...I will post on here as soon as I get them! Be checking! Again...any questions about any of this please feel free to ask, send an email or stop by the office.

Monday, March 22
Monday - Make the changes that were suggested for critique today and resubmit for final grade. If you feel comfy with them as is, feel free to submit the same files. I will grade according to what I see on Monday. Each logo will be worth same point value so make sure that they are all strong.
We will be discussing thumbnails on Monday - these will be due for a full critique on Friday, March 26th before spring break. I'm sorry for the tightness of this schedule but we really need to turn these around before our next project which you will get your assignments for right before spring break. Please bring a camera for class on Wednesday. I'll remind you again on Monday. Here is the info for the Identity project - again take a logo that you have already developed and move it out in these directions.
IDENTITY PACKAGE PROJECT
-You will need a 500 word summary for this one.
-Envelope / standard business size (front and back design space - so you will have to print two)
-Letterhead / 8.5 x 11 (front and back design space - so you will have to print two for your frame)
-Business card / 3 x 2.5 (front and back design space - again two)
-These will be under glass...take your frames out of the hallway. We will put them back up before spring break.
-Also be sure to be dressed and ready for this crit.
While you are thinking about these packages consider the nature of your business. Does it have to be a square rectangle...how to can I use this shape to my benefit? What does my client already interact with? How can I use these relations to my advantage?
BEFORE MONDAY CHECK THESE LINKS OUT TO GIVE YOU IDEAS
