Critique on Thursday
Hi guys,
It's here - final critique. Thursday! You can celebrate with pizza with AIGA afterwards but for now...this needs to be your focus. I know I just distracted you with the word pizza.
Okay, here is the order and specifics for Thursday. Extra credit if you can get a response from your client over the project or have them come to critique. Three bonus points can move you up from an B to an A.
You need to have three working copies of all your elements (envelope / letterhead / business card). Two copies with front and back showing of each item will go in your frame. You need to be dressed for critique on this one. Also be prepared to talk about design decisions. You will not have to write a summary for this since you've done all that research on your business beforehand. You need to be able to discuss the functionality of the items for the business and be able to discuss the choices that you made that help reinforce and further the brand.
JOB FOLDER
LEFT HAND SIDE
9 pages of thumbnails / must have front and backs addresses for each of the item. This must be numbered at the bottom of the page.
2 sets of roughs / If you have loose items like small business cards please put them in a plastic baggie and clip into folder. Do not have them loose...I will take off points if this is not taken care of.
RIGHT HAND SIDE
letterhead / make sure that if it is supposed to be full bleed that you cut off the white edge
envelope / working and well crafted
business card / well crafted and on card stock (80 lb stock minimum) / this too needs to be in a baggie
You can catch me at the lecture tonight (Tuesday) at 4:30 pm or the reception at 5:30.

These need to be ready to go and in your job folder. Don't forget you have been forewarned there will be quick review quiz on Tuesday as well. The bulk of Tuesday will be a work day. Be ready for critique on Thursday.

RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH!
Hi guys,
Here is the list of things that you need to have printed out for your job folder for Tuesday.
1. Select 10 business / logos (these can be people you know or people you don't - if you don't know them...more research!)
2. You need to have at least three pages of research on each company (more if good:) If you can't find information about them...look at products (30 printed BW pages minimum)
3. You need to have one page (8.5x11) printed for each company of images that are associated with the company / this is basically idea sketching about where you want to the brand to head EX. If I was doing visual research for South Home Air Conditioning & Heating. I would pull in pictures of product / homes / kids playing / retro air conditioning logos / system maps / wind maps / thermometers / penguins / season icons / snowmen. You will need these printed out in color and 10 pages minimum.
4. You need to have one paragraph per business written or where you plan to take the logo design. These need to be in GillSans 10 pt for the body copy and bold for the name of the business.
*Again, remember that you are not going to be showing these to clients just yet. You will have to be ready to pitch the direction to me. We are trying to teach you about good logo design at the moment...the pitch to an actual client will come later. Also keep in mind some of the harder logos to create original design for - churches / flower shops / photography businesses. If you are going for one of these businesses consider yourself forewarned.
