Week13 – GRA3611

Hello class,

As I mentioned I will not be in class for the last two weeks of the semester because I am at the end of my pregnancy and the baby is due at any moment (!!).  I will no longer require you to physically come to class. Please see the details below about the last two weeks of the semester.
At this point I should have received a draft of your final PDF for the booklet. If you have emailed it to me and did not hear back from me, it means I did not receive it. So please follow up with me. I need to receive this from everyone by Sunday at the latest. I would like to have a brief conversation with you over the phone after I receive your booklet. I was supposed to call some of you yesterday, but ran out of time. I will try to ring you today (Sat).

You then have the remaining two weeks to make any final edits and have the book printed.

Week 14: (May 18th) For this Weds I would like you to go on a field trip to the Art Director’s Club. You can go on your own time at any point during the week. The exhibit I would like you to go see is the:

90th Annual Awards Exhibition
May 11 – 26, 2011

Gallery open Monday-Friday, 10am – 6pm.
ADC Gallery
106 West 29th Street, NYC
http://www.adcglobal.org/adc/events/calendar/

Note: if you can go on Thursday, May 19th, from 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM you will be able to pick up free paper samples from their paper expo show the evening before.

When you hand in your final booklet, I would also like you to include a brief statement citing one designer from the show that you really liked and describe the piece they created – this will count as your attendance for week14.

Week 15: (May 25th) The printed booklets are DUE. I would like you to submit your printed and bound booklet to Ms. Bernard-Hill in N1113. Please include your statement from your visit to the ADC. Make sure you submit your statement and booklet in a self-addressed envelope, so that I can send it back to you over the summer once I have reviewed it. – This will also count as your attendance for week15.

Feel free to email me with any questions.

It’s very exciting to see your projects come to life. I really enjoyed the semester with you. Good luck with the last two weeks of the semester! Have a great summer and I will see you in the Fall.
