Snowstorm Make-up Assignment: 

Because we missed a day of class do to the snow storm back in February, I would like to post the make-up assignment to the blog here. Design the cover of your Calendar and the pages of the 12 months. I ask that you all to set aside time to work on it before our next class meeting. Make sure your work includes each of the following bullets:

• Months of Calendar:
  ❑ Used master pages for repeated elements
  ❑ Updated all months and years to actual content
  ❑ Included brief line explaining main type problem
• Cover
  ❑ The cover should have a typographic solution
  ❑ Work to correct size and proportion: 11 x 8.5″
  ❑ If art bleeds your must allow a 1/8” bleed all around
  ❑ Leave at least 1.5” at top without any essential info (to avoid binding conflict)
  ❑ If you include a bleed – when you go to print you will have to print larger than 11 x 8.5 and then trim it down.

Mid-term Grade

In the next three days you should each be receiving an individual email from me with your grade for the calendar. The grade and feedback will be as a PDF attachment. I am being very critical in my feedback so that you can turn in perfect finished piece. Please read carefully and make all necessary corrections. Please check your CityTech email. I must collect the final, completed Calendar by Tuesday May 2nd.
