Hello everyone,
I hope you all had a nice spring break! Please read carefully:
No class 4/20
Reminder: we will not be meeting this week, Thursday 4/20. The day follows a Monday schedule.
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.
Homework DUE 4/27
- Finalize project Urban Legend booklet (based on feedback, include cover and calendar months).
- Collect research for Project 2 (see handout given last week).
1. One of the articles should be a feature story – about 2-3 pages in length.
