+++FINAL PRESENTATION++++SPECIFICATIONS & NOTES


hello all,

So here are the specifications for the final presentation next week:
- bring in your models
- catalogue & process book
-posters
-invites
-web

for the web: contact nancy, we went over it a bit last class but she can give you a rundown on how to set up stuff, she has it figured out.

I wrote what was required on the board but here it is again in this order (for web)
1) LOGO (import from ai as jpeg, or gif)
2) INTRO TEXT (artist statement / project description) you can do in it indexhibit directly or import a pic of set type from AI
3) IMAGES / NARRATIVE: a sequence of images that illustrate your project narrative (remember you are telling a story) I want these broken down into:
--- space, artworks, pics of environmental graphics applications, catalog pics, invite pics
the point of this is for you to walk away with a portfolio piece that documents and presents your work to the public.(I leave the specific arrangement of tehse up to you)

(check out http://www.indexhibit.org/ participants to see what people have done)
the website is a requirement and we will project it in class / sounds scary (maybe) but its quite easy once you have all your stuff done, which you do, just upload images that tell your story.

PRESENTATION STYLE

above is a quick schematic of how I want you to set up the class space for the final review:
-place the tables so that they form an enclosed space in the center of class
- place your models, catalogue, process book & invite on top of butcher paper (on tables of ocurse) let the paper drop to the fround so it looks clean.
- place your posters behind your pieces, taped on the wall. I don't want you to mount the posters on boards, but rather, use clips and tape those to the wall.
- identifying you section & project: print your name & logo separately on 2 sheets of 8 x 8, mount these on boards and lay them on the table next to your pieces.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
and just to reiterate the obvious:
I want to see the narrative come to life as a whole, so include any additional material(s) that illustrate your story (so, if you have 3 posters, great, 2 invites, great etc)

I'll probably come by 15-20 minutes later to give you time to set up. Be there on time with all your work ready. Very much looking forward to see the fruits of all your hard work!

Any questions welcome
thank u

I am assuming you figured out how to get your materials for bookbinding, if not, do so now.

and some additional inspiration here:
this book is amazing, good reference for design in general & for your process book (also for bold use of type)
