You've made it!

Hey guys!

Can you believe this is the LAST day of class? YAY! You've made it this far and by this time next week, you'll be able to enjoy all the benefits Summer vacation can bring.

Just remember that our Final Critique is on Wednesday, May 4 at 10:30am in the mac lab. This is the day when you also need to submit a PDF with high resolution photos of your Digital [Font] journal with a hi-res JPG/PDF of all 4 type projects you worked on this semester.

If you want to resubmit a project, make sure to do so by Wednesday. Put the new file in the CD, name your file as a resubmission and make sure that you inform me that you're resubmitting a project. Projects must be resubmitted the exact same way you submitted them the first time. [see assignment sheets if you're not sure how you need to submit it].

See you on our final critique!

Homework_Due on March 29th

Homework:

Repeat the same modular grid in three 3 pages (8.5"x11").

Arrange running text in different ways in each page. (dummy or real text should be 10pt size, whatever alignment you want)


***Bring STAPLED BW printouts showing the grid (you can make a screenshot COMMAND+SHIFT+4, then click and hold mouse button to select the entire artboard). Use the software guidelines as your grid lines, so, in the end you'll print the 3 screenshots of your artboards.

What you must bring to class right after the break_3/22

Spring break will be a good time to gather all written information you'll need in your brochure. You can copy and paste it from the landmark's or tourist attraction's website and also create your own copy to complement it, if necessary.

Remember that you have to have at least 5 sections (About us, Annual events, Why contribute, etc). See post "Brochure_checklist" and assignment sheet)

Also, after the break you'll need to bring a full size dummy/mock-up with your final layout "indications". In other words, you'll need to indicate with simple lines how text is going to look like in your brochure - number of columns, column width, height, where the 3 words are going to be located and how, etc. It must look like something like this:

However, your layout must be indicated in a full size dummy of your brochure NOT sketched in a flat piece of paper. We must be able to hold your brochure in our hands and "experience" how it is going to be folded, how text is going to behave, etc.
