GD III: GRADING info!!!!

I am working as fast as I can to get grading completed for this class. Just to remind you, some things on CourseDen, if you have checked there today, are COMPLETELY misleading concerning your final grade!  It would be far more accurate to check Monday morning on your grade. Some of the magazines just came in to me this afternoon, so I will be working hard all weekend to consider everything turned in this semester. 

Grades are due by noon Monday. I regret that I had to cancel our individual meetings Thursday but considering the circumstances with not all work being in, it seemed like the best thing to do at the time.

If you would like to meet individually concerning your grade next week I will be around and would be glad to meet. Please email me and we will set something up.

ATTENTION GD I STUDENTS!

Due to a number of unexpected complications related to other classes, it has become necessary for me to CANCEL all individual meetings tomorrow.

I am working to get all grades posted for this class by Friday morning. I will be on campus on Friday, so if you would like to make an appointment to discuss your grade, send me an email immediately. I will be unavailable after 1:00pm Friday and will not be back on campus until January.

Please DO NOT remove your "65 feet long and soft projects" from Room 318 until after 1:00pm on Friday, December 7.

ATTENTION GD III STUDENTS!!!!

Since I don't have everyone's magazines yet for grading, to hold individual meetings to discuss your grades tomorrow does not feel like a productive use of anyone's time. Therefore, I am CANCELLING all individual meetings tomorrow (Thursday.)

You may turn in your magazine by adding it to the stack on the first table near the door in Room 318.  You MUST do this before 2:00pm on Friday or it will count as a "0". 

If there is a reason you do not expect to have the magazine in hand by Friday, you must send me an email immediately.

Final grades will be posted by noon on Monday. I will not be on campus again until January.

DO NOT remove your "65 Feet Long and Soft" projects from Room 318 until after 2:00pm on Friday.

GD V: Final requirements

You must turn in for final grade:

• printed, mounted, assembled and professionally presented results from the three assignments we identified at mid-term as the projects you would pursue for the rest of the semester. Obviously, the specifics of what each of you will turn in will be different. If you have questions of how this applies to you specifically and what exactly you should be turning in, email me immediately and ask!  Include in the email what your three projects are. jhannaford@comcast.net

• For several of you, one of these projects will be the magazine design. All magazines must be printed and bound at P & P.

GD IV: Branding final requirements

Requirements:

• (2) copies of printed and bound brand identity book. I will keep one copy.

• Letterhead, business card and envelope for your brand printed front and back on commercially-available offset printing paper. Letterhead and envelope must be on text weight paper. Business card must be on card stock, the heavier the better. (A lightweight, thin business card is the equivalent of a limp, weak handshake.)  See previous blog postings concerning sources for this paper.

• At least one 3-dimensional object you have created for the brand containing the logo.

NOTE: I have loaned brand identity books from previous students to all of you. You MUST RETURN these books to me on Tuesday.

I have also loaned the textbook "Designing Brand Identity" to several of you. These must be returned as well.

GD Seniors: Final Show requirements

Seniors in the Senior Exit Show

Requirements:

• All flat work must be mounted on black foam core board with 3" borders on all sides. Craftsmanship of trimming and mounting will be closely examined and must be immaculate.

• All mounting must be done with mounting film such as Letraset Studio Tak or Double Tack sheets. Spray adhesive or pieces of double-stick tape are unacceptable. Bubbles or crooked mounting is unacceptable.

• All 3-D projects must be photographed using studio lighting in a professional photo studio setting with continuous backdrop. It is not required to mount and hang a photograph of a 3-D object for the Senior Exit Show if the actual object will be displayed on site. You must turn in a CD with photographs of all 3-D pieces, regardless of whether they are displayed in the show or not. A "3-D object" includes brand identity books, book covers and magazines.

• (5) resumes on letterhead and business cards, printed front and back on commercially available text or cover weight paper as appropriate (see previous blog posting concerning this.) 

•You only need to create one envelope. The craftsmanship of assembly will be closely examined and must be immaculate.

• Clearly labeled CD of all work.
