GD I for Thursday, November 29

Due at the beginning of class:
(2) fully realized designs for your Type History Poster. You should have one InDesign file for each of your two typefaces. One file should be the design for one typeface, the other file should be the design for the other typeface.

Have all files saved to a flash drive and copied to the desktop of the Teacher Machine in the front of the lab Room 217 BEFORE class begins at 11:00. This is so we can begin class critique promptly at the beginning of class. As a group we will discuss the work and make a decision about which of your designs are the strongest with recommendations for improvement.

Following the critique, I will do a demo on printing and mounting your poster so you can turn it in at the beginning of the exam period this coming Tuesday, December 4 at 11:00.

Also, bring your textbooks to class for a brief review for the final exam. The exam will cover the same information as your Mid-Term.

Note: in order to print and complete mounting of your poster before the exam time, please note that the Print Lab on the second floor will be heavily used this coming week as all classes using the lab will likely have final projects due. There is a lab assistant (Andi) who will be there to help you with technical problems. Check her schedule on the door of the lab to see when you can expect her assistance.

Exercise common sense and wise time management, knowing that the lab will be very hectic and the printers may not be at your immediate disposal at all times. Do not expect to run in there and print everything you need in 15 minutes.

Supplies you will need to complete mounting of this project:
• 13" x 19" Epson ink jet paper, several sheets until you get the best print you can
• black foam core board, minimum of 18" x 24" size. Note: your final print will be trimmed down to 12" x 18". You will then mount on black foam core board with 3" on all sides. If you buy a sheet that is already 18" x 24" it will have rough edges that are unacceptable which you will have to trim down. Buy a sheet of foam core that is LARGER than this so you can trim down yourself.
• dry mount/Letraset Permanent Studio Tac, Double Tack for mounting. It is unacceptable to use spray mount or pieces of double-stick tape. The mounting material MUST cover the entire surface of your print.
