Photos from the exhibition are coming soon...I was trying to uplkoad them from home, but my internet is way too slow...

yayyy

Its all finished and up and ready to be seen. Yay! It looks super fantastic - I'll make sure we have lots of photos to post on Friday.

Now for the really important stuff. What's everyone wearing on Friday?

Update

Hey Everyone

The Speedy Sign people had trouble reading some of the files but we sorted it out in the end. They run off very old software and neglected to tell me all the details of the file requirement but I went back and made sure everyones was good.

Also it is more like a clear backed sticker with the vinyl lettering attached if that makes sense...the lady I spoke with has told me many different things but everything will look good in the end, so no one stress.

At the moment I am waiting to hear back from them about the two files I had to email from home, and once they have those then it should go ahead.

I found cheeeeep vinyl!!!

Hey Guys

The place with the stickers has a turn around time of a week and so I tried finding something better. And I found a place that will give us a group discount with a vinyl lettering transfer.

there is a $45 start up cost but each A3 will cost $17, so if everyone pays $21 (depending on how many people want it done...so bring along about $25

We will have our lettering back on Friday if I get the files to them on Thursday but we just have to leave them over the weekend before applying them to out projects. If you want any extra stuff done I will be going to the place straight after our meeting so come along if you want extra stuff done and can be done with all our work.

This place is Speedy Signs in New Market

MJ with colour

Not sure whether to go with a fading effect or a more stronger style...? There will be handwriting in the coloured area so that's something I need to consider.

Mission Statements

Hey Everyone

I have phoned around all the places Chris suggested and they all gave me the specifications for the vinyl lettering and it costs roughly $80 per A3/statement and the smallest lettering they can work with is 10-12mm which is actually really big for the lower case lettering.

I received other options such as printing the statements on clear plastic which has no minimum requirements or get A3 clear backed stickers made with the statements on, which only cost $15 each!

There is a couple of day turn around so I personally would like to go with the plastic or stickers so we get the statements in good time before the exhibition. And we can receive a discount for a group print!

Let me know what you guys think. And start getting your statements together. We will have a meeting on Thursday (time to be confirmed) to hand in money and files...Shall I send a template round to everyone??? check your AUT email and also let me know if the template will work.

LineDotLine site almost up

Incase you haven't checked recently the LineDotLine website is sort of up. It doesn't seem to be entirely finished as at the moment you can't view each student's work. But hopefully soon!

so restful

Just some playing around in photoshop with applying to surfaces. It's pretty loud.
Figured I hadn't posted in a while! I'm going to have a few images of possible applications in my final display, though hopefully the fabrics in real life should have the most impact.

I'm going to be printing my swatch book this week and working on my physical exhibition things like measurements and hanging and fun stuff like that.

Vinyl mission statements

Hey Everyone 

I think It would be smart if we all sent our mission statements to the same place as one big project to see if we can get some kind of discount. Is it possible for everyone to have their mission statements done this week Wednesday? and one of us could go get a quote or something?

Century Gothic...kerning & leading

same sizes but with 3 spaces between name and body copy. and the body copy has 12pt size and 16pt space between the lines. Better???

Work-in-progress...

Here's four out of the six posters I am doing, (In order = MJ, Layne Staley = Alice In Chains, Janis Joplin and Andrew Wood = Mother Love Bone). The basic layout is here but the final images are still being completed.

The overall colour-schemes will be black and white like they are now but there will be some colour added to the backgrounds of the final posters. Also still to be added are the "lyrics" in proper handwriting and each artists signature/autograph to the background.

stands???

Hey Does anyone know if we have some stands for publications and other stuff from the 3D lab, or are we supplying our own? check out my fabric :)
