Happy Holidays Seniors!

Wishing each of you the very best this Holiday Season!
You've had a spectacular fall semester and I'm sure you won't hold back a bit in 2012!
Just make sure you relax, chill out and share special times with your family and friends during this break. I wish each of you the best and brightest!

Don't forget to turn in your CD/DVD by Friday December 9th

I will pick up your work from MODA this week and keep it safely in my office until I see you in January.

Art Basel: Aqua with the Grad Students

I was lucky enough to travel on Friday and Saturday to visit the Art Basel annual event in Miami and got to see a large group of our grad students from GSU showing their work at Aqua. It was fantastic to see their work among the throngs of other international artist. Again, always wonderful to see my students doing so well with their accomplishments and their passion in design and art.

Their work has been well received and many of the grad students sold their work at this event. It's the first year that such has happened in our grad program so it was a nice way for me to view their work in the environment of Art Basel. If you haven't seen the catalog you need to as it was produced in-house at GSU.

Graphic Design MFA students, Jim Chapman, Cat Normoyle and Meta Gary were represented there among the other disciplines from GSU.

What's Due on Tuesday November 6th

Your final video project and Poster in Advertising is due on Tuesday December 6th.
Kirk Sieder from JWT Advertising Agency will be in class as guest critic. Critique starts at 11am so don't be late.

Make sure you bring your final client project ready to show.
You will show your poster first that somehow captures the video you've created for either client (The Trevor Project or Stop Bullying.org) It would be smart to tag your videos with either of the logos. You can also give credit on your videos if you wish.

I would like for you to also put them up on YouTube or Vimeo so others can also see your videos and provide feedback. My plan is to let both organizations know your work has been published (hopefully to get you some more PR...after all, this is an advertising class, right?)

FINAL CD/DVD:
Each of you should prepare a final CD/DVD of all the work you've done this semester.
This includes any comps, sketches or other materials you feel were possibly overlooked during the assignments.

You should have every project and campaign you turned in to either myself, HLN or MODA on this CD/DVD. Animations, openings, print, packaging and other printed materials such as your MODA invitations.

NO CD/DVD, No Grade.

The format is up to you although a pdf would be preferred. Your call on this.
