Class Final Meeting time to turn in your Project 8 files

Our class final is:

Thursday May 9th 11:30 am - 2 pm.  Computer Lab 110 (same as always)

You are expected to be there, with your poster project finished.  It does not need to be printed, but I will need the full resolution photoshop document (the same one you have been working on) turned in on that day to me.  I will copy them on my harddrive during class, don't even try to email them, they will be too big.

We as a class will go over everyone's work, and there may be representatives from the CII office as well to check out the work.

If you have any other work from the past that hasn't been turned in or has been redone in anyway, that would be a good time to get it to me.

Melissa Crosby/Bailey Drake Brown Bag Lecture - noon 4/23

Lesly by Melissa Crosby

Drake’s illustrative works have a cartoon/comic style and explore character design and background concepts. She is interested in developing a career in children’s book illustration.

Crosby’s focus is on concept art for video game design. “I draw landscapes, mercenaries, pirates, monsters, whatever comes to mind,” she said. Crosby would like to continue working on concept art for a video game developer in the future.

Come see the artists talk about their work at the gallery at noon on 4/23rd.

Zooey by Ashley Ayers

Ayers is a BFA with digital media emphasis candidate whose media of choice is photography. Her show will consist of children’s photography. “In my photographs I’m trying to portray the beauty of life and the joy that little ones bring to us. Take a trip down memory lane for a minute and remind yourself of all the good times from when you were young,” said Ayers.

Kutch is also a BFA with digital media emphasis candidate, who’s work combines photography and sculpture. Her show will focus on two of her concentrations; night photography and macro photography. “For my night photography I have taken many pictures of the Milky Way, stars, the moon sunsets and some character work involving people,” said Kutch of her work. “I love doing night photography because I feel like my imagination can run wild when I frame the shot.”

Proposals for poster project due Thursday April 18

As mentioned in class, you will be asked to do a 3- 5 minute class presentation on your idea for the final.  This is part of your grade on the project.

Please consider the content of your poster, and how you practically can achieve it.  Feel free to use the class as a forum to answer any questions you have about your project.
