DSIT 111 5/25

Hello Class,

Class was very productive yesterday regarding our Senior Show. I have lots of information, so read carefully please.

Also, Ashly set up a Google calendar with due dates for everything, so please refer to the calendar as much as possible. The url is https://www.google.com/calendar/render?cid=c2pzdS5kc2l0LnNlbmlvcnNob3dAZ21haWwuY29t&invEmailKey=j.tankard@yahoo.com:ffd40c46f4baf85c1115bf3551e2a2510d42d00d&pli=1&gsessionid=Um14n_OZDu9n599oVYY2PA.

Catering:

We have chosen Zanotto's as our caterer. Stephanie finalized this with City Hall yesterday. She has posted a narrowed down list of food e can choose to have at our event. Please respond to her post with your top 5.

• Stephanie: Find out how much notice Zanotto's needs for our final list on the food we choose.
• Ashley S/Melissa V: Work on getting wine donations

Set-Up:

We decided on the set up of our boards. Garrett found a great system from IKEA that will hold the 7' boards horizontally. Each system will hold 2 of these boards, so 2 people will have their projects back to back on each system. The frame for the system will also hold a white board at waist height so we can place our portfolios, resumes, models, etc. The set-up looks amazing! Now that we know the set-up, we now know our board sizes. They will be 36"x7'.

• Garrett: Find out what each board needs. How many lights, cords, etc. Work closely with space planners (Xin/Gordie) on this. Also, please find out who rents out the boards before us so we can talk to them about cleaning the boards/keeping them clean.
• Elizabeth T: Find out the cost of a Uhaul truck for 2 days, plus insurance, gas, etc.
• Jenni, Ashley S, Elizabeth T: Find out if you can bring in a 10ft ladder to store at school until our show.
• Sam/Sakiko: Find out how much we have of each kind of light
• Junsin/Diana: Look into white wires. Find out the lengths, the price, and how we can tape down the wires without it looking unattractive. Work with space planners (Xin/Gordie).
• Keith: Find a material and the price of that and spray paint so you can make a stencil on the laser cutter. We need to label our chairs in white with "SJSU Interior Design".
• Jenni: Find out what time we can start setting up on the day of the show.

Letters/Donations:

Make sure you get the rest of the donation letters sent out. Remember to ask John about when we should get the invitations sent out by.

Graphics:

• Tamara/Anna: Get the price of gator board and foam core. We need these materials for the logo of the places that donated and for frames for our portraits. Also check out the prices of frames at IKEA vs. Aaron Brothers (remember we could get a discount from Aaron Brothers). Look into prices for printing out post cards with our logo on it, and for 11x17 posters. (We only need 4 posters, but about 250 post cards). Please be ready to present graphics next week.
• Melanie: Start bringing a camera and taking pictures of people working on the Senior Show.
• Melanie/Melissa N: Collect pictures that people have from past classes.

Flowers:

• Jenny: Find out what type of flowers we should use, where we are ordering them from, and how much it would be.

Website:

• Suzy: Look into prices of yahoo vs. intuit, and what your husband feels most comfortable with. We would like to have this website up for 6 months.

Bios:

• Elisabeth B/Crystal: Make sure you get everyone's bios, and proof read all of them. Let me know if you still do not receive bios from people.

Space Planning:

• Xin/Gordie: Have the preliminary done by March 11.

DSIT 111(Everyone):

• Start working on boards (36"x7')
• Work on portfolios, resumes, teaser, business cards, cover letters
• Gather any class pictures from past classes and send to Melanie(xmaeleni04@yahoo.com) or Melissa N(mellii151@msn.com)
• Get bios turned in

I know this is a lengthy email, but please pay close attention to the blog and calendar. If you have any questions please email me.

Dates for Photos

Dates for photos...Feb 25 (friday) works for me!

regarding the post card I think it looks great. I love the slight bit of color mixed in with the gray tones. The only suggestion I have is that maybe make the "transformation" a little bit darker, the "tran" seems to blend into the background other than that great!

all the times for the picture are good with me, I'm flexible!

I still need bio's from Sam, Xin, and Brian.

Remember, pleas include age (if you want), where you were born, what inspired you to pursue design, where you've interned (if you haven't interned please include what in design you're passionate about) what you are emphasizing (retail, civic, residential, etc.) and your hobbies.

If you took your bio home either by accident or to make revisions please e-mail it back to me ASAP my e-mail is elisabethbonifield@yahoo.com

The bio's that I'm missing WITH REVISIONS are:

Sally

Yian

Rachel

Elizabeth T

Sakiko

Noni

Hannah

Stephanie

Junsin

Guin

Saline

Diana

Garret

Ryan/Gordy

Brianna

Again, if you name is listed above you did not come to class OR hand me back your bio with revisions. If you took the hard copy home and have revisions you can either e-mail me the information missing or give it to me in class on friday.

Thanks everyone!

Question about Clothing for Picture

I got so many different info from different people about the dress code for picture day.

So I checked the blog and it said "black top and dark color jeans."

And I want to make sure my understanding is correct.

So "black top" means any kind of top, as long as it is black, is ok?

(black t-shirt, black dress shirt, black polo shirt?)

and for "dark jeans," i assume it should be nice jeans.

so no rips, no mix colors, or any of other sorts?

Thanks

PICTURE DAY update!

Hello Everyone,

The following are the immediate dates and time slots my sister is available to shoot all 40 students as well as get in a group photo. So if we can all work with this schedule, that would be awesome. The entire photo session should only take 1 to 1.5 hours max.

Sunday Feb 20 - at 930 or 10am

Friday Feb 25 – at 9am

Sunday Feb 27 -at 930 or 10am

Hope this works for everyone,

Anna Nguyen

PICTURE DAY

Just letting everyone know that the available time and day for the photo session with my sister will be posted later on in another blog entry this late evening.

So feel free to check back after and give me your opinion then. Thanks and sorry for the delay.

- Anna N.

Picture date & time

And as for the pictures, Saturday works best for me. In the morning. Maybe 10am or so...

Revision input

The revision of the postcard might need something more than just text. I liked the large "Id"(on the old card) because it brought forth an element of design; it looked more artful (although I'm not sure if anyone would have understood what Id stood for accept us..?)

Maybe incorporate some sort of symbol or idea into the new one as well. It was more interesting to look at.

Great job graphic design team :)

Date and Time for Pictures

I am okay with either day and as for the time if its on Saturday i prefer morning and if its on Sunday i prefer evening

I don't mind any of the times for the pictures...I can do Friday or sat.

Suzy

Date for Pictures

What date would work for you? Choose the upcoming Saturdays and Sundays that work best with your schedule, and whether you prefer morning, afternoon, evening, etc. 


Thanks,
Jenni

My Bio. the email i was given dosnt work

what is the email? i got elisabeth.bonifield@yahoo.com

revision

Music: I like "Our Love is Here to Stay" from mckev.com and "Just Relax Mix" from soundcloud.com/badra too.

Outfit: white or black shirt and jeans.

graphics progress

music

I like the idea of a live band, the jazz would compliment the venue well.
-stephanie

Music

Music

I love both the Jazz and the DJ, neither could be expected to play the whole 4+ hours of the senior show so I think it is important to have both.

I really like Badra's Just relax Mix & for the Jazz Band I enjoyed all of it.

Pictures:

no comment since I won't be there

Music and Outfits

Love love the jazz music. I think its perfect for a sophisticated setting-especially if the band will be live. That makes for a great atmosphere.

The DJ is dramatically different from the jazz. I like it, but it depends on what mood we're trying to convey. I think the jazz would be more suited for our event.

Clothing for the pictures: Black top and dark jeans can never go out of style.

Thanks for looking in to everything!

Music: I agree, a live band would be great I liked the jazz music and from the DJ I liked the just relax mix

Photos: I think back shirt and dark blue jeans is good

Music - I agree, Jazz band is great and to have a live band is better, but I liked the "Just Relax" mix too!

Photos - dark jeans and black shirt sounds perfect

dido to the music.

and dark jeans with black or white is fine by me.

2/11/11

black shirt and jeans is good by me, do we have a date when we are taking these pictures?

also is there anything we should bring to class tomorrow?

From mckev.com: I really like "Our Love is Here to Stay" It is nice and mellow, great background music while everyone is having their conversations. I think most of his music is suitable for our event though!

From soundcloud.com/badra: I like "Just Relax Mix" the best. A little more upbeat than Kevin, but still mellow enough to hold conversations!

For outfits: I think dark denim jeans with black shirts!

Reminder 2/10/11

Please remember to post what music you like the best from each website:

mckev.com & soundcloud.com/badra

Also, what would you like us to wear for our senior show pictures?

Try to post by tomorrow's class.

Thanks,

Jenni

Comments - Montana S.

I like the Just Relax Music (Badra) and the Dirty Downtown Jazz music, with less of an emphasis on slow, Kenny G, jazz.

I think the Dirty Downtown Jazz band is more personal than DJing if we're considering one verses the other.

Black shirt and jeans for the group picture.

Senior Show Bio's

Hey Everyone!

So Crystal and I are in the process of editing all the bio's we received and I just wanted to give you a heads up what we decided. Because the size of each bio seemed to vary dramatically, we came up with a template of vital information we thought everyone should have and/or elaborate on. We will be printing out all the bio's for class friday so everyone can read, add in any missing information, and comment on our changes. Please do not take it personally if we deleted, removed or reworded parts of your bio. We thought that if everyone has similar lengths, and information within their bio, it would give an organized, concise, and fair reflection of all of us and our program.

Have a great remainder of the week and see everyone on Friday!

Elisabeth
