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.
