This class is designed to give you a start in professional work and practices in the field of graphic arts. We will be doing real projects for real clients here, and will try to work as if we are a bouquet arts studio (small design business). Most of the time we will be doing work for the school but we may do some for outside clients as well.
At the moment we have no projects on the calendar, so we have no assignments yet. I emphasis YET, as when they come we need to get on them, and out the door (so to speak) as soon as possible. Sometimes there will be a very short deadlines, so be prepared. You will get the assignments and most all info for the class here. So SIGN UP FOR EMIL NOTIFICATIONS OVER THERE >>> where it says 'Follow by Email'.
Assignment 1:
Send an email from your Gmail account... the subject is to be: Practicum. Your name is to be in the body. This is very simple, send as directed.
- Due: As soon as you read this.
Assignment 2:
Since we have no projects right now, it would be a good time to think about and maybe work on our identity! A name and a logo, seems to be a good place to start. In the past we have just gone with DDM Design Studio. We can keep with that or come up with something new.We can keep the name, or change the logo. We can change the name and keep the logo, or adjust it to fit a new name. We can leave it all as is too. Give it some think about it, and write them here as comments to this post.
- Due: Friday Yes. you have to share your thoughts. There are no wrong answers except not saying anything.
Finding Projects:
This is not part of the class, and you are not required find work for us to do. However, some students in the past have and it has worked out well. If you come across a project that you think would be good for us to do, or want to look for some you are welcome to do so. Check with me before you make any promises! Most of the time the answer is yes, but we do have some constraints as to what we can and can't work on. As a rule community events, organizations, UNM stuff, tribal stuff, etc are usually fine, professional folks are where things get into some gray areas. If you should talk to someone about us doing a project, do not tell them that it is free, we work for donations to GAG so that we can attend professional graphic art events and buy equipment.
