for week 12: MODEL SHOOT / bring your refined models

Dear all,

we're getting to the nitty gritty of our project, please keep working on your cartalog, poster & invite incorporating this week's feedback.

for next week please bring in / become familiar with the following:

CATALOGUE:
—STRUCTURE:
—Bring in a full scale dummy, trimmed to scale (standard for the past weeks)
— Inquire about binding, make sure you have your vendors, prep set up time for files & time allocated for production.
—not least, structure is directly in line with the flow, tone and sequence of how you portray your narrati8ve. Rremember, this catalog is primarily about your work, so that should be the main feature.

— LAYOUT: all content in place, all typologies in place (refer back to handout posted here for what those entail). Of course, actual content (text & image)

—INK & MATERIALS: Bring stock samples (the actual sheet/s you will be using with test prints in actual colour: eg. monotone, full colour etc) Bring material samples for covers & spine (eg, fabrics, plastics and any other( Think of how you can apply graphics to these surfaces (get inventve! fake foil stamps thru vinyls, laser indentations to evoke etching etc)


— logo: revisions as per you last crit. Present this individually on a sheet of paper

_SPACE / PHOTOGRAPHY: BRING YOUR MODELS! WE WILL SHOOT FINAL IMAGES FOR YOUR CATALOG
—art direction: think of how you want to photograph your space, we will likely have ablack seamless backdrop and a white one (grey also if possible)
Think of camera angles (long, medium shots & close ups-macros) and light (different degrees of visbility, accents, coloured gels etc)

—posters / invite: execute the sketches we discussed, if you don;t have these yet, comp some up for next class.

—INDEXHIBIT: become familiar with this platform, You can look at 'participants' to see what people have done with it) You'll need a host & database server & a domain name.Indexhibit is free and its very easy to use. Look at the tabs to get info on how to download and install.

Thank you!
