Next week :11 notes & due

Dear all,

I was a bit underwhelmed by the work you presented yesterday, as mentioned in class. Most of you are working in teams & the quality and amount of work showcased did not stand up to what I expect at this point in the course. I met with my tuesday studio today and saw a different picture: well thought out books, structures and lots of content; which only indicates that this is certainly possible. Not only possible but necessary.

This is not intended to demoralize you, on the contrary, it is a necessary push. I expect excellence. Remember: the work we did on grids in the past weeks was not a study, but rather a preparation for the book, and an inherent part of it. So don;t start from zero, build up from what you already have.

due next class:
— 20 spreads minimum (incluidng all book structures & typologies, i.e. all chapters and content. If not all completed chapters then at least 3 spreads each)
—logos: 5 variations minimum

upcoming:
— poster & invite ideas (digital sketches)
— get familiar with indexhibit.org (for your website) / think of your domain name / think of a host (i recommend dreamhost.com, you can purchase your domain name & hosting service from them, they are linked with indexhibit)

make it shine, you were ahead of tuesday's work in the midterm, don't fall behind.

nb: you are welcome to look at the tuesday books through your peers, that's an indication of the level of work I am after.

thank you
carolina
