New member:

We have Krish on the team and he will join us for our meeting on the 7th. Thanks Krish! Still contacting one more member and will probably make it official in a few days.

Other Important Info:

Also I thought it would be good if I made a few roles clear as the colourful emails keep piling on so bare with me.

Role of the Heads :

Heads - Your role is to lead your teams. This includes managing your designers. You must inform them of any changes regarding their roles within the team. If you do not want someone on your team - meet up and and gently/constructively say why they are off the team. It is very hurtful and unfair to those who get off-ed without prior warning. You must update your team members accordingly.

What I expect from you each meeting:

For Wednesday the 7th - a Timeline of deliverables and deadlines printed for each head, Damian and myself and posted on the blog.

For every meeting - Updates and progress reports (just verbally) on where you are at. Mention any problems that come up or hinder your progress. The sooner we know about it the quicker we can solve it.

If you cannot make a meeting for any reason - drop me a line with some updates to share with the group.

Role of the Designers/team members:

Designers - You are not expected to be there at every meeting but please be aware that decisions are made as a group and if you disagree but are absent your opinion will not be counted. You must talk to the Head of your division should there be any conflicts.

For any major tiffs I will mitigate between the two parties.

The Ultimate Aim of this Show :

To be the most amazeballsfabtasticle MA Show on the Planet. To make every other uni feel like utter barnacles.

On a final note, every single role is vital to bringing this show together. A great design with a crap music set, messy gallery or lukewarm food is in no way acceptable and does not do any of you fantastic people any justice. Put your money where your mouth is and make people piss in their pants with your mad skills and teamwork.

Hope y'all had a good weekend.

See you Wednesday - Inji D

Next meeting

NEXT MEETING

07/07/2010 — 12:00 - 14:00

Meeting 30/06/2010

Clean + Clear Blog:

First of all, please keep the blog very clean and structured we use this tool just to be backed up with final decisions and dates. Inspirations and ideas should be shown during meetings so that we can discuss them directly. In other words everyone on the MA is reading this blog and its better we have all our creative decisions in the meeting so that we can show our final outcomes on the blog. To make it more understandable for everybody who is not on the committee.

Decisions from today:

Theme: MADE

Subtitle: Ready to discover

Style:

Entrance: We will have a big typographic display on the windows of the entrance by using in parts the style of the Unilever logo to include all elements of the different courses

Print: We gonna use a picture of the typographic display of the entrance + illustrations inform of graphical explosions and small illustrations which convey the feeling of discovery and taking off/us as masters students flying into the creative world/or for our careers

Web: We gonna use the elements from the print media for website and videos. Furthermore we will have an online competition of designing your personal wings with which you wanna take off and discover the world of business (this is a suggestion for a design element we can use to maybe wear ones ourselves ;)

3D Installations: In the entire building we will have some 3d installations like a big hanging explosion of different shapes and colours made out of paper. Furthermore installations with wings.

Roles:

Helmut + Christina: Design

Aki + Fabrice + Helmut: Web / video

Christina: Print

Gunjan: Sponsorships, Invites, Locations for advertising, Public relations

Krish + Lucida: Strategy

Charlotte: Catering

Please be aware you are the leader of these sections BUT that doesn’t mean that you have to handle all the work by yourself. Make decisions in small groups with the people you would like to work with and after you made the decisions deligate the work to other people you trust. In the end it will be an exhibition for all of us, so all of us have to work for it!! :)

Deadline:

The deadline on which everything has to be done so far is the 20th of August
