Upcoming Projects/Events

• (1) First Design Contest
  We've already decided that monthly design contests are a good idea - so for our first one, we will be drawing two random words out of a hat for our theme. Come to the potluck for our first one! You could design anything from a logo or brand, to a poster or even mock up a spread or web layout! We should have room for all the work either in the cases in the hallway or on the bulletin boards.
  
  Oh yes, there WILL be prizes.
  
  
• (2) Environmental Proposal (and creating a team for it!)
  Barbara brought up a great idea at the last meeting. Let's create a team, or teams, to make a proposal to AS for an environmental project that will benefit our campus and the world. They've got lots of money to give for these projects! We could design the materials for the proposal, and maybe some mock designs for future promotion. We've got the manditory workshop dates to look at at the next meeting.

Possible Future Event
PORTFOLIO REVIEW PEOPLE! There is an idea on the table for a Pre-Portfolio Workshop, where students who have passed the review can work one-on-one with you to talk about the review and the process! Those of you who haven't gone through the review, please let someone know soon so we can coordinate this event.
