Flags are officially ordered. They should be shipped sometime next week.
Second:
Jessica has printed her flyers, not including the designs we voted for from Lauren. Since we have so many hand-out type cards, a few of us discussed the idea of turning Lauren's design into something nicer. An invitation so-to-speak, but more like a show souvenir or brochure. This is something we can hand out personally to close friends that we know will come and not just throw away something that looks nice. This is also something we can hand to people at the door and they can read and look at while they're there-- AND take home so they remember their experience and who we are, our names...they can contact anyone if they are interested. The idea is to have this printed by C&S since Theo is urging us to take advantage of the situation and have something very nicely printed.
We discussed a folded design with the front part not completely folded to the edge (leaving room for a tab-like side to open from) with Lauren's design, inside we can have a thumbnail from each artist, and on the back a brief description of who we are and what the show is.
Here are some mock-ups (dimensions are 4.5" high x 9" long...with the front cover only being 7" long, so open the length is 4.5" x 16" total):

That's an awesome idea. I began to wonder what we would do with all of these flyers, since Jessica had 2 different ideas and then I had these images. I was going to ask the class tomorrow which one they wanted to use and how we should make it different from the ones Jessica printed (just so it wasn't too repetitive). I know she was planning on putting our names on the the back of the plain black one and then she had another layout for a second flyer that may have been nice to send out with the press releases. But I guess we can discuss it all tomorrow.
also note: the card doesn't fold directly down the middle. its probably obvious enough but the information on the right would be able to be viewed both when the card is opened and closed.
I love the idea!
Would images of our artwork go in the thumbnails??
Yes...we can either have PIECES of our artwork...like a hint of the image, or a super tiny image. I like just having a piece of an image as a thumbnail.
yah ive seen that on websites before you click on the small thumbnail which is a croped version of the art and its a link to the full image. so our thumbnails will be like a link to the full image in their memory. boing
should we all agree on a size to crop our image to and send it to lauren?
