For those of you who missed out on our meeting. Here is an update of what's going on in the following weeks.
We decided to stay with DIC for now until we can think up a better name.
Ideas for possible upcoming projects:
- finding real clients to help establish a more professional and firm-like design environment.
- participating in more design contests
- possibly having a collaboration with the east coast design studetns
- Designs for a relief fund for the tsunami victims and possibly getting publicity.
- designing a book of past student works for classes like the game board design class.
- Creating a motion graphics commercial for our club.
Club Fair:
we will be hosting a contest with sticky notes for students to draw something with D.I.C in it. It allows for people to participate and possibly give ideas about possible logo change. We will also be showing a digital copy of the book we made. Loretta and Sandy will be sitting at the booth.
Next week:
we are designing the "secret society" cards to give out to people to get them to join DIC.
That is all.

== OMG! the show is a week from this monday!!!!!!! ==
monday march 2nd. that means you allz got one week to print your posters if you would like to contribute to the show!!!!
today we were lucky enough to have a guest speaker from Goodjoe [1]: Each month, goodjoe will hold a T-shirt design contest. Everyone is welcome to participate by submitting inspiring T-shirt designs and voting for their favorite ones.
Here is how the process works:
1. Artists submit T-shirt designs into the monthly contest. 2. The top 3 voted designs are printed and artists receive cash prizes. 3. Goodjoe will handpick additional inspirational designs from the contest to print. 4. Printed tees are sold and everyone involved shares in the proceeds.
So, anywayz, me(cortney) and tim are working on the poster announcement for the show which we'll put up all over the campus. also, spread the word about the show that will be put up in the School Gallery Monday March 2nd, 2009. (thats a week from this monday).
Everyone must write their paragraph for their chosen designer
because we are going to make "plaques" that will go next to your poster in the gallery. that must be done ASAP and sent to Cortney: ccassidyiknow@gmail.com
please email scott green [Scottgreendesign@gmail.com] if you need to print your posters still, he will be available most days this week to assist, so please schedule a time with him.
Photoshop Brushes
Hey everyone, Scott here. For those of you who haven't used photoshop brushes and want to, or would like to learn them more thoroughly, I'm going to plan another tutorial session soon. It can be during club meeting time or not. What time during the week works for people? Also, a few brush sites to get inspired and free brushes. [2] and [3]
Meeting: 2/7/09
Some links from Scott: Saw this and thought there was some pretty cool stuff: [4] Typography- [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] Branding- [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] Packaging- [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] more to come soon.
Meeting: 11/18/08
so the show has been moved to March. :[ but that means the show will be up longer. a few of us will be burning screens on friday, sometime around 11 am. you are welcome to join us. email either cortney (ccassidyiknow@gmail.com) or anna (agrace83@gmail.com) to let us know. thats it for this week.
Meeting: 11/11/08
so here are the things we have discussed in regards to our upcoming screen print poster event and everything that it entails.
we have refined the details to how our screen print poster show will work: 1. Juried Show: Prize awarded to the winner of best poster, anyone who comes can vote. (anyone who went to the AIGA GALA, it will work in the same process: each person will receive two raffle tickets, both with the same number, one they will use to vote for their favorite poster, and the other they hold onto until the raffle, with which the prize is that of one of the posters.
2. there will be a screen printing activity at the show that is similar to what we did at the club fair: we burn a screen ahead of time and let people print their own whatever.
So in order to prepare for this event their are a few things that need to get done this quarter: (please sign up for at least one of these tasks, i advise anyone to start soon before we get into finals. i.e. if you are designing a poster or flyer for our show)
1. print the T-shirts (the doodle collaboration) OR have a bake sale (Renee may be able to provide all the food, but that is pending)
2. Update the "open for participants" poster (Scott called dibs)
3. make flyers to go on the adviser's desks. (Meeta)
4. make a "how to screen print guide" for our website (Cortney)
5. design the poster/postcards for the actual show
also check the clubs gmail calendar for important dates:
1. go to start.designinnovationsf.com
2. sign in as student@designinnovationsf.com, password: student
i hope to see everyone, or anyone who can make it, next week at the meeting. its crucial we meet a few more times this quarter so that we can get everything going.
we plan to set up another printing day, so if you have a day that works best for you, we can talk about it! :D
the following list is what designers have already been chosen, if you wish to add yourself to the list, make sure that there are no repeating designers. we wish for this final exhibit to have as much variety as possible. (create an account to edit list)
the designers chose are as follows:
James Victore Diana Villa, Mike Perry Cortney Cassidy, Armin Hoffman Meeta Panesar, Peter Saville Joesph Azurin, Matthew Carter Scott Green, Massimo Vignelli Robert Medkeff, Neville Brody Bryan Musk, Mike Mills Tim McSweeney, Benny Gold Brian Ortega.

Book Arts Club: Screen Printed Book
The Ai Book Arts Club has invited members of the DIC to participate in their book project for this quarter. A theme for the book has yet to be finalized.
Book Guidelines:
Spot color (2 colors) The extra Murillo wrap paper from a previous project is brown, so the black and red combination would work for ink choices. Different colors are still an option, but the club already has an abundance of both colors.
Measurements: Page spread 5"x 10" with full bleed Depending how many people participate, each contributor will either have an entire spread or one page (5x5”).
Binding: accordion folded
We will hopefully make 1 book for each person in the book as well as 10 extra copies to be sent out for competition.
If you’re interested in participating, contact Justin at justinlsilvera[at]yahoo.com.
