Elizabeth Parker
Publishing Consultant
Memory Book Division

Year Book Opportunity
Location: Ellis Pavilion @ Safeco Field
Date of Event: 2 days:
Friday April 30th and Saturday May 1st
(if you are signed up you must attend both days)
- Friday: consult with client in the afternoon. Exact time tba.
- Saturday: 4p: all final digital files delivered to Client.

Ideally Elizabeth would like 50 AiS students to volunteer for this event.
- We told her we thought we could rally 30-35. But we will shoot for more.
- She is giving the sign up sheet to Anita Griffen too. Hopefully the difference
This is a brand new venture for the Memory Book Division. They have never worked with
an arts college and are excited to collaborate with AiS. Elizabeth is confident that this
will be a positive new partnership.

We will be working with 25 different high schools / 25 clients.
Ideally each group will include:
- 2 AiS GD Club Students
- 1 Advisor from High School
- 5 or 6 Students from the 2011 yearbook staff

Expectations of GD Club:
We will work with Client individually for 45mins.
Goal: Listen to all their likes, dislikes, color choices, font choices, etc. Help fill in the gaps with
color choices, fonts, materials, etc. From there help create the look and feel for their yearbook.
The Cover is the big deal. The details of the rest of the book will be pulled from the theme /
ideology of the cover. 2nd priority = divider pages and folio placement. Overall goal is delivering
as many pieces as we can in the given time frame. [Another bonus: if deliverables could be
high-res jpgs, etc, in a few different files so that students can move artwork around on their own
as they continue to design the yearbook.
This is an opportunity to engage these students – should be fun, inspirational, educational.
(Elizabeth mentioned that for many of these students, going to AiS or a college of the arts is a
dream. This is an opportunity to make that goal a bit more tactile. We are going as artists,
ambassadors of AiS, mentors, and our silly quirky selves!

Are you feeling too thin or too heavy? Does your ascender look big in that typeface? Is your kerning all gappy? Does a river run through your body copy? Well, tighten up your leading, because AIGA Seattle Typography Boot Camp is for you. This intense, hands-on, crash course in typographic fundamentals will expose you to the core principles that will help whip your portfolio into shape and give you rock-hard ABCs. We’ll put you through your paces with a concentrated three-hour program consisting of introductory dos and don’ts, followed by a series of quick typographic workouts, each with a slightly different focus: Type Literacy Sprints, Typesetting Crunches, and Grid & Composition Burpees.

The event will be open to 45 people. Each workshop will be limited to 15 people; everyone will be able to take two workshops.

Workshop 1
Typography and its anatomy, classification, context, and history will help you become more discriminating in selecting typefaces and customizing logotypes. Led by Juliet Shen, Shen Design.

Workshop 2
Typesetting 101, covers kerning, leading, scale, headlines, and body copy. Led by Bryan Mamaril, Turnstyle.

Workshop 3
Grid & Composition, explains how geometric systems underlie the visual relationships that make for good design and offers you a step-by-step approach to typographic composition. Led by Jeff Barlow, Jelvetica and President of AIGA Seattle.
