....and...something about a road....with weeds 'cause nobody's walked on it....hmmmmm...I may be mixing poderables again....
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came to GD Club this week - we packed the place, ate ice cream until we were dizzy with sugar intake and took some serious steps toward summer goals. And here they are: (for all of you who desperately wanted to come and for whom life just got in the way!)
We had an introduction of the new President (that's me!) and a chance to meet a lot of AMAZING up and coming Graphic Designers - both new and nearly all grown up! We had a volunteer for Vice President - Mr. Matt "Fargo" Pernack, whose enthusiasm is sure to keep things rolling in whatever direction we point him in! And, Jesse (that's Jesse #1) Diaz has offered to take the position of Treasurer using all of his talents of persuasion to keep the fundage flowing!
We talked about plans for this quarter - the goal is that we keep it laid back, for the most part. We did, however, have a few ideas officially sealed in ink: We are going to do a contest where we all have to learn to work together as a team (in case you haven't noticed, Graphic Designers don't share very well - this will be an awesome growing experience!) And, yes, there will be a prize for the winner! (think money, people!)
We are also going to be hosting a huge event at the end of the quarter - a Gallery Opening! We are going to do a fund raiser to raise money for that ever so important charity of...um......something. AND, we're going to fill the Gallery with our own art pieces to auction off! This is going to be an amazing opportunity to rub elbows with the people who you are going to want to work for, to get our name out into the community (AiS' GD Club needs to be KNOWN, people!), get some awesome work into our portfolio's and give back to the community!
Here's what we need for next week (so be pondering): We need to pick a local charity that we are going to support. We need to decided how we want to do it and then start talking advertising. (I've got a lot of experience with these kinds of events. The people that we are going to be working for LOVE to be a part of giving back to the community - and they need a TON of planning and advertising, so we've got to get started!)
...*whew......worn out yet?
And lastly, (well, sort of) I would really love it if the entire club redesigned our posters together. Attached you can take a look at the ones that I threw together a few weeks ago - I think they're so much fun, but I don't know that the point I was attempting to make came through. (or maybe it did - feedback me, folks!) Either way, I'd love for us to do them together!
NEXT WEEK: Tuesday, 4:30pm - We'll be meeting at the fountain next to the Sculpture Park (thanks for the brilliant idea, Kyle!), grabbing some chai tea, iced coffee, or ice cream from the little deli and then finding a place to plunk and talk more about our projects for this quarter! Hope to see you there!!
-Jesse
