DM Minutes -- April 9th, 2008.

Hey guys, here are the minutes for the meeting held on April 9th, 2008.


* Speakers- (If you know people, ask them if they'd like to talk about their experiences int he design field, graduating, taking commissions-- ANYTHING! At least, ask them if they'll write a post that we can post on the blog.)



* Contracts/Work- (Need to figure out prices, what we can and cannot do, and how we'll agree to do it. If you have any experience with this, please help us out!)



* Portfolio- (We're working on making a Flickr account for the club, so send in your design work, layours, art... anything you want to show off, and we can start building on our blog, and shedding a spotlight on what we are capable of.)



* AASU Day- (We can't pass up an opportunity to continue the momentum we've built up after the Outdoor Arts Festival. Let's do everything we can to make our booth at AASU exponentially more killer than our first. There's a booth design contest, and I think we can easily win that with all the things we can bring to it, and the people we know. We're looking to use what worked from the Festival, and apply it to AASU Day-- such as greeting cards, popcorn, and brownies this time, instead of cookies. If you have any ideas, please let them be heard!)



* Club Strength- (While looking forward and planning for festivals and fairs is great, we need to focus on other stuff too. What work can we do, how can we get our name out there, and if we have nothing to do, let's find a way to keep keen and keep ourselves busy with design. Be it critiques, club contests / challenges, or more. Mrs. Horne suggested shopping our name out there, and possibly taking on one project a semester for the school board or the community as a pro-bono (no pay) piece, so we can make ourselves known.)



* Welcome Back! Bash- (This was our last meeting of the semester, but that definitely doesn't mean we're finished for the summer. For our first meeting of the next semester we're planning to do a "Welcome Back! Bash" for our club members-- old AND new. All we have planned right now is to bring in design / artwork that you've done over the months of break, so we can see what people have been up to, and some food to liven things up. Naturally, we want to celebrate what very well may be the last year for some members, and hopefully the first year at Armstrong for others.)




And most importantly--

SPREAD THE WORD
&
LET US HEAR YOU.
