T-Shirts for OAF
We're finally gonna make DM T-shirts! Ohhhhh snap! ^_^ Because of budget issues, the Armstrong Outdoors Arts Festival won't be making t-shirts this year....soooooo, what better time than to make our own!?
The costs for t-shirts is just five bucks, so we're asking all members to be kind enough and pay for their own shirts. I'll be picking up everyone's shirt money next week. Oh! And be sure to tell me what size you wear, k? Thanks a bunch folks, and see yaz next week! Till then, happy designing!

Rebuilding Together Savannah's Board and all who have seen the brochure are really tickled with the content and the design. We use it for all our information/public relations opportunities and are very grateful for the efforts of you and the design group who worked with us on that.
I would like to be able to provide for any who would like a copy or copies for portfolio purposes. Please tell me how many and where and when to deliver. Or send me a list of snail mail addresses and I will send to each and all who need one.
Again, our thanks for a brochure that meets your expectations and ours for effectiveness, quality, and design!. Thanks.

Brochure Proposal- An unanimous decision was made to accept Dr. Cato’s brochure proposal. Jenni, Sam, and Alex have volunteered to be the sub committee in charge of the project. We need to know any specifics Dr. Cato would like and what the size of the brochure is.
New Life Website- I sent an e-mail to Ms. Campbell this weekend after not hearing anything in regards to the website. She did send a reply back to me, and she plans to contact me at the end of the weeks so we (she, the pastor, and myself) can sit down one on one so something can be reported back to the team.
Outdoors Art Festival- We went into further detail as to what items we were going to present this year at AASU. The greeting cards, stickers, and DM cookies are official items to bring. The stickers are in short supply, so we need to see what needs to be done in getting more printed out.
Jenni talked to a place that offered temporary tattoos. We’d have to order them by 1,000, and the price might be $20. She also mentioned rubber bracelets, which could be 2 bucks each.
I noticed BCM, a fellow campus club, had a cotton candy machine last week at the carnival. I asked them what we could do as far as looking into renting a cotton candy machine, and they pointed us out to a place on Stephenson called Rent It All. I’ll check the place out and see what the prices are.
We’d like to know what the price would be in renting the popcorn machine again this year. If it’s within a reasonable price, we’ll definitely consider taking it again.
Our cookie party will be Friday, March 27th, the day before the Outdoor Arts Festival. It will be hosted by our very own Chris and Alex! Yayyyy. Actual time will be given out later via em-ail and this blog.
Ind. Project- We’ve decided to make DM tee shirts as a fun volunteer side project. Chris suggested we could make the shirts ourselves. The designs should be economic friendly (easy on the color palette).
Justin also recommended a place on Highway 80 called Patrick Uniform in case we wanted an alternative option to making the shirts ourselves. If we do go with the second option, he has agreed to go to Patrick Uniform and get more information.
Movie Night- DM helper, Rhiannon suggested we look at a Lecture Hall in the Science Center to show Helvetica. She spoke to some people, and directed me to a Ms. Cathy at Victor Hall who’s in charge of approving rooms for students and student organizations.
Ms. Cathy said all we needed to do in order to get a room was have a faculty member (like an adviser) sign out for the club, ask for a room and a particular date, and submit a request to the campus calendar, which Ms. Cathy is in charge in. She also said that no fees would be necessary, and if we can’t, for whatever reason, get approved for the room requested, they will try and find another room that can still serve the same function and purpose for the momentary use.
And that's everything! Yet another successful meeting for DM! stay tuned to hear more about the upcoming Outdoor Arts Festival, the DM cookie party, and more.

Creative Commons--
It has come to the attention of the Four that the focus of the Design Matters club may have shifted just a touch too much towards production and school-related happenings only. Our interest in these things is by no means a BAD thing, but after talking about it-- we want to reincorporate some of the more lighthearted aspects of the club.
For many of us, there is a lifetime ahead of contracts and professional projects, so we want to bring some more fun to the club, to give our beloved community something different to do. We really do have a great group between us at DM, and although it may appear dwarf in comparison to other student run organizations at AASU, we have to remember that we've already accomplished a great deal and grown together through Design Matters.
SO, in an effort to inject a small dose of creativity beyond what we have already demonstrated in our projects, I suggested that we have some small little creative one-offs, not unlike what Mrs. Horne has had us do in some of her various classes.
In essence, they will be similar to what we attempted during the previous summer, but I know everyone is up to their eyeballs in work, and stuff for school and this and that. (At least, I know I feel that way most days now.) so, I want to bring attention to one crucial difference...
There will be no concrete deadlines for these exercises. These are merely for fun and to share with one another. Don't feel obligated to do them at all, especially if you're swamped with stuff to do for school, work or family. But if you've got some free time on a weekend, and feel like flexing your design muscle... well, that's what this is here for.
As they come in, I or someone else with blog access will post them up in appropriately titled entries, which I'm hoping will also help bring more traffic and activity to the blog.
*deep breath*
That being said, here's the first one.
A while back, Mrs. Horne has us make some posters for Typography. We were to take a phrase from a book, a movie, TV show or song, and convert it into a poster, using only text.
Here's what I got then (those of you in the know will recognize this perfectly written line from one of my favorite movies EVER, Ghostbusters.)--
Here's the challenge-- pretty much do the same thing, but to loosen the requirements a bit, feel free to use some visuals. Your entry need not be 100% text as mine was.
Remember, this is just for fun!
SO GO HAVE FUN!
Email your submissions to DesignMattersAASU@gmail.com and we'll put them up accordingly!
Take care everyone!
