Book/Postcard Panel Proposal (Paul's Section) PLEASE VOTE NOW!







So these are what Sabrina and I have finalized for proposal.
What I have attached for you are the following:

4 files for COLOR schemes:

-option a
-option b
-option c
-one file with all three collage on the same layout so people can compare side by side, or if they prefer view one by one with the above files.

2 files for FONT schemes:
-arno pro (ap)
-myriad pro
(mp)
-there is a third option but it in the process of being found. So for now those two will do until further notice.

We would like people to vote for ONE color option and ONE family of font (arno or myriad).
I know Rachel and Christina in marketing needs colors and font ready for them by latest Monday.
So what we thought would work might be this:

Voting is open from tonight Friday Jan 26. til Saturday midnight, Sunday morning the latest.
So Sabrina and I can finalize anything and send files over to marketing, since they plan on printing posters for the short coming bake sale.

Let me know what you think and how you like the options give too.

(PLEASE TREAT THE COMMENT FUNCTION AS A MEANS OF CASTING YOUR VOTE)
Include letter corresponding with your choice of color scheme as well as one corresponding with your choice of font.

OR

Other suggestions. (PLEASE don't delay on this because the bake sale posters will be made soon)
*Voting and choosing the fonts and colors is for the cohesion in designing and producing the postcards, book, posters and other collateral materials. It's for thematical, professional and presentable products in the end. The voting is not for the producing posters for bake sales alone. With established work flow and templates and guidelines, things will more along more smoothly.
So people need to still vote, whether they want to make poster for the bake sale or not. It doesn't hurt to attach VCU Photography department to the event, especially when it will benefit us. People are more likely to buy and buy more and support us if we seem official and professional about our agenda and mission.

Let me know what you think. I don't want people to be so down about the money issue. We will pay off for the show in the end.

The issue of money is present, but it should not lessen how we present ourselves or be lead astray.

Thanks,

Lanvi.

  1. I like Color Scheme "A"
    and
    Font Scheme Arno (the first one)

    Although I am confused as to why we are making posters for a bake sale that is occurring on First Firdays?? It doesn't seem necessary to spend the money to print posters for this sale in particular because people are going to be there anyway. The table is being set up in front of Quirk Gallery, which is in the beginning of Broad Street, so most people will walk by, therefore eliminating the need to advertise it.

    Does anyone else feel the same way??

  2. I choose option "B" and myriad pro.

    I have to say I agree with Drew. I think our money could be better spent on other things than advertising a bake sale on a first Friday. It just seems counter-productive.

  4. I choose color scheme B and Myriad Pro.

    I also think it is silly to waste our money on fliers for the bake sales that take place during first fridays. I understand flyers for the ones that don't take place during first friday, but you don't need to advertise an event that people already go to.

  10. Color B, Font Myriad.

    And I'm behind Harrison, Eric, and Quave. I think it would be an unwise financial decision to spend money at this point on something that the public are already aware of. We are going to be working hard to try to rise the money already so why waste the time and money?
