Book/Postcard Final Proposal (PLEASE VOTE & TURN IN INFO SHEET)

Information needed:
We have created a survey/information list for everyone to fill out. (WILL BE HANDED OUT IN YOUR RESPECTIVE CLASS) We hope to received 29 sheets back. The list is for everyone to fill out their name, full name, (first, middle initial, last), your email or website, hometown (city, state), something you enjoy doing, something interesting about you, and the number of books you are planning to purchase (yourself/family/friends) so we can order. These are information we are gathering from everyone. Everything may or may not be included, but as of right now, we would like to collect these things from everyone.
Please complete it and hand it to your P&B representative in your class by next Thursday, Feb. 17, 2011.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOK:

We have decided to order the books from BLURB book company.
-It will be soft cover.
-It will include closely around 70 pages.
-Each person will have 2 pages (1 spread): (One will be for text(name, info, etc), and one for image or collage images) *Please start planning and thinking about this)

Peers, you must VOTE on your preferred format.

*Do keep in mind, if you do not vote, the majority will select the choice and you will have to work with it. DEADLINE for the voting will be this Friday, Feb.11, 2011. Tallying and decisions will be finalized in order for us to start designing. We appreciate your participation.

OPTION A: 7 x 7 inch (square format)

OPTION B: 10 x 8 inch (landscape format)


Additional information: the cost for book per will amount to around $25.00.
*If we can raise enough money through bake sales or raffles, we could potential pay $0.00 for them.

------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POSTCARD:
We have decided to go with Overnightprints.
Rounded corner, glossy, nice card stock.

Things that will go on the postcard include:

-email OR website (those who do not have an email will just go with email)
-city, state
-title of image on the front, dimension, medium (digital, darkroom prints)
-VCU logo
-Senior Show, date, time, and location

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADDITIONAL CONCERNS:
We are wondering if it would be possible to sale things at the show as well.
I know catering is planned for the show, but things such as beverages could be sold by bottles or cans and earn us additional money.
Perhaps acquire an liquor license so that we can sell alcohol, if this is considered, we will have to contact and talk to Tracie or John to obtain permission.
Just some ideas we tossed around.

Juror Discussion Open

PLEASE COMMENT

How does everyone feel about the issue of having a Juror for the show? The deal is that if we have a Juror, they might want to pick who shows, meaning not everyone will have pieces in the show.

Or we could try to instruct the Juror to pick Best in Show, or Award categories.

Or, if we get a Juror to pick who shows, that show could be on for the first half of the week, and then everyone could show for the second half of the week.

Let us know how you feel about it so we can try to find someone that fits everyones wants.

Thanks!
Drew

Meet the Jurors:



Leslie Baldwin
Photography Editor
Texas Monthly
Leslie Baldwin, photography editor of Austin, Texas-based Texas Monthly, made a pinhole camera out of a shoebox for a sixth grade science project and was hopelessly hooked. She earned degrees in fine arts and art history from the University of Texas, indulged her wanderlust with European jaunts and was an au pair in Paris [France]. Her next stop was New York, where she found freelance gigs—eventually becoming Matt Mahurin’s studio manager and then cover coordinator for Time creative director Arthur Hochstein. After eight years in New York City, a little homesick and a lot hungry for genuine Tex-Mex, Baldwin jumped at an offer from Texas Monthly and moved back to Austin in 2003. She is married and has a young daughter.
