Student Exhibition Fee $50 deposit - FINAL DEADLINE

As you all know, the deadline for the $50 deposit was required by last friday, June 7th. Thankyou to those who have paid their deposits (or even better - the full amount). HOWEVER - there are still a lot of people who have not paid their deposits.

We are all students, so we understand that money can be quite scarce at times. So if you are having trouble with paying the deposit for the exhibition, come see any of us exhibition commitee, or one of your major elective representatives, and we will sort something out for you (such as an extended payment schedule, similar to the way tafe let you pay fees - in weekly installments).

Those who do not pay their exhibition deposit of $50 by the end of this term, will unfortunately not be able to exibit
(unless you have come to see us for a weekly payment plan). I know this may seem harsh, and your probably all about ready to kill us! but if you think about it, its only fair. The Graduate Exhibition a team effort, everyone is required to help out in order for it to work.
So if you have not paid your $50 deposit, can you please pay this by no later than friday in week 20, to any of the representatives.

www.geocities.com.graduate_exhibition02

I have pretty much finished putting together a webpage for all of this exhibition information. It is Now online for everyone to view. it is just an exhibition information page - no portfolios or other stuff. The site contains information such as:
- Important Notices regarding the Exhibition
- Minutes from each weeks meeting (incase you cant be arsed checking your email) (this is not uploaded yet)
- Photos of last years exhibition, so we can begin thinking about how to organise and lay out our exhibition
- 3D rendered visuals of the Exhibition Display stands AND the exhibition Area, where it will all be held. Hopefully this will help you to start thinking about how to set up your own personal design display at the exhibition. It also might help with the exhibition theme assignment next term !!!
- Contacts of ALL students, lecturers, commitee members and representatives.
- Links to good design websites and other random shit.
- Message Board for you to post any ideas, comments or abuse regarding exhibition related stuff. Your comments will be forwarded (via email notification) to the exhibition commitee, so we can raise your suggestions & ideas at the next meeting.

Exhibition Theme Assignment

In the first two weeks when we return from holidays, there will be a short 2 week assignment given to EVERYONE, in either promotional design class with Mary Kelly, or Information Design with Dylan Buckee. Basically this assignment is going to be a short and simple task, where everyone will be required to just put down some rough sketches, and concepts and scribbles onto paper (nothing flashy...just rough visuals) along with a paragraph or so explaining your theme.
All of these ideas for the theme will be put up on a wall in one of the main graphic design rooms. Basically there will be a chance for everyone to vote on which theme ideas they think are the coolest. Once narrowed down, the best idea will be further developed into a kick ass exhibition, by teams of people. The reason we will be dong it this way, is because an awesome concept is more likely to come from 50+ people (and 50+ designs) as oposed to only a few people and a few designs. We want to have an awesome exhibition - and totally piss on anything that has ever been done before ! (excuse my french)
When the final theme is chosen, we will require volunteers to help to put this thing together, because obviously it cant be all done by one person - there needs to be like 10+ people at least working on the whole thing.

Thats about it for this week,
Cheers!
Dan.
