Here is a rundown of the things that were discussed at this weeks exhibition meeting:There
have been quite a few developments regarding exhibition fundraising ideas this
week. Heres a couple of them..
- Sean Steffanoni has come up with a pretty bitchin' idea for fund raising and
mayhem, which is to hold a LAN Network party utilising WASADM's new Powermac computers,
and the cable network. Anyone will be able to come along, and for a small fee,
they will be able to play games such as Castle Wolfenstein and Quake 3 Arena,
and basically shoot the sh@#!t out of eachother! Its a hell of a lot of fun !
Take out all of that assignment deadline stress by shooting eachother in Quake
3 !
If you have any suggestions, comments, ideas, etc..contact Sean Steffanoni via
eMail... [email protected]
- Another idea in the works is a night out on the town! We are trying to organise
a party to be held at somewhere like The Paramount, Palas, or the Varga Lounge.
There will be stuff like DJ's, Drinks, Food, and good times ! Proceeds will go
towards the exhibition. This fundraising idea is still in the works.. so if anyone
knows some good perth DJ's, or good venues or whatever, contact any of the commitee
members via eMail, in person, or the Noodles suggestion box™
- We are now looking for major sponsors for our exhibition. We will contacting
local and interstate businesses this week, by phoning, eMailing and posting letters.
If anyone has any contacts, or knows of any businesses that might be able to sponsor
us, or help out in some way (eg: lending of equipment, catering, drinks...etc),
please let us know, by eMailing Dan or Skye...or by placing a note with the company
name & details on a slip of paper, into the Noodles Suggestion Box™
located in the WASADM office.
Dan eMail: [email protected]
Skye eMail: [email protected]
Remember the sponsors do not have to be design related businesses. anything ranging
from computer supplies, to food, or even monkeys that do tricks, would be extremely
helpful !
- Graduate Exhibition Student Levy
As you all are aware, we have commenced collection of the student exhibition levy
over the past two weeks. In order for us to have an exhibition, and start purchasing,
hiring & organising stuff for the exhibition, we need funds! So, a deposit
of $50 (of the total $150 levy) is required to be paid by Friday June 7th.
Your representatives from each major elective will be available to collect the
funds during your classes this week.
$150 may seem like a fair bit of beer funds, but remember just how much you will
be getting out of the exhibition :
- a kick ass exhibition, showcasing all of our work from the past 3 or more years
- the attendance of a huge chunk of WA and interstate creative professionals and
potential employers
- the chance to get your work seen & noticed by industry creatives
- great exhibition venue
- Beer, food and wine
- a giant 200 foot tall jerbal-ferret hybrid, with six ears and 42 arms. (no not
really, i can't back that one up..)
Heres the list of representatives from each major elective, and their
eMail addresses:
- There are still a few people not on Dan's eMailing list for exhibition updates,
and essential craziness. So if any of these people are in your classes, can you
please get them to eMail me (Dan) [email protected]
They are:
Olivia Lamont
Gritchai Suktham
Kirillie Moylan
Kasia Mazurkiewicz
Zac Harvey
Nick Carter
Ryan Welch
- The news on the exhibition theme, is that we will all be undertaking an assignment
in promotional design and information design classes (whichever one you are in)
first project next term (term 3). Basically, once the assignment is completed,
they will all be put up in one of the studio rooms, and there will be a voting
system, where every student, and lecturer can give their opinion as to which theme
they think works best.
So start thinking of some crazy ideas, and get those concepts happening! REMEMBER
- dont just think of crazy names, think of the whole look and feel of the exhibition
identity will be. right down to invites, gift packs....or giant laser beams !
(i dunno, i just threw that one in..)
Wotttttya think ? - let me know if you have any questions.. [email protected]
Heres some names that have been suggested so far...this may help you to spark
a few ideas...
