Just a quick note about the AO B&W illustration.
We still dont have the exact dimensions for the illustration, so please all be aware that your designs may need to be altered to fit, so it's probably best not to get your artwork completely finished at this stage.
Hopefully we'll know soon.

RRR Advertising
I just looked into advertising on RRR radio.
I think it's important for us to advertise outside of the art community. Illustrators Australia can notify their members, who are other illustrators. Dropping off flyers at art shops and unis isn't the audience that are likely to be able to afford or require our services??
I thought RRR radio would be good and it's very cheap to advertise on air. It's $30 per 30 second announcement and they have a package which is $300 for 10 ads.
We have $120 left in our account and perhaps we could all chip in for the remainder. It's works out to $15 each.
In case you don't RRR it is a communtiy radio station with12,000 individual subscribers with a weekly audience of 329,000.
Let me know your thoughts...

Minutes - 24th January Meeting (@ Lukes)
Hi All,
The next meeting is Thursday the 10th Feb at 7pm at Lukes. Stick around afterwards to have dinner, a chat, and pat a cat (your choice of fiesty short haired domestic black or posh, fluffy and possum-like).
Here are some other important dates:
Feb 21 - Have a full colour image for the postcards/invite. The size is approximately A6 but exact dimensions will be given once we here back from the printer. Be warned....any work not given by this date will not be printed!
Feb 28 - Printing resumes
March 14 - Invites to be sent out and taken to artshops, cafes, Uni etc
In regard to the double AO images, once we hear from Hilde about the exact size of the cardboard, Luke and Robin will let us all know the exact size to create the artwork for print. Once we get this info, we will have 7 days to get the piece finished and sent. All the details of what are needed will be provided, so watch this space.
9x5 boards - were supplied by Jackie last night. If u didn't get one, let Jackie know. What was decided was that there will be NO theme for these pieces, but that they should be a personal piece that expresses yourself as an artist (since they will be shown in partnership with your personal artist statement.
Logo - I think is pretty much resolved to work as a "wheel" and also as a "flatter line of text". (sorry, dont know how else to describe it).
The end.. for now,
Lou

End is the Beginning- chloe m
Sorry team for missing this evening meeting, some things with my brother have not been so great lately. Anyway, this is the current state of my A0 installation illustration, I still want to work with the composition of the figure however this is where she stands so far.. not completely done but really just need to fix up and tidy up.
I have also given thought to the external works away from the installation where I had mentioned at the meeting last saturday at the 1000pound bend, I was interested in working with furniture, I now am considering sticking to several varieties of chairs (yes, I am thinking everyone is reflecting and groaning of their own chairs project in second year) researching now with materials and the method.
Hope this evenings meeting went well..
what can I do for the next meeting?
What else is there to do for the exhibition that I can help out with?

Janus
Hi,
I have posted my B/W illustration. It is of the Greek god Janus. One face looks toward the future while the other looks back to the past.

£1000 Bend Floor plan
Luke, Louise, Lorena, Chloe and myself went into £1000 Bend today.
We did some measurements and worked out where the installation will go. I've attached a map and calculated how much space we get each, roughly.
We each have 2.5 metres approximately of wall space.
Let me know if you have any questions.

January 13 - Meeting Minutes
Meeting was held at uni with Colleen and Stephen, and nearly everyone was there which was great.
EXHIBTION DATES
Luke has confirmed the dates of the exhibition....
Set up and installation is on Tuesday 22 March
Opening night is Friday 25th March
The exhibition is only open for 1 week, but at this stage I'm not sure if we'll be packing up on the Monday or Tuesday of the following week.
Absolutely everyone MUST be there on the 22nd to set up. Sorry but no excuses.
OPENING SPEAKER
We are hopefully getting Dave O'Neil to open the show, but Stephen will be following this up.
INSTALLATION
For the instalation, each persons image will be a B&W print, basically the size of 2 x A0 (portrait) sheet joined together to form one image, so it will be long and skinny. Luke or Robin will let us know the exact size real soon, with a template to be supplied by Luke.
We are also going to seek sponsorship from "Makedo" clips so that we can put the installation together, but it seems likely that NMIT willl pay for them if this cant happen, as they'll be able to use them for other purposes in the future.
Colleen is also going to try to get sponsorship from Deans Art, Computers Now, and who ever we use as our printers.
INDUSTRY SHOW
Stephen reiterated that this is an "industry show" not a "graduate show". He read a media release blurb that he and Colleen will use on the NMIT website that speaks of what the show is, and also promotes the Illustration course. It will officially be referred to annually as the "NMIT Bach of Illustration Industry Show".
LOGO
Levine has designed a great little logo of a guinea pig running in a revolving wheel. A few suggestions were made before she goes into final artwork, but it looks like a "rubber stamp" image, with hand drawn type of 'the end is the beginning' incorporated into the outline of the wheel (see previous post for an early rough).
The logo will be used on the website and catalogue.
Thanks Levine!
How to make £
To make a pound symbol (£) on your keyboard, it's Option 3.
Catalogue Design
Any thoughts, please bring to the table. Me and Luke (and possibly others) will be meeting with Stephen at the NMIT Preston printers to get ideas on options and costs to better inform us on which direction is both budget conscious and sexy.
WEBSITE
We will be making a webpage (thru Blogger) that will have links to our individual websites, and will contain select images of the works in the show. This will act in relation to the invite, for further info on the show and the participating artists.
One thought is that we do a really simple page in the lead up to the show, and then once it opens, then add all the images that are in the show, so that it isn't a spoiler before the fact, but will be a great catalogue of the exhibition that we can keep online for the rest of time.
Some, as yet unspecified person will need to design/do this.
NEXT MEETING
is at Lukes House. We have decided to do an after hours time so hopefully no one works at this time. (Bring a couple of dollars and we can maybe get a few pizzas for dinner.)
The date is January 24 at 7pm. Contact Luke via email for address.
As we will need to put out media releases, and compile the catalogue, we will need a colour image from everyone that you are really happy with to promote yourself. It may be that we can update the image if u end up doing a picture you like better, but we can't guaratee that time will allow for this to be possible.
We will also be meeting at the Gallery tday to work out how much space we will all have, and to see how the installation should go. No drama's if u cant make it. 2pm if u can!
Love you and leave you,
Louise

More structural ideas
Just another idea
I like the suggested idea of a book. Maybe something where the book covers are joined implying an endless story...

Guinea pig sticker
Just wanted to show you this because it's cute. In one of my classes we made stickers, a little girl called Paige (about 7yo) drew this guniea pig.
