hi all,
for next week please make sure you have your stuff up to par.
some of the work today still feels a bit raw and incomplete, get it going, there's only 2 crits left.
DUE:
INSTALLATION: 2 ITERATIONS
1— final installation piece in class (we will project / install in class & document—i.e. photograph it— for your catalogue
2— site-specific installation around school: make sure you pass your final piece and location by me PRIOR to installing at school. Get all permits etc.
I am at school mondays (A8) & tuesdays (A9) this is a good time for me to look over final details and for you to show me your test installations—on site— before the final one.
EMAIL ME IF YOU NEED SOMETHING, don't post here as I may not see it on time.
CATALOGUE / BOOK
—printed AND COMPLETE: aka, all content, FULL delineation of the installation (piece itself, location, ideation, process)
remember: the purpose of the book is to showcase the work (installation) and give an immersive view of your project, in addition to producing an archive of the ideation process as a whole,
—this includes:
------ artists statement: what the piece sets out to do (intent) and how it achieves this (media, scale, location, narrative, sequence etc)
------pictures (documentation) of the actual installation piece (screengrabs for example)
------pictures (documentation) of the actual installation piece on location (site -specific or model shots)
------ alternate media piece (with full description of purpose and functionality)
POSTERS:
— All posters should be the same size, BW only. BIg logo / iconic. Let's do 30" x 60" like Aaron had today
WEBSITE:
— use indexhibit or cargo or whatever works best for you, BUT site needs to be functional and include all content from catalogue (this is your primary portfolio piece and it should speak for itself, meaning, I should be able to understand what your project is about and see it in pictures as a sequential narrative that grabs me.
any questions welcome
thank you

about indexhibit
Hello everyone,
I am trying to figure out how to use indexhibit~ I have some questions for it.
If anyone knows how to do it, plz tell me.
That is my current situation
1) I have a domain name
2) I have host with dreamhost ( I paid $9 to have it for one year, but they don't provide the database.(mysql)~if i want to get mysql in dreamhost, I need to pay
monthly ($10.95/mo, $49.95 set up fee)
yearly ($9.95/mo, the $49.95 set up fee will be waived)
which is too expensive. Is there anyway to get mysql with lower price?)
3) I want to design with Indexhibit but I can't find where to install the software / sample
4) I don't know how to upload with syberduck
Thanks
Dominique
This message is for Bianca and Carolina.
Hello, I have been searching the projector for a lot of days. I asked the guys in Apple store to see if I can buy it and return it. The answer is NO. They said once I open it, the bulb will be used. That's why I can not return. Tow projectors are more than $1000. I might not be able to afford that.
To Bianca,
Could I borrow your projector for 1 hr( or less) tomorrow morning. Just to project the movie on the wall of the entrance wall and take the pictures.
To Carolina,
I went to the equipment room to borrow the project. They said they only check it out for instructor. Could you help me to borrow it tomorrow morning and I will return it as soon as passible once I take all the pictures.
Thank you very much ~~
See you tomorrow~~

MIDTERM PROJECTION
This message is for Bianca. Sorry, I thought I had your email info, but couldn't find it. I was wondering if I would be able to use your projector during class this Thursday (4/1)? If that's possible I would be in your debt . . . I'll buy you lunch.
Carolina, if you happen to see this message could you forward Bianca's email to me, just in case she doesn't read this. Thanks to all.

Due next week: March 18th
as discussed in class , see below for what's due next week:
LOGO: make small revisions / variations based on today's critique and the selected direction
INSTALLATIONS: continue refining your installations. Just wrote for permissions, so aim at having it done and in full glory by week 10 (expected week of install)
— document your piece as you test it, these images will be content for the book / website
ALTERNATE MEDIA PIECE: keep working on it: bring in a full representation of the concept in this new media. So for eg: iphone app, bring in a 'storyboard' that outlines the usage process, what happens when (aka: sequential design)
WEBSITE: www.indexhibit.org: get familiar with it. Use Dreamhost as host, they are great & friendly. The website's purpose is to showcase the project as a whole, a sort of documentation / representation of the project's concept and execution. Inlcude all media: installation pics, installation media (eg: video), alternate media (iphone app, online video, etc), book pics —once it's done and bound— & process: how you got there
BOOK:
—chose one format
— 5 spreads studying this one format's structure (aka: grid) through body copy, folios and chapter heds (3 main typologies)
— grid: system of information & sequence: main components: margin size, gutters, number of columns, number of rows
—body copy: place body copy on grid variations with other 2 typologies / one typeface and point size per design (egL: one layout is 4 columns, even margins, set in times 9/12——the other 5 columns, wider margins on top & bottom, set in helvtica 8/11 etc)
any questions welcome
look forward to your beautiful work next week!
