Jade - Work on 'history' and 'signature story' (ask Peter to check and give advise)
Britt - Prepare picture spreads, 2 spreads of 'people' one of 'space' and one of 'problems'

We'll check our initial layouts with Matt and ask for guidance when it comes to name for mag. (Peter, which word could we use instead of 'problems'?.)

Thursday w10 meeting

On Monday we'll work out when to meet up and work on this before Thursday.

FOR NEXT WEEK:

Name of mag!! IDEAS?
Decide on which fonts we want to use for our mag.
Show a packaged set up indesign file of the mag to Matt.

We decided on a letter mark. yeeeey :)
And we discussed the layout and decided against a newspaper, instead its now a magazine focused on typography to connect to the library target market. :)

I'd like to go to a bigger library or something, i feel like i'm still not sure what was there before?.. anyone agree?

Tuesday 28/4 Meeting.

In Thursday's class (Week 10) we'll DECIDE on the shape and size of our Mag!? Bring any ideas you might have. Brittany will bring a Manly Daily Mag that we can have a look at, we were talking about maybe distributing our mag inside the Manly Daily as a separate section?

Britt will also bring pics that we'll have a look at and start paring up pics to texts.. :)
Jade is interviewing the architect Feiko Bouman who designed the library building and market place. SO COOL! Hopefully he'll agree on giving us a photo of him and he can be one of our signature stories.
I will conduct a few more interviews with locals on the weekend.

Oh and don't forget to bring final lettermark ideas done in ILLUSTRATOR ready for use more or less. :)
See u then!

Thursday w9 meeting

- Letter mark has come down to 4 finalists which we will work on separately for next Thursday when Matt wants to see a hole heap and we can make the Final decision.

- Peter said our initial drawings & ideas look good, he was very positive.


When is the next meeting?
We talked about meeting up on Sunday but the logistics of it didn't work out. Instead we will meet up at uni on Tuesday morning 8.30. We have 2h to plan out how to divide the magazine / what to put in where (which we've sort of started we just need to get more specific). We will also divide tasks when it comes to writing and interviews more. Jade has started on the history bit and Peter clarified today that it's more a narrative and not a history lesson. And the interviews "make it fun". An engaging intro and a conclusion that ties in to the beginning.

Thanks everyone! We're getting more and more done and we're on time which is great!
