At our design-a-thon on the 14th, one of the things you can work on is a 2010 calendar poster. We will vote after the holiday break on which one we like best, and we will get it printed for members to take home. These posters will be due the week we come back from break..

Here are the requirements of the poster:

• Must be 16″ x 20″
• Must be 300DPI
• Contain every day of the 2010 year (I don’t say every month because you are not restricted to the typical monthly grid layout)
• Must use images you are allowed to use (creative commons, purchased stock images, etc.).

These are just a few requirements, if we think of any more we will let you know!

So our last design-a-thon was a big success. We had a great showing and it was a lot of fun. So we decided to do it again.

We will hold it Monday December 14th in the WTCC at 6:00pm.

There will be a holiday theme. We will have some classic holiday films, holiday treats, and maybe even a holiday guest!

We will also be working on our next group contest, which I will post more information on shortly. We will be designing 2010 calendar posters. They will be 16×20, and we will vote for the best one. The best one will be printed, and distributed to the group. Stay tuned for more information.

So come with some ideas, some inspiration, and some holiday spirit!

OK, so with all that has been going on with the bus trip, what is actually going to happen? Well this is what this post is about.

The NYC bus trip for 2009:
December 11th
We will be leaving from Gaebe Commons around 7am
We will return some time later that night.
The cost will be between $10-$20 (We will know exactly as we get closer).

Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts, Sterling Brands is not able to give us a tour of their studios during the month of December. We are however pursuing a few other leads for the design studios that we will tour and we will announce where we will be going as soon as we have it confirmed.

So what now? Well, because of the limited seats on the bus, it will be first come first serve. So if you are interested in coming, make sure that you reserve your seat ASAP.

You can do so by either emailing us at aigajwu@gmail.com, or calling our Google Voice number and leaving a message! Our GV number is (762) 333-AIGA.

So make sure you are checking in for more details! We will need you to respond quickly to us if you are going because we will need a few things from you in order to get the trip to happen such as emergency contact information.
