WEEK 10 and lots happening here - good to see!

Welcome to Week 10. I think that both Lauren and I are pleased to see the increase in posting in response to the lecture discussion points this week. It really is important that you catch on to this. For one thing it makes the blog so much richer. Your posts read really well, are well referenced and illustrated and discuss very pertinent examples. The other important thing to remember is that your online responses are integrated into the Research weighting in the course assessment schedule. Research attracts 40% of the total mark for this current project.

I'm posting a link to the next lecture which in  timely manner deals with Breaking Rules Well. Given our current project to design an online publication such a theme allows you scope to experiment wiht the design and layout and the content of your publication. I do like the themes suggested by the range of titles as I mentioned earlier.

The associated tasks for this week include:

Discussion Point: Reflect on your perspectives and your position on the relevance of typographic conventions and traditions in contemporary publishing contexts. Discuss your views in the context of relevant examples. Post your response to the Studio Blog.
Studio: Group to select by vote the design concept/grid that will be adopted for Project 2.
Self-directed: [SR3]: Students to keep a daily account of their involvement in the group production team in order to reflect on the processes undertaken and their role in the project. 

I'll post an update regarding he progress of the 3D files asap. Stay tunes for more information and instructions regarding this.
