2/17 Done!

I am done with the first draft of the handbook and just sent it off to the city for them to look over. I am meeting with them on Friday to critique/discuss the first draft. I am too tired to upload images of it right now as I have spent the entire day finishing it. I will get to the images tomorrow.

I also met with University housing today and I my contact is going to look it over in depth and take from it what he wants to put in the brochure we are doing. I am going to be working on a mock-up of that until he gets me more information.

I have been working on the book all weekend. The book is almost done. Below is the first draft. There are some spreads that aren't complete yet (Toxics, Clean Air, Keeping Water Clean and The Great Outdoors). I plan to have it all done by Wednesday so I can send it to the city before our meeting on Friday.

2/10 IP Thus Far

This weekend I didn't do much IP. I told everyone at the career fair that my website had all the work I was showing them on it. Which it didn't, so I had to get that ready. It is finished - www.devin-macdonald.com - check it out if you want. I spent all yesterday on IP. Here is where I am: I have 11 pages pretty well set. I am a bit behind on what I wanted to send to the city but I can get them what I wanted to get them 8 spreads (16 pages) today or tomorrow. I am meeting with Dwayne Overmyer tomorrow to discuss my book. That will no doubt be very helpful. So, here are the spreads so far.

2/4

This week has been dominated by getting my portfolio ready for the career expo tomorrow. It is also nice to have it ready for when I start applying for jobs. I have done a little bit with my book. Today I set a final timeline I cannot deviate from:

Feb 7-8 : 8 spreads done (drafts)
Feb 13-14 : 12 spread done (drafts) this means I am done with the book.
Feb 15-21 meet with city and critique entire book.
Feb 22-28 (spring break) revisions
Mar 1-7 meet with city again / decide on final design / send to printer no later than March 9th.

This allows me to get the prints back by the 23rd. If something goes wrong I have something for the show but can make another printer run before the actual show. I will have more spreads to show after this weekend.
