FIRST MEETING 20.01.16

In the first meeting, we established what needs to be done in the time between now and the launch of the exhibition:

• Make a Facebook group
• Come up with roughs for poster designs
• Devise a list of professionals to invite 
• Research where we can print the posters
• Think of businesses that would advertise our posters

SECOND MEETING 26.01.16

The second meeting was a lot more productive with procedures beginning to take place and shape. We have made a Facebook group so that we can communicate all together and discuss ideas and meeting times.

Here are some really quick roughs I came up with for the poster design (emphasis on  really rough). But I look back now and realise that they are very cliche, and they surprisingly weren't chosen for the final design...

We came up with a solid list of where we can display our posters and fliers:

• Cafe 164
• Belgrave
• The Wardrobe
• Leeds University Union
• Smoothie Company
• Village Books
• Fred Aldous
• Lanes
• Corn Exchange
• LCA reception
• Munro House Reception

After discussing with Fred, we have chosen to print 25 A3 posters and 150 A6 fliers, which will cost a total of £22.00. 

The poster must include:

• LCA logo
• CMV logo
• 'BA(hons)Illustration

I have also arranged a meeting with Andrew Craske, head of marketing, so that he can send around an email throughout the college to invite students and members of staff to the exhibition.
