Money – To date we have about $600 in the account and we are in need of $300 more. A list of those who have not turned in their money is on the board. So if you forgot if you paid or not we have you covered. Each committee gets about $200 depending on the needs of other committees

           

Gallery- Tape on floor by the fuse boxes show approx size of gallery spaces. Gallery assignments are on the wall. All switches/ changes must me made and posted on the sheets on the wall by May 3^rd Gallery committee is looking to purchase white fabric for the show to cover up walls, and possibly getting some paint to touch up the temporary walls sitting in the GD lab.

Website – Going for a simple layout. Planning on using black and white as the main colors. Brown was suggested to match the posters, however there is a concern how some logos will look on a brown background. File type and dimensions of logos to be submitted for the website is being determined.

            Bio for the website should be submitted as a comment to the Web Bio post on facebook or on the blog. 5-7 sentences 3^rd person look at older posts on facebook.

New Back of Poster Idea (THE PARADIGM HAS SHIFTED)

So the front of the poster is done, but how about the back?

THE PARADIGM HAS SHIFTED

I think something like this would work swell, with some minor tweaks and maybe some more flair on the lower half somewhere.

That quote says "instead of desigining useless artifacts that benefit a select few, we choose to foster ideas that create innovative and affordable solutions to the problems of the entire globe"
