HOLLA, it's HELVETICA time...oh and some other things too!
Hey guys,
Yesterday we had a meeting on some "breather" events where we can just chill and relax (sorta!).
First thing coming up for November is the HELVETICA film...
When: 11.14.07 <--take note of the "awesomeness"
Time: 6:30pm for screen printing shirts/ 7pm for the film
Extras: We want to have pre-made buttons and have you make your own shirt (by screen printing, that will be supplied)BUT we do recommend that you bring your own shirt or pay a very low fee of $2 for the use of the screen and the ink. Also, we want to have various designs of the posters advertising for the film...so if you have a SWEET idea, go for it!
***Lastly, if you want to create a design for the T-shirt/ buttons....send us a screen shot of the design and then we'll all vote (by survey) on the 31st of October. Then the designs that are chosen, we'll need the files on the 1st of November.
Second, Holiday swap! Guys this is a pretty good way of getting to know/hang out with your peers...so, we want to have a holiday party and swap gifts, the ONLY catch is: IF YOU DON'T BRING SOMETHING FOR SWAPPING, YOU GETS NONE!
I think we want to either make and be creative on the gifts or either have a dollar limit on how much you can spend on a gift.
Third, start thinking about a t-shirt design for the VT chapter of A.I.G.A....be creative I know for a fact most of us are great in whatever we do....so USE it! It's a contest to show off your "mad Skillz" and most likely, we are going to chose 3 designs for our t-shirts.

Mtg recap.
HOLLA!
Ok, so somethings we discussed were Calendar themes. Some of which are listed but I think we are going with the one that has the asterisk mark beside it.
01-Blacksburg Nitelife *
02-College humor (basically, only things a Blacksburg student would get)
03-weird Blacksburg
04-AIGA gone (buck) wild!
05-holiday inspired
The ONLY thing is now we are starting to get more into the details and we will need you all to help with the process. With the Blacksburg Nite Life, we have a list of 12+ restaurant/bars and we will take picts (of course not just a straight shot of the place..but artistically done) and hopefully we can get their sponsorship in the later details of the process of the calendar. If you would like to help out, leave a comment with your name and email. Or if you have any comments on anything that could help us...give us a holla.
Lastly, we want to have a WHOLE group of us go to get our pictures taken for the VT yearbook the following info. is below:
when/ 22 October 2007
time/ 5 P.M.
where/ in the Old Dominion Ball Room (I prefer to call it the ODB Room...holla!)
*if you CAN make it COME and join us for the greatest picture this campus will ever see!

MTG reCap.
Hey all,
Here's just a short briefing on what went on at the AIGA meeting if you missed it:
01- We are contemplating designing a calendar to earn more money. Some things we need you to do is, come up with a theme and logistics, or just let us know what you think of the whole idea. This can't work unless we know what you think or want to do.
02- For the next meeting we want to have some more logo ideas for our AIGA group.
03- a) After we decided on which logo we'll go with, we will then start the screen printing workshop on putting that specific design on t-shirts, bags and such.
b) That screen printing workshop w/TJ, we would want to happen as our November event. The first week we would learn how to actually make the screens. That following week, we would use the materials to print on shirts/hoodies/ bags and whatever else you want to be printed on.
04- AIGA wants self promotion posters, so start' em up. OF course we have to have consistent information on them but other than that... GO for it! We would love to see what you can do.
05- Lastly, NO Mtg on Halloween (that's just crazy talk if we did!)
