Sad News
Unfortunately, due to the DVD release date being pushed back without our knowledge we will not be able to hold the Helvetica: A Documentary screening this evening. I know everyone was looking forward to this, but there is little we can do at this point, unless you're interested in staring at a blank wall for 80 minutes.
We will however be having a sweet AIGA meeting at 6:30 in which we will further discuss and plan the holiday swap party! Please come, especially if you have some sweet ideas or just want to be more awesome!
Helvetica event will now be on November 28th, same time same place!
I hope everyone has an awesome break and a sweet thanksgiving!

MTg. 11.07.07
HELVETICA film/
Hey guys, so here are the final shirts that will be made:
01- H is for Helvetica
02- What the Helvetica
03- All the cool kids are doing it
* remember, if you want a shirt....step 1: bring your own (unless you want to pay for a shirt that we have $5)
step 2: have $2 on you for every pull that you do on each shirt
step 3: E N J O Y .
For the month of December:
We plan on having a gift exchange/holiday party the day before reading day! BUT (yes, there is always a but in the way...LOL) but i digress...anyway, we have some minor rules that one should follow should you choose this exchange mission.
1- Created/handmade gifts are created at your own discretion for price/ but there is a limit if you do buy a gift (cop OUT!) its $10
2- if you don't bring any gift....you gets NONE!
3- re-gifting is great...what they don't know won't hurt them!
4- each box will get a number and then each person that brought a gift will draw a number out of a hat.
5- COMPLETELY wrap your present please.
***** Further details will be coming SOON!
Lastly, the AIGA room is sooooo BORING that we want to paint the walls and decorate with awesome shit...lol! So if you have a jumbo sharpie and feel like designing something (TASTEFUL) go for it! Think we plan on having a specific date for that....so we'll have further details with this memo.

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.
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!)

Film Fantastic!
Firstly let me just thank everyone who helped out with screen printing!
They look absolutely amazing!
Special thanks to TJ for ordering the shirts and getting the screens burnt!
Here is the Rundown for our role in the Film Fest.
We have 100 shirts printed for sale.
We will be getting a list from Ben informing us who has registered.
Registered participants can get ONE shirt for $7
each additional shirt will be $10 this is also the price for the public
We need someone to please make a poster for the table
The poster needs to say the following
- Who we are! Virginia Tech Chapter of AIGA
- What we're selling! T-Shirts!!!
- Shirt Prices - $10, 1 Shirt for $7 if you are registered for the film fest
- CASH ONLY
I (Jenn) am more than willing to print the poster if someone can design it.
I have paper to print 13 x 19 and will print it
but I need it BEFORE 9PM FRIDAY
We need to transport the shirts! From VCD Space to Hancock
Around 4:45 or so, we SHOULD be able to pull up in that little parking lot by Hancock
Someone will have to stay in the car while two or more run the shirts in.
If we can get a driver and a loader and then have a 1 or 2 at Hancock to unload
we should be able to do this in less than 15 minutes no problem
Right now we have people 2 people signed up to sit 5:30-6.
It might be better if we had atleast one more person there
as this will probably be when most people show up.
We need 2-4 people to set up at sit from 4:50 to 5:30
We also need 2-4 people after 6 til about 6:30
or until the crowd thins and everyones watching films
don't worry! we know everyone wants to watch all the films!
We need a clean up crew! Since we arent selling food
it should be pretty much boxing up the extra shirts we aren't gonna have!
However, we still need people to be there in case there is stuff to throw out etc
Please Sign Up Here If You Can Help!
And Now To The Good Part!
Ben said there are 22 teams signed up!!!
WE GET TO KEEP EVERYTHING WE MAKE! HOORAY!!!
good job guys! you all did great at getting more teams signed up
only 8 of them have paid, but hopefully that will be sorted out at the last minute
IF YOU ARE SIGNED UP TO PARTICIPATE AND HAVE NOT PAID PLEASE DO SO TOMORROW!!!
We need ideas for October & November Events
Since Blacksburg Partnership & Deets will be holding Pumpkin Carving Contests
we might not want to do that. so who has ideas!
we need to do something fun! possibly another fundraiser!
something that can promote design
something that can help us unite as a group
Lastly, we still need AIGA VT logos!!
This is what I came up with
Feel free to play with the idea of the squares or come up with your own!
AIGA uses Garamond Italic, but you dont have to if you dont want to
oh and comment on what you think of my idea please!
plus post your own logo ideas!
I think/hope that is it for now! See you at the Film Fest!!!

//FIRST Mtg Reminders//
Hey A.I.G.A members-
Just a few reminders for next week//
01- We are looking for one position, the web master. So holla at Jenn or Jessica if you are interested. Their emails are: Jenn Burch/ jmburch@vt.edu & Jessica Harllee/ jharllee@vt.edu
02- FILMfest// a.)We plan on selling can sodas and t-shirts, so if you are WILLING and able to help sell those for 30 minute increments, we would highly appreciate you letting us know what time you would be able to volunteer some of your time.
b.) Just a reminder, we are meeting on the 25th and the 26th at 6:30pm, for screen printing the shirts we'll be selling. So if you can't make it on Tuesday...just stop by and help on on Wed. night.
c.) As for the selling of shirts, the conditions are: Right now Ben has 13 teams signed up for the film fest, if we can manage to get 8 more teams to sign up, that totals 21 teams we get to keep ALL THE MONEY! However, if we can not get the total sign up to 21 teams=63 people, then Ben is going to take $3 (per sold shirt) for using his artwork. Now guys this seems like a pretty sweet deal so how bout' it? Let's start getting other people to sign up! We can totally do this, just ask your friends at Radford, friends that are into film, and (of course) your crazy friends that are down for anything...cause we ALL have at least know one of them!
03- AIGA shirts & LOGO// We have plans to have a design for our own t-shirts, so start designing an A.I.G.A logo. Have fun with it!
04-EVENTs// Once a month we're going to try to have one event per month. For example, this month we are helping Ben out with the Film fest, and October the pumpkin carving contest. With the pumpkin carving contest, we want some ads/ posters and maybe t-shirts...so start those creative juices flowing for ideas. For November, we need ideas (even if they are crazy as hell, just let us know...we're up for anything, as long as it's legal!). For December, we want to have a get together and perhaps do "white elephant."
05- Membership// WE are thinking for A.I.G.A, that if you help out with the selling of shirts and drinks (or even making the shirts) that we can somehow reduce the price of the membership cost for you. Think about that...and let us know what your thoughts are on that.
