10/30 Meeting Synopsis

Hello everyone, just to recap what happened at tonight's meeting.

  • We have decided that attempting to "lynch" Naveen in our Environmental design may pose somewhat of a danger, if an accident were to occur. Because of this we are going to revise our design, and lose the person but keep the pinata. And maybe we'll add some balloons and whatnot to make it seem more festive.
  • Jennie is going to start making the set design sketches for our stage design. As you know, we have adopted a new theme. Which will span over the life of a typical male figure. It will be 5 slides, starting at: birth, continuing to youth, then young adult, then adulthood, and finishing at elder. Each period of time will have it's own specific theme as far as room design. We will keep the same base but will continue to modify it with different decorations and accessories. I expect you guys to start contributing ideas to Jennie by messaging her, or sending me stuff to pass along to her.
  • Your reading assignment was handed to you at the group meeting tonight, please read those pages and take notes on them and email them to me before Tuesday @ 12Noon. Please read the whole entire reading assignment though as it will be beneficial for you to be able to understand what leads to the reading portion you were given, and how your portion leads to the next portion, so on and so forth.
  • By next week, we should have the following items done: a time in which all of us can participate in the actual Live Design, the 5 slides for the stage design as well as any additional ideas or notes you may want to bring to the group.
We will be meeting at our same time and date (Thursday @ 9PM), at the College 8 Cafe. I know we met there for our 1st meeting, but it's a fair trade off for those that had to go out trekking to find Cafe Revolucion tonight. Thank you to those of you that showed up, and for those of you that didn't, you'll be getting an email from me in the next few days.










Happy Halloween!

Collage! 10/23

Team Member: Nick Vezmar

"The idea of the collage for me was that, the more stuff you have, the higher you become. But the higher you are, the more dark and evil you become, which is noted by the dark cloud on the top, and light cloud on the bottom. All of the possessions 'sandwich' in our material world, a dark and gloomy (yet busy) society."








Team Member: Allyson Havener

"My collage is meant to be very green and organic. Utilizing plants and and other green snippets helps accentuate the organic feel."









Team Member: Hayley Nielsen

"This is my collage. Not very stage design-y. But I didn't really have a plan. I just kinda went with it."











Team Member: Marissa Santos

"Fashion inspires me to be creative and runway shows are the only times I am confident. So I created my own runway. The yellow represents the spot light and the circle in the middle is one of the models with many fashion ideas waling down while others surrounded her"








Team Member: Jennifer Ledesma

"My collage defines the tension of music, and takes the concert stage perspective to another level. The notes in the bottom reflect the swirls around the main singer as vibrations of the guitars. And the eyes at the top takes the saying' all eyes on me' to a focus point which is the singer."
