Design Club Happenings!!

Hey Everyone,

This is just a quick email to update everyone with some design club happenings for the next few weeks.

1)TOMORROW at noon there will be students visiting from Kansas City in the student center. They would love to talk with some MCAD students during lunch and do a show-n-tell of design (either stuff you've made or stuff you just think is awesome). The Design Department is providing pizza to students interested in joining the conversation. If you are interested, meet at the round table in the student center at noon tomorrow. If you would like to share a design project feel free to bring that with as well. This is a good opportunity to see what other design students are doing
outside of Minnesota.

2) Tuesday March 24th (next week) at 5:00 design club will be hosting an ice cream social in the student center before the Experimental Jetset Lecture. We have also invited design students from other schools in Minneapolis to stop by and get to know us at MCAD better. Free ice cream, maybe some typographic pictionary games, hmmmmm we are also working on trying to stream the lecture in the student center for those who weren't able to buy tickets. stay tuned for details...


Thanks guys!

Screenprinting in the Printshop on Sunday went super well! Thanks to those who came, and many thanks to Sami, Elliot, & Max for keeping things organized.

REMEMBER, we have the Printshop reserved from Noon - 4pm on the upcoming two Sundays as well. So stop on by, bring your wrapping paper pattern (designed at 18 inches x 18 inches), and get printing! If you haven't been super involved with Design Club thus far, no worries! Better late than never. We'd love to see you there!

Here are just some of the many lovely posters that are now up around the school (and look, no computers!). Thanks to everyone who came on Saturday!

Saturday Poster-Making + FREE PIZZA, mmm!

Green Club is planning a wonderfully festive "Fall Festival" event for MCAD on Thursday, October 25 where there will be music, food, information about sustainability, etc.

As a way for us to use our design skillzzzz to advertise for this event at MCAD, Design Club will host an exciting POSTER COLLECTIVE-- a super fun Saturday afternoon spent creating a variety of poster designs to advertise for this event. Students of all majors are welcome to come to the student center where we can each create a poster (or posters!) in any medium that we'd like.

Please bring all your ARTS + CRAFTS supplies. The goal:: NO COMPUTERS for these posters! I said it. We're going back 2 basics, friends.

Poster Collective
TOMORROW >>> Saturday, October 13
