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!

Get up, stand up!
The student voice is and should be the most powerful tool for change we have here at MCAD, but unfortunately it's often a very quiet and underrepresented one. We all know times are tough right now, and MCAD is no exception to the substantial loss of endowments, decrease in enrollment, lay-offs, and demotions that are rampant in higher education. With the MCAD Presidential search AND the Design Dept. Chair Search currently in full swing, it's the perfect time for you guys to get involved in what's going on here at MCAD.
Next week is jam packed with such opportunities. I highly encourage you all to attend all the meetings below. Get informed, voice your hopes and concerns, and come armed with challenging questions for the authority that has such influence on your MCAD community and culture! Not just for your own sake, but for the students who succeed you.
Friday, 2/13, 12pm-1pm in College Center: Open Forum with President O'Keefe
+ All students are invited to join us on Friday in the College Center for an open forum with Michael O'Keefe. President O'Keefe will make a short presentation on a variety of timely topics ranging from MCAD's overall budget, enrollment numbers, parking updates, etc. Plus there will be plenty of time for Q&A, so bring your questions!! –Via MCAD Intranet
Monday 2/16, 3:30-5pm in Aud 150: Presidential Search Presentation #1
+ Open Forum with Faculty, Students and Staff. (If you have class during this time, encourage your professor to have the class attend)
Tues 2/17, 12:00-1:00 in Student Center: Design Town Hall Meeting
+ All Design Students and Faculty to attend
Wed 2/18, 3:30-5pm in Aud 150: Presidential Search Presentation #2

Design Club & you?
HELLO!
As you may know, I am studying abroad this semester at the University of Brighton.
So this means...
I am no longer at MCAD to organize Design Club.
Any takers? Design Club & YOU, Spring 2009?
Rally the troops.

a sunday meeting,
HI ALL!
We will be meeting briefly at 3:00pm this Sunday to finish up our packaging for our screenprinted wrapping paper. We need to turn in our finished product to the Main Gallery on Monday the 17th, hence the rush and added meeting. But it will be so fun! Ryan is designing the labels, so we'll be printing those and rolling up our prints. Let's meet outside the Emeritus Room.
See you then!

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!

visit to Olson, tomorrow!
Meet at NOON in the MAIN GALLERY for our studio visit to Olson!
To quote their website:
"We're one of the fastest growing, most decorated creative companies in the country with nearly 170 people and $175 million in billings."
- - - - - - - - - - - -
As with our last studio visit, we'll divide up by who needs to be back to MCAD by 1pm for class and who can linger a bit after 1pm. If you haven't done so already, please email me (jtondera@mcad.edu) to let me if you'll be attending, and how many people you can fit in your car if you can drive.
See you tomorrow!

AIGA tonight!
This week is our 2008 AIGA STUDENT CHAPTER MEMBERSHIP DRIVE!
http://minnesota.aiga.org/
Heather Olson, the director of all the AIGA Minnesota student chapters, will be at Design Club tonight to speak about how the AIGA can benefit students now + beyond college. If you're considering becoming an AIGA member but want to learn more, this is the perfect opportunity for you--- come to the Emeritus Room at 6pm on Tuesday. You may bring the $50 membership check to this meeting or stop by the student center TOMORROW between noon and 12:45pm to give me your check (checks should be made out to the Minneapolis College of Art and Design).
In addition to this already reduced rate $50 membership rate, our Design Department is going to help offset the membership cost and chip in an additional $20, bringing the membership fee down to only $30 (the $20 savings will be given to you in the form of a 'rebate' check from MCAD a few weeks from now in March).
P.S. All entries for the 2008 AIGA Design Show are due to me or Kindra at the meeting tonight! Be sure to bring your printed out designs + entry forms (the Design Department has kindly offered to pay our entry fees).
See you in the Emeritus Room at 6pm!

A Holla!
Hey everyone—
I don't know if anyone will have or has been checking this here blog during our illustrious holiday vay-cay, but this post is interestingly important. Or importantly interesting. Or industriously impotent.
HERE GOES: I am now the design rep for SAC, following in our NYC dwelling best bud Kevin Wade Shaw(shank Redemption)'s eco-friendly footsteps. I am going to be having a meeting with Tom Garret at the beginning of this next semester about what the design department town hall meeting should be like/what things should be discussed. Democracy reigns! I don't know what all to discuss (I have a few ideas, but I am primarily a blank slate when it comes to this stuff) and I am now turning to you, fellow designers, to tell me what things would be best for our town hall meeting and further things that will be of help to the design department. I urge everyone to leave comments on here, or, if you feel better about it, hit me up at dlathrop@mcad.edu. This semester can totes be a big bang if we but in our collective mind hustle and forge new ideas! Paths to excellence! Bringing it on! Spread the word to comic, ad, and illustration majors as well, and together we will be most awesome.
Appreciations!
— Dylan
