Paul – feedback for his ‘instructions’

5 03 2008

After I received the email from Paul requesting some feedbacks about his work I’ve send him my thoughts

EMAIL 

Hi Paul,

 

I got on your blog side but I cant view the video. I have download your pdf and I love the idea of the certificate. Its a nice way to prove that your work have een seen; can I use the idea of the certificate myself? is that ok by you? (not the same of course J). Some comments for the folding instructions. At first it was a bit confusing when I saw it…it seems that you need to have some experience with printing to understand at once what you need to do. Maybe you can add some photos of how it suppose to look when you fold this out. People have a tendency to understand better with photo-instructions. Overall its a very well build instructions-certificate print out. Well done.

Publication – Peggy – Requesting…

5 03 2008

I have send an email today to Peggy with some requests or better some questions so I can arrange my schedule when I will have time to make the animations and the edit for the loop that its gonna play on the screens to our show

Hello Peggy,

 

Do you know when are we going to have a final logo for our show? And posters?

It will be great if I can have those so I can work  on the piece that it’s going to loop on the screens in the show since everyone seems to be ok with that idea.

 

Thanks a lot

Christos Demosthenous

Greetings felllow publication members,

 

Its been brought to my attention about having a 3D animation – (maybe an opening of the show 30sec with music etc) with Logo design and Poster design viewed on a plasma TV. 

 

This would save £££ on printing posters and also its better for the environment.  We might be able to save a tree branch!  Sorry…Monday morning humor…I’m working on it.

 

Let me know what you all think and if it would be worth bringing up in our next meeting.

 

Cheers,

 

Peggy Jordan

Hi Peggy,

This is Christos from online MADA. I will post some things I can do so you have in mind how you may want to arrange ‘Publication’ things around.

1)      3D animation – (maybe an opening of the show 30sec with music etc)

2)      Logo design

3)      Poster design

4)      Editing of any video

I think it will be nice to have on a plasma TV (or LCD) at the entrance of the show a loop video of the show ‘name’ rather just still posters.

Let me know what you thing.

Christos Demosthenous

Publication – Peggy

16 02 2008

Today we got the update for the MA show from Tara and Katrin. As I wrote on Wikispaces I can help with Publications (http://madigitalarts.wikispaces.com/MA+Final+Show),and now that we have our leaders of each section we know where to send our ideas and thoughts. So I did send an email to Peggy Jordan with what I can do and some ideas. See below the email I send and the reply I got

Hi Christos,

 

I think that is a great idea.  Let me discuss with the other members of the group for feedback.

 

Thanks,

 

Peggy

Pauls Lost

Today (13.01.08) Paul send us an email about his mother lost last Sunday. Well the only thing I could reply to him was a sincerely sorry for his lost.





Comments – Jess

13 02 2008

I resend an old email that Jessica never received about her work and some comments on that. I’m glad that she liked the comments (as she replied to me) and I wish her all the best with her personal and professional life 🙂
