Meeting Tonight - (Oct. 28, 2009)

Hey All,
Just wanted to let you know that we will be holding a meeting tonight (Oct. 28, 2009) at 8pm in Katzen 204. We will be discussing the open letter to the university in regards to their use of Katzen. We need as many people to attend as possible so we can get signatures.

We are also looking for some people to do some design work. This could be a good chance for you to build up your portfolio. -More details at the meeting.

Rashad brought up the idea of doing an inspiration wall, so feel free to come with some things you might want to contribute. We will be discussing how we will be handling the wall.

After we will be holding a critique, so come prepared with some of the things you have been working on.

If you have any general design questions (theory or technical) you can bring those up during critique.
