Mairin says we have 11 members who have paid their dues. All paid members get to be included in catalog.

CATALOG

Andrea came in and brought us some example catalogs and gave us a lot of good info about what we need in order to get started.

Elements of the catalog we need to decide on
Photos - how many per artist? How big? What should be on the cover?

Text - Artist statements and bios for each artist? Andrea said in general Artist Statements should be around 500 words and Bios should be around 100 words

Design - who will design the catalog? Are there design students who can help? Should we put together a simple design ourselves? Is there someone in the group who can put it together?

Dimensions - we saw several examples, but I think we all liked 8" x 10", but will depend on pricing.

Binding - saddle stitch or perfect binding?

Pages - 2 per artist or 4?

Catalog count - how many do we need??


We decided to get a rough estimate of how much things will cost we are going to propose a 30 page, perfect bound, 8" x 10" catalog and see how many we can get with these specifications.

Greg is going to meet with the Union Marketing Dept and get a price so we can go forward.

Right now we have 11 paid members. As of right now, these will be the only members included in the GRADUATE ART STUDENT CATALOG. If you would still like to be in the catalog, you will need to pay your dues by the next meeting time. If we haven't heard from you by the next meeting we can not include you in the catalog. We would love to have everyone included! I think there are about 35 Graduate Students between Visual Art and Film - please come and participate!

NEXT MEETING THURSDAY FEBRUARY 18TH AT 7:15PM IN KSE OUTSIDE 3RD FLOOR ELEVATORS.

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
