Useful notesmdcm3002-08_-packaging-lecture
There is a lot to think about when you have to Exhibit your work!
It is however really worth while when you take the time to package it with some consideration.
This need not be a costly or time consuming exercise, but it does need to be considered and you’ll be happy you did! This is all part of the whole thing!
Imagine someone says, I love your work, could I have a copy to show a festival or prospective employer..they are more likely to keep your work close at hand if its nicely packaged.
Please find attached notes to help with this and some templates that may help and save you some time.
Keep it simple and have fun with it!
I will put some CD & DVD insert templates into the class drop boxes on the school server if you would like to use them.
All meet at IoMyers.
Group Leaders will direct you in terms of meetings and what they feel needs to happen.
Bump In and Out and Set Designers and guides/invigorlators will meet Mark IoMyers.
PR/Advertising/ Overall look meet Paul & Su IoMyers.
New due date for A4 Exhibition Report 20%

All planning and organisation centers around your Group and class time slot.
Note:
Organise your group then work out which slot you can all enroll in.
Students will form groups of 3-4 from within their enrolled time slot only.
Time slots are not discipline specific so if you have a “group” in mind you should all enroll in the same time slot, the room number is not important.
Once you have enrolled, no changes will be allowed between time slots unless it can be done online by students or via a direct swap with another student which must be organised by the students involved and approved by the mdcm3003 Convener.
If you can’t all enroll in the same time, then you must work out another group.
CALL FOR ENTRIES runs from 1 April to 30 July 2010.

Dear mdcm3002 students,
A few things to consider now you have refueled and full of chocolate post Easter
Attitude for Ongoing Success
This session you have been asked to make a project by yourself.
Some of you have embraced this task with much enthusiasm and willingness to have a go!
Loving the challenges.
This is an attitude that will help ensure ongoing success and satisfaction.
While others sit back and wait for someone else to sort things out for them or worse still look for reasons why they can’t do it or for someone or something else to blame.
This session is a reality check!
A hint to help you refocus! The learning this session is in the struggle and held within your quest to solve problems and find answers to get the job done. So don’t be put off by the challenges, it is supposed to be challenging, otherwise there is no possibility for learning.
Be resourceful and be intelligent, build upon what you do know and can do and avoid being overwhelmed by your own fear of failure or fear of success or expectations about how you think things should or ought to be. This is how it is, deal with it! be in the moment and as I saw a sign the other day, own the moment!
Work out what you need to know and focus on that! No one can know and do everything!
You will not fail if your efforts are sincere and committed. We do not expect yu to be experts when you are still in many cases beginners. There will be no hand holding or spoon feeding next year, so why not start practicing now when it is still safe to make mistakes.
Next session you will be working with clients who will expect you to be the ones with the answers, work out how to find answers for yourself.
If you are in deep trouble and without solutions, speak to your teachers or speak to me. Alyssa
Note: I cleared the school server drop box at 4.03pm on Thursday week 5. (As per the course outline) I noted there were some people who had not delivered.
If you dropped your work after this time and date, then your work will not have been collected from the drop box and will not be marked.
If this is you, you will need to ensure that you send a copy of your Project Proposal pdf directly to your tutor ASAP explaining why you didn’t hand in as directed to the school drop box on time, and put a hard copy of your Project Proposal into the drop box Level 3 Webster, with a request for an extension / explanation for the convenor Alyssa Rothwell stapled to it.
Even if you just decided to hand in late, and loose some marks, you must make an official notification and request an extension from Alyssa Rothwell and notifying your class teacher of your intensions.
You will not pass the course if you do not submit all assessment components.
It is unprofessional to not communicate with the people you are working with.
We can help you if there is a problem but you must communicate!
“Sticking your head in the sand” and hoping everything will be all right is not an effective long-term solution for anything, and will not work for this course.
