Just a reminder, folks - your days of handing in a submission disc wrapped in a scrappy fold of paper with your name and unit title scrawled across it in pen are officially over: please note - number 15 on your blog content 'must have' is:
'Your submission disc artwork/branding'
You need to think of yourselves from this point on as young professionals who demonstrate their professionalism in everything they do - that includes the quality and care and attention to your submission materials. You can ready your disc artwork and get your disc printed in advance of week 5. Do not leave it until the last minute. Take pride in your stuff. For a template, go to Unit Materials and scroll down.
Not everyone keeps up with group blog, so please spread the word.
(Apologies for default disc artwork image - orchids are for demonstration purposes only!)
Umm Phil does it have to have a colour print on the disk? I use lightscribe disks so I can print labels using my dvd drive the downside is that they're monochrome only. I have software to make as fancy a design I like but would a monochrome label be passable?
ReplyDeleteYes, Ollie - indeed - you're one of the few who has routinely 'not' handed in some duff old disc wrapped in chip paper - it's a professionalism issue - not a b/w vs colour. I want to see a design thru-line from blog, to disc, to power point - if it goes public, it looks the business - simple as!
ReplyDeletePerhaps one of the few consistant things I do! I recommend Lightscribe disks and DVD drives because they're dead simple to make and look nice :)
ReplyDeletespread the word - and you're going to be bloody great come crit day, I know it :D
ReplyDeleteIf I work hard I'll be Amazing :)
ReplyDeleteAww there's a lot of love here, I like it! :P
ReplyDeleteBlimey. It can be anything then! Maybe ranging from a video game cover/DVD graphic or character concept. Something of a snippet to allow the viewer (consumer/plebian) to continue guesstimating what it is about?
ReplyDeleteAre we doing the cover of the case too or just the disk?? :O
ReplyDeleteprofessionalism, professionalism, professionalism
ReplyDeleteObviously - what with the emphasis being on drawing, you might simply take one of your gestural storyboard drawings and make that into the 'art' of your submission disc. You've got s**t-loads to do, and this is a minor task, so don't pull your focus, but look to the work you're producing and capitalise on it for your own project branding. I want the idea of a design 'thru-line' to become second nature to you - as opposed to 'urgh, another bloody job to do' - in reality, people - it's a basic!
I think I managed to print on my first two hand in discs but the printer was moving house on the last disc so it was a one-off unprofessional disc. Is a plastic disc sleeve good enough to hand it in with though? I don't have any hard cases
ReplyDeleteyep - a plastic sleeve is fine, folks- just no more orphan discs, no more sorry folds of tea-stained A4, and more blank discs...
ReplyDeletesorry - not 'more blank discs' - I meant to type 'no more blank discs'!
