Funding

Fundraising update
Since we do not have printed catalogue we only need to raise around £15 000. So far all companies that we’ve contacted refused us. Some of you may have friends or family in companies that we could approach for money. If anyone needs sponsorship pack or any other questions send an email to csmgraphicsdegreeshow@googlemail.com
Can you also please let us know about the answers, even if they say no so we know who you have contacted so we do now approach them twice.
Thanks
Monika

Hot dog sale

Hi everyone!

Thanx to everyone who bought a hot dog today. It went really well, we sold about 90 hot dogs which is about £100 in profit!

We have some hot dogs and buns left and therefore REALLY need people who are free tomorrow over lunch to sell the rest otherwise the buns will go hard and we’ll have to throw them away. there’s 30 left. if you do it between 1 and 2 you can easily sell all of them within an hour. please get in touch with felix because he took the sausages home to put them in the fridge. all the rest (pots, napkins, buns, ketchup, mustard,…) is in the third year studio. I talked to the photography people and they’re happy to lend you the kettle again tomorrow. you can get change from me, i’ll be around tomorrow from 10.30 onwards so please let me know.

See you

Annett

Update from 3rd March

Hellooo ha. Good dinner team.
Here is an update of the show according to what I have been updated with. Apologies if it is ever so slightly off.

T-Shirts
Joe is off to Istanbul as of Thursday. Louise will be heading up in place.
Designs and illustrations to Steve/Louise. We need volunteers for screen printing during the final week of term and possibly next week. The main screen printing day will be on the Thursday 19th of March. The entire screen printing has been booked, all the beds, the entire room. We’ll need lots of help, even if you haven’t screen printed before. It will be a fantastic opportunity for all of us to work together.

Garage Sale
Bring stuff in on Friday. Louise/Francesco/Surya will give more details. However for now all we need to know is there will be a collection point this Friday for old t-shirts/jumpers/books/games/cards etc.
This is panning out to be a fantastic event and I cannot wait to participate within the event!

Alcohol
Rich and Ollie you both need to liase with Felix/Monika. He should have the finalized pdf sponsorship pack.

Party
Jack will be away in Istanbul.
Wesley, ‘Anything But’ is booking the photo studio in the last week of term to hold an inter-year party. It might be an idea to organize a venue after?

Website Design
The main designers for this seems to be Jo/Tom/Adam/Neville/Ronin. However Stina/Louise will organise this group?

Sponsorship
We need more contacts. Leave a comment on this post with the relevant contacts or speak to Felix/Monika.

Publication
Felix, Annett and I will be meeting with Fedrigoni on Wednesday, we will update this post as to its next direction.

Cake Sale
Thursday, bring cakes to Sroop (07967764771)

Fedrigoni Paper visit

Hi all,

I managed to convince Fedrigoni Paper (the Rolls Royce of paper makers) that you are the awesomest bunch of talent on the market and so we agreed on a visit to their brand new Clerkenwell showroom on

Tuesday 24 February at 10am

Fedrigoni Paper Showroom
5th floor
36–38 Hatton Garden
London EC1N 8E
(here is how to get there)

We’ll get (early) lunch from them and chat about the following:

• possibility to print your work on their paper (they may even be able to pay for printing)
• exhibiting your work in their showroom (they get many visits each day from design studios so it’s a great opportunity to show your work)
• running a competition (we can decide on the format) with top prizes such as the full Creative Suite or a MacBook
• them doing a talk about choosing paper, paper mechanics at CSM
• giving you lots of paper swatches/samples

I think we are lucky to get this, so can you please confirm in the comments that you’ll attend. We can take about 25 students and will give preference to those who invest their time and energy in planning the show.

What you missed and what’s coming up

Hi everyone

Yesterday we discussed a lot of the website framework so Neville could develop that along. It was mainly based on how the website would work – how you would search and find people. In short we the pathways have not become defined by the people who chose them but by the work that is shown on the site. For example a designers work could appear in the moving image section if he/she did a piece that was categorized as moving image. The categories will be posted up later to be explained and commented on

In terms of an ‘identity’ last week we realised that its not what we really needed – not for now at least. We’re starting to look for more of a theme, but for the moment it’s not the most important part to develop. After speaking with Val we also realized that most themes/identities get lost within the show. For now lets aim for the basics and get things done and then we can develop things further.

Next Monday will be more focussed on fundraising – events, alcohol, parties, more events, and much more parties and maybe some letters…

And if anyone wants to get more involved with the organisation of the show etc. leave a comment.
