when you submit hard copy, please do complete the evaluation form, as this is the only official response i will have from anyone of you; and you won’t believe it, but that stuff gets more and more important: so please fill it out at the ADIP office, viviane will have the copies. many thanks:::rochus

the final submission is on friday july 24, latest at 4pm 

please read careful the following instructions,

if you have any questions please send me an email asap

the submission consists of

SUBMISSION OF ONE DVD AND UPLOAD OF ONE PDF ONTO THE BLOG (maybe it includes a movie link to youtube)

SUBMISSION OF DVD IS AT THE FACHGEBIET ADIP AT 4pm, on level 6, or in the ‘briefkasten’  letterbox for fachgebiet A61 on ground floor,

(when you enter the tu building, you walk right, past the cafeteria and at the far end the left door, there are letterboxes) 

DVD INCLUDES

A_PUBLICATION OR BOOKLET

i hope that you all work with indesign for the documentation, as said earlier, photoshop is not really working for documentations!!!!

ABSOLUTELY important: submit your documentation as ‘packed’ indesign file! that means that in that file all images you used in the document will be saved in a folder in their original resolution, which is important because the pdf alone will provide really low res images.

the dimension of the publication is up to you, the format could i.e. also be a publication which consists of a number of publications, like caitlyn’s, elba’s and laure’s final presentation, but caitlyn, elba and laure will need to document and submit the process and concepts 

you might wanna have _a frontcover with image and title_a contentpage with an overview of what is where in the booklet_kind of chapters which make clear what we are looking at in the following pages, like i.e. Urban occupation action, research, early sketches, first concept, …_a separate final or first chapter on the final design proposal or project result

B_MOVIE FILES

also submit on the dvd any movie files in the best resolution you have as an original file and not downsized youtube files.

PDF BLOG SUBMISSION INCLUDES 

A PDF OF YOUR FINAL PROJECT

please upload your final project as pdf with one keyimage which shows your design.

upload onto the blog by 8 pm, friday, july 24 

submit a pdf with a low file size (max 5mb) on the blog under the new final submission category,

you of course can use the same document as your dvd submission, but concentrate primarily on the final project. the overall size will be too large. that means you might need to downsize your file, you might even need to delete some pages or quite a few pages. this is also why the use of indesign is so important, as photoshop produces too large files and you can’t downsize them afterwards.

The Final Presentation

is in the Kubus (by Volksbuehne) 

This Thursday, June 4th, in the morning we will have Jean-Phillipe Vassal as a guest critic to discuss your projects, in the afternoon i am offering additional tutorials. I believe we might be able to get through 6-7 projects with Jean-Phillipe, so far Niklas, Michael, Caitlyn/Laure/Elba, Antoine and Ivan/Jakob have confirmed their participation in the morning. Please come all at 9.45am, so we can set everything up and do not loose any time, as Jean-Phillipe’s time is limited. Also everyone should come, as everyone can learn from the discussion of all the other projects. More Tutorials in the afternoon.

On Friday we decided to do another ‘action’ on Rosa-Luxemburg Platz, this time using the ‘Kubus’ by Volksbuehne as a venue. We will show the documentation movies of the ‘urban occupation : action’. We will use all digital medias to advertise the event, from email and facebook to another other platform we come across. The whole event is in that sense a test run. What crowd can we generate by using those platforms / networks. Concerning the sound to the movies Markus Nielsen und Ramona Reiser have enquired further, they say the radio ‘gig’ will not be possible, but we could be ‘creative’, whatever that means. Currently the idea is, that we organize a headphone party.
Please start thinking about the issues we discussed, like title, image image, text text text…
