uo-asda: Winter Term Posters

For Winter term we will be looking at putting up new posters. I dropped the ball last term and didn't get most of the ones we had printed. So next term if anyone wants to make something they can also put in thier portfolio whip up a poster and bring it to a meeting.

If you don't want to do a poster advertising ASDA then you can do one for film fest. We will be doing one poster for both the submissions and the actual show. If you want to design one and bring it to the meeting we can take a look.

Hi,

The UO Center for Media and Educational Technologies: Interactive Media is looking to hire a talented student web designer starting Winter term. The student must be proficient in XTHML and CSS. Flash and/or ActionScript would be a big plus. Could I advertise this position through your group? It's the perfect fit for someone interested in gaining some real-world experience (as much as the University can be "real-world"). I have a position description that I can send with more information if this seems appropriate.

Thanks,

Kirstin

Dear Karl,
If developing games and graphics is your thing, we've got good news.
Havok is offering a No-Charge PC Download <http://www.intelsoftwaregraphics.com/?lid=1959&cid=487&pid=469&mid=Q5W5fjgHz7k=&ch=e> of its Triple-A physics technology. This binary-only bundle includes all of the standard features and functionality of both the Havok* Physics and Havok* Animation products, such as Havok SDK libraries, samples, and 3-D modeling tools. (We told you it was good news.)
Download the Havok bundle now <http://www.intelsoftwaregraphics.com/?lid=1959&cid=487&pid=469&mid=Q5W5fjgHz7k=&ch=e> and see what a difference core physics software can make.
Oh, and be sure to take a look below to get in on a pretty cool competition.

Feeling creative? Inventive? Maybe even inspired? Havok and Intel hope so, because they want to see what you can do with the no-cost, downloadable version of Havok Physics and Animation for the PC. Between now and January 16th, your game demo or visual computing app could earn you cash, a gaming PC, or maybe even a job. If you're into that sort of thing...

**ASDA GALLERY SHOW**
The application is in, now its time to start planning and selecting a theme. If you want to be a part of this be at the the meeting tomorrow.

Subject: graphic designer needed

Job Announcement:

We are looking for a student to design four promotional materials for the
Sexual Wellness Advocacy Team (SWAT) and for Sexual Violence Prevention &
Education. We need a poster design, two different "postcard" designs, and a
pamphlet with resources and information.

Hello Again,

For Tomorrows meeting we are going to talk some more about posters and website and I will be gathering a list of resources you can go to to help get you started. There is only 1 week left for the poster (no deadline for the website yet) and so far there are no submissions so get working on this and make a great portfolio piece and help ASDA at the same time.

Also on the table is machine project. I'm still going for Papercraft Professors as the best idea so far. I have some templates for the boxes printed out so we can brainstorm ideas.

There is also another job that I will be talking about it looks like a website update with a little graphics work.

PODS is also planning a Student Groups Fair what we should be a part of if anyone wants to be a part of that let me know.

Last on the list is setting dates and times for the first photo night and getting a list of volunteers.

See you at the meeting tomorrow.

uo-asda: First Meeting Notes and New Job

First thanks to everyone who attended the first meeting we talked about a few things,

1. ASDA needs some new posters they should be 11x7 with .25 margin all around.

if you want to do a poster but don't quite know where to start you can take a look at
psdtuts.com
vectuts.com
bittbox.com
gomediazine.com
notcot.com

these site have a lot of inspiring pieces and free design tools ect to help you get started.

2. ASDA also needs a new website. The new website will most likely be powered by wordpress (wordpress.org) you can check there for themes that other designers have made for it.

What we are looking for is a Photoshop mock up of how you think the web page should look once it is finished. The site should be 960px with a main content area sidebar header and footer areas.

you can find some tutorials for mocking up websites in photoshop at psdtuts.com you can find other inspiration and resources at bittbox.com and gomediazone.com. you can look at other well designed pages at favup.com

3. ASDA is considering making merchandise to sell the machine project. some initial ideas include papercraft professors, good/bad karma cards, and limited edition posters. If you have other idea you would like to include just send me an email (asda@uoregon.edu) and we can talk about it at the next meeting.

4. Photo night where students can bring in work to get photographed by ASDA students is another project we want to get underway. we will need posters for this as well as volunteers to manage projects, take photos transfer photos and give people a rundown on how to use the photos.

we are thinking about doing these nights on a regular basic what do you think is best?

5. Louie has a web design job for us for Adaptive Sports Club/Accessibility Student Union

ASDA Design Firm,
I met with the student coordinator for the Adaptive Sports Club, and
leader of the Accessibility Student Union tonight. He is interested in
getting a website up to represent both groups, and looking for someone
to build the sites. Would be a great opportunity for someone to add to
their portfolio, and add a great line to their resume. I do not know
if this would be a paying gig or not.

The contact for this job is Eli Ettinger, eettinge@uoregon.edu

Hope to see you at the meeting tomorrow.
-Louie

Thats all for this week if you have any questions or want some more information about something just email asda@uoregon.edu and I'll get back to you.

Yes, we're doing it again! Your students are invited to mail original 4x6 postcards of their own creation by April 15, 2009. Selected entries, and the winners, will be displayed at AniFest 09 (Danbury, CT) and at a BOF at SIGGRAPH 2009 (New Orleans, LA). In addition, the top three winners will be able to choose any artbook published during the past year as their prize (with a $ limit, of course :-P ). For details visit our website

http://cs.wcsu.edu/cgr/

and click on the link for the contest. The only two hard, fast rules are (a) it must be computer generated, and (b) all images must be original, no found or modified art.

Tally Ho!

Hey ASDA,

I hope everyone is having a great summer.

I chatted with these guys at SIGGRAPH. They do amazing stuff with multiple displays and projectors. I know many of you like to work in video so thought it might be something to check out. Buying the technology isn’t cheap, but they said they could probably work out something for a temporary installation.

Digital’08: Imagination On Behalf Of Our Planet

10th International Digital Print Open Competition/Exhibition
at the New York Hall of Science
October 4, 2008 – January 25, 2009
Organized by Art & Science Collaborations, Inc.

INTRODUCTION

What are the artists, designers, architects, scientists, and technologists of the twenty-first century thinking about our current environmental challenges? Can their artwork imagine new, positive approaches to sustaining life on Earth? Can it inspire us to confront the consequences of our current ways of living? Through the almost limitless possibilities of digital image technologies, we invite our competition entrants to examine their environmental concerns, indulge their fantasies, and then share their fabricated/montaged visions of how a sustainable future might look, which might include new types of hybrid forms: plants, animals, humans, cities, transportation systems, food, etc.
Let's boldly envision on behalf of our planet!

CO-JURORS:
~ Michael John Gorman, Director of the new Science Gallery, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland
~ Cynthia Pannucci, Founder/Director, Art & Science Collaborations, Inc. (ASCI)

Matt,
I work with Amanda West who said you did the poster work for her for the
PPPM Prom. We work for a state agency and I am planning a conference. I was
hoping to chat with you about the possibility of creating some flyers,
posters, web blasts to highlight the conference.

I have a small budget and could offer you some money. It would be great to
talk with you and see what your availability is like. I realize it is
getting close to finals and you may have limited time. I am also a graduate
student, so I may be able to catch up with you on campus if that works
better for you. Let me know if you are interested. Feel free to reach me on

uo-asda: Fwd: hiring graphics design student

Spring break job opportunity:

I am looking to hire a UO student as soon as possible with graphics
design skills to do the layout for a 15 page sustainable food
resource guide. Our text, graphics, and photos will be ready on
Friday, March 21. We have an example of another report we'd like to
model our guide after which I can show to interested students.

I expect the project will require 20 - 30 hours of work and it pays
$10/hr. This could be a neat spring break employment opportunity.

Interested students should contact me by email at smital@uoregon.edu
as soon as possible and send me examples of past work similar in scale.

Thanks,

Steve

> Hi. We're journalism students, and we're making a film. We have a
certain scene that requires some drawings. Our original artist bailed
on the project at the last minute, and now we're looking for someone
to fill that void. If there are any art students who can illustrate,
we'd love to hear from you. The drawings would be of a fight scene,
namely things we can't do in real life (e.g. an arm breaking, a foot
crashing into a face, etc.) We're looking for realistic body
proportions, but the violence can be stylish. We can talk more about

entering the film into a festival or two.

Hi all,

uo-asda: Copyright Workshop Friday 2/8

Hi all,

Tomorrow, Andre Sirois, a local hip hop DJ, will talk about the
copyright issues surrounding creating derivative works, and borrowing
other people's works when creating your own. It should be an
interesting talk! It is important to know what is allowed and what is
not allowed when using someone else's work. It's also good to know
what steps you can take to ensure your work is used appropriately.

The talk is at our regular meeting time and place. Lawrence room 100,
12:00-1:00.

We hope to see you there!

uo-asda: Job opportunity with EMU Marketing

EMU Marketing is looking to collaborate with student[s] on a high
profile UO website project for University Day.

The back-story on University Day:

Each May, hundreds of UO students, faculty and staff spend the day
cleaning, painting, planting flowers, spreading bark dust, and helping
with other campus beautification projects.

It began in the early 1900's, but died out in the 1920s. Enthusiastic
students got the support of and revived it in 1990. UO students
organize the annual clean-up in cooperation with the university's
Office of Student Life and Facilities Services staff.

Compensation is to be determined. Could be money, class credit or just
15 min of fame. In any case, this will be good for your portfolio.
This is also a good chance to work in a great environment with other
enthusiastic people.

Ideally, you will have web design and coding experience. A must is
that you are self-motivated [aka, can meet deadlines] and want to
enhance your work rather than getting a job.

If you are interested, contact Lee LaTour, llatour@uoregon.edu ASAP

_______________________________________

Student Volunteers

SIGGRAPH 2008 marks the 35th annual conference on computer graphics and
interactive techniques.

Imagine having the opportunity to go behind the scenes and work as an
integral part of one of the largest and most exciting professional
conferences on this planet. This priceless experience gives you the

and teachers while assisting conference attendees and supporting conference
programs and events. As a Student Volunteer, you have admission to all
programs, receptions, and many special Student Volunteer events, including
résumé and portfolio reviews, and presentations by industry heavyweights!

All of this is available to high school, undergraduate, and graduate
students who are enrolled full time for at least one semester during the
2007-2008 school year and are at least 18 years of age. Students can apply
to work either 18 or 30 hours (approximately) during the conference.
Volunteers from outside the Los Angeles area who are willing to work at
least 30 hours may also receive complimentary housing in Los Angeles for the
duration of the conference. In addition, all applicants are eligible to
apply for Travel Assistance Awards, which offer financial help for travel to
and from the conference.

The Student Volunteers of today are the industry leaders of tomorrow, and
there's never been a better or more exciting time to become a Student
Volunteer. I encourage you to apply! Become a part of the largest and most
diverse community in computer graphics and interactive techniques. I look
forward to welcoming you to SIGGRAPH 2008 in Los Angeles, and I hope you'll
join us for a whole new Student Volunteer experience!

asda-talk: SIGGRAPH 2008 art program - Slow Art

The deadline for submission is fast approaching but thought I'd throw this
out there in case anyone was interested.

Here is a sample of last years gallery:
http://www.siggraph.org/s2007/attendees/art/wall.html

- Karl

______________________________

Slow Art

http://www.siggraph.org/s2008/submissions/juried/slowart/

In our digital culture, we can task simultaneously, message instantly, and
prototype rapidly, but, in doing so, do we create an oasis for
contemplation, or do we fuel a hunger for yet more speed? As technology
colors all aspects of our world, we see the inevitable pendular response in
campaigns that advocate slowness.

The Italian membership organization Cittaslow's manifesto defines criteria
for slow cities, focusing on improved quality of life. Internationally,
people are organizing to protect regional food systems, traditions, and
cuisine as part of the Slow Food Movement. There is a return to artisanship,
and a renewed focus on the local, as opposed to the global.

Throughout time, artists have pioneered the important task of illustrating
and preserving humanity. For the SIGGRAPH 2008 art program, we are seeking
art and investigations that address our overarching conference themes
(Complexity and Accessibility, Future History, Global Responsibility, Impact
on Society, and Professional Development and Education) through the filter
of Slowness. Some questions we hope to explore are:

* In which ways do new media artists employ the tools of speed to address
the issue of slowness?
* How does the speed afforded by technology affect the work we make?
* With the rapid changes in new media, how will these artworks be preserved,
and do questions of legacy affect the creative process?
* How can new media art assist in the preservation of cultural diversity?

All submissions will be juried. International works are highly encouraged.
All forms of digitally mediated work are eligible, as well as works made in
traditional media that comment on technology. Selections will be made
according to the following criteria: relevance to the SIGGRAPH 2008 themes,
creative use of media, depth of critical exploration, and quality of
accompanying artist statement.

Our final exhibition will be a gallery at SIGGRAPH 2008, smaller than in
past years. In addition, there will be an exhibition of curated artworks.
Through both of these exhibits, we hope to showcase the strongest examples
of current new media work.
