Because of the MLK holiday, we moved the meeting to Tuesday and looks as though that is a better time for more people. So now we will be meeting on TUESDAYS at 4:30 to 5:30.
In this meeting, Brad Huggins (in charge of student affairs and clubs) came. He informed us that he can print large full color posters for us, that there is a button maker we can use to make buttons for our club, and that each quarter we have $50 in funding for our club.
We talked about the layout for the post cards to send to employers to inform them of the open house. On the back there is a honeycomb type shape which will act as a frame for pictures of student work (to showcase our work). Take pictures of your work or scan in your sketches and post them to the google groups page so that we have work to choose from to showcase on the back.
For the next meeting think up some cool button designs (saying like Industrial Design club, rad designs or IND etc). Also bring in good examples of your work to take pictures of and show off at the open house.

Minutes for 1/10/2011 Meeting
Our first meeting of 2011 went well! We talked about the Open House which is currently scheduled for the first week in February. Due to how close that is, Therese is looking to get it pushed back a bit. We are currently working to finalize the logo for the Industrial Design Department as a whole. This logo, primarily designed by Anthony, will be used for handouts, invites and give away items for the open house. It has not been fully decided if this logo will also be used for the industrial design sign (to be put outside the shop) but if we all agree, then it could be our sign.
The purpose of the open house is to showcase the work of the industrial design department. It is a open house just for our department too! So please look through your work and find pieces that represent what industrial design is all about; 3D models, concept sketches, renderings etc. We're thinking that it might be best to take photos of your work so that you don't have to haul in the originals, but we'll check with Therese for sure on that one.
Our next meeting will be held on TUESDAY JANUARY 18TH due to Martin Luther King Day. At that meeting we will be discussing designs for postcards (to send to people notifying them of the Open House). If you could bring in thumbnail sketches of any ideas you might have of the layout of the postcard, including where the logo will go, what to say on the back, images to include that would be fabulous and help aid in this discussion. Keep them simple! Sketches are fine and digital format would be great.
We will also be discussing possible giveaways for Open House. Some might include little laser cut decals, business cards or whatever. Be creative on those! Open house is also a chance for us students to be present and show off our stuff to employers/visitors so try to come if you can! We will keep you posted on the official date and time of the Open House.
Hope to see you at the next meeting! Spread the word to all your classmates, anyone in industrial design is encouraged to come to our meetings! Still open for suggestions as to what direction you want to see this club going in.
