GRD Club Suggestions

Ok so far ive gotten a lot of feedback. Ill keep it coming as i get it.

Things we could do as a club:
-tour print shops
--have someone teach us how to set prints
-have a art lawyer come talk to us
-- copyright laws
--contracts
--any protection for freelance projects
-get someone to come in and talk about how to set up portfolios for graduation
-have designers come in to show us work and talk
-collectively go to gallery openings or at least post cool art shows going on around town
-pin up shows for just our department
-work on class projects with other departments ie. identity project, use a photographer, have someone in textiles make a pattern or fabric, etc.
-paper museum
-have a site/data where we can constantly upload fonts/tutorials/etc for each other to use
-feature a designer a month on the website/blog (I wouldnt mind being in charge of this at all)

Things we could buy as a club:
-light box
-software
-light table
-coil binder
-saddle stitch binder
-screen printing materials
-have a library of books
-a web site for the club to link to GSU
-helping student pay for costs to enter in shows/competitions

What we would need:
a space to keep our materials, a closet or something.

So a lot of that could factor in the costs for them to possibly give us more money. We have to give as many proposals as possible. I hear GSU is very stingy with club money. We could also make it sound like (depending on who we are talking to about this) that the graphic design department is key to GSU and the identity of the school. We have had several designers graduate and current who have done work for GSU sports, individual schools of study, mailers, etc. Our academic achievements are seen more around campus than any other department at school. We should be given a good amount of money.


PLEASE ANY MORE IDEAS REPLY TO THIS POST
**if there are any designers you would like to come to GSU to talk about their work please write a name down so we can include it in the proposal.
