 * 2. 10:20-10:50am:** Advanced workshop on working with typography in Illustrator & InDesign. This will lead right into working on your multi-page piece for the final project.

Files for workshop:


 * 3. 10:50-11:00am:** Reflection journal entry (then pass them into me so I can check them off during the studio session!). Think about:
 * Do you feel the brand image you have created is a strong one? What could you do for the rest of the project that could be an improvement in your identity design?
 * What have you learned in this project so far? What do you feel confident about/what do you feel you need to work on?
 * Keeping the project deadlines in mind, what is your plan for this week?


 * 4.** **11-11:45am:**Studio session: You should be working on your multi-page piece and/or your letterhead layout. If you don't have sketches for these pieces already, you should do sketches before you get on the computer. Sketches are not supposed to take long, they are supposed to be quick visual thoughts that you do to develop your design ideas BEFORE you get on a computer.

**Mini-Homework for Thursday**:

 * Bring in **3** examples of websites that you will use as inspiration for your brand website homepage, and we will go around and discuss what you like (or things you might even want to improve) about it. Give me the URLs and i will pull the sites up on the projector screen.
 * Continue working on your multi-page piece and letterhead.

 * Class today:**


 * 1. 10:00-10:10am:** Reflection journal entry (then pass them into me so I can check them off during the studio session!). Think about:
 * Do you feel the brand image you have created is a strong one, and why?

 * 2. 10:10-10:35am: Illustrator exercise:** Laying out a letterhead in Illustrator using typography only.


 * 3. 10:35am-11:30am: Studio working session:** It is expected that you will have a **full rough draft** **layout** of your multi-page piece completed by the end of this session today, so that you can move forward to the website phase of the project next week! Otherwise you'll be out of time in class to work on the multi-page piece, and you'll have to finish it on your own time or during the last week of classes. We will spend the next 3-4 classes working on the homepage!


 * 4. Website inspiration review:** Depending on how much time we have left, we will either pull up everyone's URLs on the projector and discuss/brainstorm, OR we will get into small groups and share with each other and give each other feedback/ideas and brainstorm!
