Today as everyday, I exchange ideas via text with my team mates about our progress and work assigned. My team mates need it the CI official logos for their work so I did my best to get them and provide the logos to them. Also today I started a first draft of the first poster for professor Perchuck. Bess and myself are creating 2 options of the first poster for her to chose. the main image of this post has the draft of the firs poster.

Right now, I’m waiting for some feed back from my team mates to improve my design and I’m also giving feed back back to the other person in our team creating the second version of the first poster.

After having received information about a possible project with Professor Perchuk, we emailed her and set up a meeting time that was convenient for everyone. We had a little meeting with her tonight at the Napa hall gallery, were we discussed the details of the project. We will be providing her with an initial poster as soon as next week, with a second poster around mid-October. There will then possibly be three other posters we will be working on throughout the semester. These posters will all be similar as these events will be related to one another. We have started moving forward with our Driffill Elemntary school project and we have assigned each other different projects to work on. I will be starting to work on the Line Lackeys slack club project, providing them with what we discussed on our meeting yesterday. I was assigned to work on three of the sports t-shirts, which include soccer, football, and basket ball. I will be collaborating design ideas with Jason (soccer and football shirts) and Fernando (basketball shirt). I have started looking for more inspiration for the soccer t-shirt design, which Is one of the projects I’ve been assigned to for our Driffill Project. Along with looking for more inspiration, I have also began sketching out rough ideas for the t-shirt designs. We have also emailed the graft group with their project in order to move the project forward. Along with the email, he was sent a link to our trello board which we are using for project management. We are going to be working on projects for three of their online companies which requires our team to build an identity package for each one. We provided him with some questions that will help aide us through the design process.

Today I met with professor Perchuk at her office at 11:00 am. We talked about the size of the poster which is 11×17 in., the general feeling on the poster a 1500’s old world team, and the content that has to be shown to the audience.

We also talked about how we are going to be contacting here so she can provide us the logos ans future information for the new posters. Professor Perchuk also showed me past posters from other capstone classes, so my team and I can have a better idea of what she is expecting from us. The main image in this post display the posters she showed me next to her office. Of course she knows that the first poster is in a rush.

Later that day, we met as a team with professor Perchuk at the gallery reception in Napa Hall at 6:30 to clarify all the information a second time to make sure we all are in the same channel.

Later that night we met as a team to talk about what we will be doing for the weekend and put together all information from the clients in a aplication Bess created so we can organize everything together and shared and comment each other designs.

Electrolytes

My favorite electrolyte is sodium. In my opinion, it is the easiest to remember as it is frequently thought of when thinking about diet. Out of all the other electrolytes, changes in sodium is most likely to occur as people generally have a tendency to eat too much of it, thus it is highly considered when choosing foods that we eat. Also, the indications of sodium are easy to remember to as you think back to a time when you’ve eaten too much sodium and have experienced dehydration, thirst, increase in temperature and heart rate. Since I can incorporate and think of situations that would affect myself currently (on the milder side), makes sodium my favorite electrolyte.

My least favorite electrolyte is chloride. This is due to if chloride levels are low, then also sodium or potassium levels would be low which is just more that you must deal with. Also, chloride deals quite a bit with arterial blood gases, for example, in hyperchloremia, the signs and symptoms are similar to that of metabolic acidosis which adds a much more confusing aspect. With all of these considerations and my unfamiliarity of this electrolyte, makes it my least favorite electrolyte.

Meetings

/in /by

Today we attended meetings with three of our clients. Our first meeting was with the assistant principal at driffill elementary school in Oxnard. This was our second meeting with the principal, and this time we went to the school to get more of a feel for the school and what they represent. We got a tour of the campus where we got to ask questions to some of the staff and the students. We also presented some of the ideas and inspiration we had for their designs. We also got a clear idea of what assets they would like for us to create, which includes: redesigned sports t-shirts, spirit t-shirts, redesign of school brochure, creation of self-adhesive vinyl sticker designs to place around the campus. We then had a second meeting with the president of the CI love your melon club. We talked about the projects they had for us, which are: creating a promotional poster, visuals for social media posts, and event posters. Our last meeting was with the president of the Line Lackeys Slacking Club, and we talked about a logo redesign, informational poster and event posters. We looked at some of the ideas he had and the direction he wants to take the logo. We got a lot of helpful information from today’s meetings and our next step is to create and provide sketched out ideas for the client’s approval.
