MONDAY 3RD OCTOBER 2008
This mornings PAL session went okay I think - we decided before hand that we would do Time Management with them - they hadn't said there was anything in particular they wanted to cover this week, and Kit suggested Time Management would be the most relevant - at least to get them to make a realistic list of everything they have to do before the hand in which for them is a couple of weeks!
At the start we asked them if they would like to do this, or instead do an 'Inspiration' session - where they all share any inspiration they have found lately with the group - but they wanted to do the time management exercise. I think with their hand in coming up they want to make good use of the hour while they can.
They worked really well and as usual we all entered into discussion about lessons and work. I find this is really good, because even the quieter people end up joining in and after a few minutes people seem confident enough to share any concerns they have.
Next week is the last PAL session before their hand in, so they have asked if we can do a mini-crit! I think this will be really good for them, as they are already getting along really well within the PAL group, so hopefully they will have the confidence to crit each others work.
I found it really hard in my first year to crit peoples work. Its hard because you feel you are being negative, but in actual fact, its constructive criticism, which is important. I think doing a mini crit in their PAL group will be good for them. When we did the RBL brief - that was the first time people really started to get involved and be critical of peoples work - positively and negatively - and that's why all the work that was produced was so strong - it helps you consider you work from different angles.
I think we are going to try and give the crit a bit of an edge to get people motivated - we will decide that in the week I think.

Ink Rooms - New direction!
MONDAY 3RD NOVEMBER 2008
I got to uni today and the guys gave me an update as they heard from Chloe over the weekend!
She emailed them saying that the only domain name they could get was barINK. So they would be going with that. But then she contacting James again to say they were going with InkDot.
They sent over some more logos to her to show her boss based on the name change.
We are still waiting to hear - she was having the meeting this morning so we should know soon. James Ramsay submitted his ninety.five identity too so it seems it might be between the two.

Ink Rooms - Logos
FRIDAY 31ST OCTOBER 2008
As mentioned before, we sent over a PDF (6 pages) of logos we had come up with. We literally had to do as many as we could as we were so pushed for time and really had no idea what they wanted to take forward. The idea being that she can pick the ones she likes/aspects of the ones she likes and we can progress them further. We have no definate name for the bar at the moment - they still need to ensure they can get round the legalities and also secure domain names etc.
THIS ONE IS MY PAGE OF LOGOS:
We sent over the PDF and James called her a little while after we sent it.
Chloe said that she wanted to take forward the following elements of the logos we sent over (there were 6 pages in total):
- continue to push the idea of using script and sans serif fonts together
- move the black dot with 'dot' written in it to in between the word INK and BAR - we weren't very keen on this, but she is really keen on using the dot with 'dot' written in it, so we will have to push that now
- She like the script font on my page - its very floaty and a good contrast to the sans serif
I think the thing we have to bare in mind is she is having a meeting with her boss Monday morning - we really don't have any idea what he will like / not like and therefore will probably only know what the situation is once they have had the meeting!
We then did a few more logos taking into account what Chloe said about the last lot we sent her:
We will have to wait and see what she thinks - hopefully she will contact James over the weekend and advise!! I am really excited to hear which are the favourites so we can work them to a high standard - at the moment they are generally ideas and visuals.
I will update once we have heard something :o)
