Please take your folder home and do the sections marked in pink which you didn't manage to do in the catch-up session(s) you attended. If you didn't attend a catch-up session, a letter will go home explaining the same... a situation which, as I am sure you will agree, is easily avoided.
A recurring gap which a lot of people seem to have is the different stages of designing when designing in 2D Design or Paintshop Pro. You need at least 4 initial ideas for each object... the dvd cover and the clock. To explain what I am talking about, you can see my example if you click here.
You can either use your finished design on the computer and do variations on colour, typefaces, etc. or you can open the image (or Google and find the original image you started with) and do variations of placing, typefaces, colours, etc. (a better option) as I did in my example here.
Another noticeable gap is the mention of manufacturing processes in your Case Studies. A plastic DVD box is injection moulded (examples of a mould on a web page if you click here)
and the printing is, on a large run, usually 4 colour chromolithography. There is a good, clear explanation of different methods of printing dvd covers if you click here.

For 20th January, 2009
I am VERY heartened by the making that is happening. What I have seen so far is of good quality.
Don't forget what I said about the final 3D clock... if it is too small, then make it anyway and use it as a test ground for adding more/different pieces, etc.
If you feel your clock could be a little more complex, then by all means add some more pieces.
For Tuesday, make sure you are all done up to and including the Specification. The order of everything is the order on the sheets I have given you. If you are not done by then, it will mean being in the classroom at either Wednesday lunchtime or after school because we must have it all wrapped up now...

for Tuesday 13th January, 2009
Please make sure that, by Tuesday 13th January, you have the clock and the dvd cover PRINTED OUT.
It is quite OK to do this at home on your own printer.
TUESDAY IS THE BIG DAY AND IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU HAVE THE PIECES OF PAPER WITH YOU. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GO TO THE COMPUTER ROOM TO PRINT THEM OUT!
If you have done everything, then make sure your folder work is up to scratch. If anything is missing as a group, it is the different versions of dvd covers done in 2D Design... for example, experimenting with different fonts, different colour balances, different images, etc.
We have some great ideas and I am looking forward to seeing them in 3D.
I am collecting in your folders and you will have them back on Tuesday.
