1. Yearbook
All work has been submitted now, so we've all been working on getting the main images in and lined up. I've been working on the main bodycopy of the text, and replacing the images etc. The layout and concept was agreed so its just been a case of tweaking it here and there. The artwork is nearly finished, it's just a case of bringing together mine, sams, pauls and wills designs.
We need the artwork to be ready to submit by Friday. We have arranged a meeting for this afternoon to print of everything so that we can mock it up and check the quality etc. After this friday hopefully this brief will be done and it will be a case of tweaking items here and there.

2. Cleo Tavern
All the main deliverables for this brief have been designed. This includes the uniform, the thank you cards and comment cards. The tea element as well as the glass and the menu, drinks menu and bar matts, and the take away sticker. What i need to complete with this brief is the interior design element, which i think will just be a sketch. I also need to buy the drinks carrier for takeaway bottles. I am aiming to have this brief completed on Saturday 5th May. This brief has allowed me to play around with textures and branding identity.

3. Lulu
Again, with this brief all the main deliverables have been designed. Envelopes, labels, tissue paper, stickers, invoice, postcards and stationary. The main things that need to be completed are printing the invoice and holder, as well as the postcards and stationary. I've also done the on-screen element to accompany the delivery. I think if i were to push this brief I could possibly look at ordering online, and the design for that screen element. But im not 100% sure i want to do this, as its not the main focus on my briefs. And i don't want to neglect my other briefs in order to do this.

4. Dylan Thomas
This is a brief that i wanted to be ongoing. As it stands I have completed 2 out of the 5. I am in the process of screen printing the Amber spy glass 3, and once that is done i want to print UMW, as well as the overlaying vinyl for animal farm. Once these are completed i want to create the brand, packaging element and possible promotion for them all. Its important that they arn't just stand alone posters because i want to give them context.

5. ISTD
This brief is pretty much completed I just need to laser cut the publication that'll go alongside the designs. Then it all needs to be photographed.

6. DC
This brief is underway now. Now that i've settled on the format of the book and the content its going to be a case of putting it all together. Its just a case of getting it done. I am aiming to get it sent to print by the end of next week so i can create the box that will go around it.

7. Branding Elements
I've just undertaken this brief, but i feel i've managed to get the concept sorted. The main issue i am having is the format that i want it to take. Having established the pack idea, i have something to design for. But im still not 100% sure. I want all the design work completed by the end of this week (5th May). So that i can get on experimenting. One thing im happy about with this brief is the fact that i can do some simple on-screen design.

8. Combined Briefs
Im not really sure what im going to do with these, and whether they are even worth submitting.

So, I have organised a photography shoot for next tuesday and im aiming to photograph:

- Lulu Brief
- Cleo Tavern Brief
- ISTD Brief

So, I have a tutorial today and the main things i want to discuss are:

Format for brief 7?
Are the briefs i am proposing to complete big enough?
