web mock-ups

it's time to meet your (web)maker

i'm working on some basic layouts for the new web page, which is mainly just a 'who we are'/branding thing as well as links to 3 major pages:

1. feed: everyone has to eat. eventually, every collective member (that wants one) will have a feed. we will also use this space for visiting contributors. we welcome art projects, architectural interventions, writing, curated links/video, and anything else you can pitch as interesting! this might be the closest we get to a zine yet...
2. studio (or blog): where we will hopefully be workshopping ideas/posting all our summer projects (temps and i have found some good competitions already)
3. like on fb: so we look like social beings

which one do you liiiiiiiike???? suggestions?? Continue

calendar

Download the calendar template here. I think it would be fun if everyone took a stab at the cover pages and the December one and then we can pull together what people have done and combine them.

The final list:

January: Amy

February: VA

March: Laws

April: Temps

May: Dylan

June: Hali

July: Josh

August: Casey

September: Kelly

October: Mooresy

November: Kaitlyn

December: A collective month

For those of you who do not have InDesign...you can always do the 30 day trial from adobe.com. It's a really easy program to use. OR I exported the document into .pdf format, so if you want to create this in another program you can.

aaaaaaaaand GO!

Secret Santa

Let's check this list off so I can send you a name/who's doing secret santa? 
Brian
Kelly
Andrew
Va
Kaitlyn
Ted
Dylan
Amy
Wimmy
Hali?
Whit?
Lindsay? (someone call Woods)
Anyone else? 
The best part is, everyone here is creative so money is no issue. No one will be offended if their present is home-made, thrift, vintage, or just plain everyday (food hint hint, good cheese etc...). The common, the utilitarian is the new lux.  Continue

a collective calendar

Every month features a different member. We have 11 so maybe the first month can feature all of us...probably january. I have a template and when everyone picks I'll send it out with the names assigned to the corresponding month. It will be in InDesign, which I'm pretty sure we all have.

I call November.

GO!
