Now that the first exam is behind us, we can shift our focus back to Unit #2. At this point, you and your teammates should have developed several potential brand identities, which you will narrow and refine during Week 7. I will be attending a professional conference in Seattle next week, so you should use our class sessions on Tuesday and Thursday to make significant progress on your visual identity package. I strongly encourage you to use our classroom to hold team meetings, develop materials in Illustrator, and help one another out with technology questions. It is highly likely that you will need to hold additional team meetings to complete this project, so make sure that every member of your team knows what he or she should be doing during Week 7. I will be available by email all week long, so if you have any questions for me, please don’t hesitate to contact me. (I’ll be attending conference sessions, but I’ll respond as quickly as I can.)

I have moved the deadline for Unit #2 from October 18 to October 20, which will give us time for a formal peer critique session and allow me to hold a short conference with each team to discuss any final concerns you have before submitting the project. On October 20, you will submit your project and deliver a short presentation, as described in the assignment sheet. Next week I will send another email containing details about these presentations, but don’t worry — the presentation is a very minor portion of this assignment. Your focus should be on the deliverables listed on the assignment sheet.

Good luck with your team meetings next week!
