Joint Gene Pool

To follow up with the organization of the Joint Gene Pool assignment. I have assigned the following groups, please read below to see which group you are in. In order to standardize documentation methods, each group will perform a certain task for the entire studio (for example the photo group will be responsible for photographing all models). I have also provided instructions below for each group, plus some general instructions. Each group should work together to accomplish these tasks and I would also like to come to the studio at 1:00 PM on Saturday to make sure things are working smoothly. I am also always available via email if you have more questions. I will also post this on the studio website. I will be responsible for the final edit of the layouts and for getting them printed.

General Instructions:

Everyone make sure that your work is available and in studio. Please put your names and joint title on all drawings so they don't get mixed up.
All images should be saved as 300 dpi .tif files. All files should be saved digitally using the following naming method (this is used by the school's archive department):

For Model Photographs:
05FA_JCO_STUDENTLASTNAME_M1.tif

For example if I was saving two different model photos this way it would be like this:
05FA_JCO_GRYGER_M1.tif
05FA_JCO_GRYGER_M2.tif

For Drawings:
05FA_JCO_STUDENTLASTNAME_D1.tif

For example if I was saving two different drawings this way it would be like this:
05FA_JCO_GRYGER_D1.tif
05FA_JCO_GRYGER_D2.tif

For Texts:
05FA_JCO_STUDENTLASTNAME_T1.doc

Important:
I've noticed that most of you have created your word games and stories using a computer. Everyone should save copies of these documents using the above naming system.

Photo Group

Kate Moxham
Andres Correa
Lauren Henfey
I would like you to photo graph each students generation 1 and generation 2 (if available) joint models in an open and closed condition. The photographs should be taken with good lighting on a white background and it is only necessary to take 1 good photograph of each joint in the both the open and closed conditions, so you should only need to take two photographs per joint.

Scanning Group

Isobel Herbold
Courtney Ferguson
Joe Girolamo
Alicia Hopson
Jae Kim Pryor
Young Beom Lee

Please scan the three hand sketches, the three story diagrams, and the plans and sections of the Generation 1 joints and also the Generation 2 joints (if available). Scan and save them as greyscale documents at 300 dpi. There is an 11x17 scanner in the HHN Computer lab and I may be able to let you use my scanner (8.5x11) while I am in the studio on Saturday. I recommend working in shifts on this. While many of the drawing sheets are larger than the scanner, most of the individual drawings will fit even on a smaller scanner and can be scanned as individual files. Would you also please, as you scan, save all files using a folder for each student that contains three subfolders named with that student's joint titles.

Illustrator Group

Jerome Hurd
Paul Hanford
James Han

You will take all the images and lay them out in Illustrator. I will meet with you on Saturday to provide special instruction and I will also have a template file for you by then.

Organizing Group

Amelia Golini, would you please collect all word game and story documents from the students in the studio who have them saved for you using the aforementioned format. Would you also help to make sure that the Illustrator group gets all the files they need from the other groups.




Jonas and I want this to run as smoothly as possible, so please do not hesitate to email me if you have questions.
