Meeting Recap: carpe diem, Post Secret, etc.

Welcome to the Page Blog! As a nice complement to the Page Blackboard site, the blog shall serve as a place to summarize meetings as well as to (hopefully!) encourage the blossoming of ideas.

On that note, today we focused on refining our publicity campaign as well as the layout of the magazine. We’ve borrowed some Latin phrases from our dear friends the Romans, novissimo verba * (last words), and carpe diem (seize the day), which we plan on opening and closing the magazine with. We’ve discussed using Post Secret as a way to drum up interest for the paper, and continue to hash out ideas regarding the publicity campaign. We’ve gravitated towards the idea of progressing from light to dark in the magazine, a move we hope to reflect in the layout of the pieces as well as the color quality of the magazine background. This meeting our plans grew more specific. Still, we need to continue refining our ideas.

Next meeting, we hope to talk more about the development of the ad campaign. We talked about possible poster designs. For the next meeting (next Wednesday!), everyone should come prepared with an idea for posters, or better yet, an actual draft of a potential poster to garner the interest of the student body population. In addition, last year’s Department of the Protection of Art and Graphic Elements (P.A.G.E.) logo looked rather spiffy and lent our campaign authenticity. If anyone has an idea concerning a possible icon for this year’s campaign, next meeting would be a great time to bring it up. In addition, we shall go into greater detail regarding the layout of the magazine. What specifics sections will it contain? How will these sections affect the pace of the progression from light to dark? Do we want this progression to be subtle or dramatic?

The next meeting is next Wednesday, November 7^th. Adopt the mantra of carpe diem and seize the day by joining the members of Page in a major brainstorm session that promises to be entertaining and enlightening.
