Design Ranch is scheduled for 3:00 in the afternoon.

Here are some ideas I received. Thoughts? Additional suggestions?

Reactor Design Studio

C3 Brand Marketing

(Overland Park, KS)

Indicia Design

(Kansas City, MO)

And the option of stopping in Lawrence was brought up, although I think it best that we keep everything in KC so we can hit as many studios as possible. Our day begins at 10:00 am at Willoughby. Design Ranch will have to be later in the day, after 1:30 in the afternoon.

Looks like Hammerpress no longer gives tours, and Hallmark won’t be able to accommodate us either. So those are out. We’ll need to discuss new options at the meeting this week, because two tours won’t fill up a day.

All of the Kansas City Star Press Pavilion Tours on the 5th of March appear to be booked already… so it’s off the list. And we’ve got responses from Willoughby  Design and Design Ranch so far, who have both approved the date and await my approval for times.

Hey everyone. I guess I’m in charge of organizing this trip to KC, so I’m going to start making arrangements for tours. It’s going to be a one day affair, on Friday, March 5th. So far I’m supposed to contact the following:

Hallmark

MK12

Hammerpress

Design Ranch

Willoughby Design

Kansas City Star

If you want to make changes it needs to happen pretty quick. In the next day or two, I’ll be making initial contact just to check if they are available that day, and for what times if they are, so I can coordinate the whole thing. If there is anything else I need to know, get with me ASAP. Also, where are we going to eat? I’ve never planned a trip like this, but I’m pretty sure we don’t need to be zigzagging back and forth across town (if we can help it). I kinda want to know all of the points on the map that we’re gonna hit. And how big is our group? I would like to let our hosts know how many people they will be dealing with.

That’s it for now. I’ll continue to update everyone as things develop.

Thursday’s meeting has been moved to 10:45 a.m!

Please show up a little early before Portfolio classes if you wish to participate in AIGA this semester. We need to know who all wants to be involved so we can plan trips, tours and lectures accordingly. We have some pretty neat trips planned that will hopefully give you the opportunity to show your portfolio at 3 different major markets. This is a great chance to see where your work stands in the design community, so please show up so we can get these things nailed down!!!
