Ok so I'm clearly just procrastinating! But I started fiddling around making potential headers for use on our CFP or website or wherever, I was inspired by Tomasz's point towards the Doubting Thomas image by Caravaggio, it's great! I have no design/photoshop skills, this was just me messing about with images and powerpoint.
(also don't know if we should be worried about using more contemporary images for our publicity, because of copyright or whatever...)
Anyway! These were easy to make and infinitely customizeable... these were just the first images that came to my head (my brain is mush right now)
And also, Wendy might have a lead on a *proper* graphic designer who might be able to do some work for us for a small stipend! But for the time being, this might be a quicker/easier thing to put out on a CFP...



Daniella,
ReplyDeleteThanks for this!
I'm writing b/c I've just had a thought about the potential keynote. what about inviting Caroline Jones? http://architecture.mit.edu/faculty/caroline-jones
she seems perfect: she's written books, such as:
- Sensorium: Embodied Experience, Technology, And Contemporary Art http://architecture.mit.edu/history-theory-and-criticism/publication/sensorium
- Eyesight Alone: Clement Greenberg's Modernism and the Bureaucratization of the Senses
so, really, in terms of our theme she's a spot on.
most importantly, she's amelia's sister; so maybe she would accept our offer just b/c it would mean seeing Amelia?
this is awesome Tomasz, thanks for the suggestion! I definitely think she would be an interesting speaker. I've also heard some rumblings that Jane Bennett might be coming to Concordia in January, so Jones might be a good alternative. Let's talk about this at our next meeting!
DeleteI know Photoshop and InDesign and can do it for free! That'll go towards our bottom line; let me know what you think.
ReplyDeleteyay! Justin, you can be our design genius/webmaster.
