HowToGuide
Sunday, June 13, 2010
I'm working on it but I think I'll need to start again with a fresh head.
Beside that, I've got the java nearly working for the drop down menu -- I can't believe they wanted a WORKING website. Srsly fml, I knew it would be like this but still. FML.

List of Tasks
Monday, June 7, 2010
This is the style guide for The Illawarra Feltmakers Inc, - the first incorporated group of feltmakers in NSW. It provides an avenue for those interested in the craft of feltmaking to meet, learn more skills and felt together on a social basis.
The logo consists of two parts: the pictogram (essentially the emblem and recognisable image for the company) and the logotype which is one which has been created specially to suit the nature and feel of the organisation.
The shield pictogram draws from the many origins and concepts which arise from the complex and multi-faceted nature of feltmaking. The abstract placing of the shapes is a diagrammatic representation of the contemporary direction the Illawarra Feltmakers are moving towards. The shapes, styling and pattern created is reminiscent of the ornamental and tribal origins of feltmaking.
The use of the shielf itself as a containing feature of these elements effectively treats the company as one which is also corporate which an established “coat of arms,” showing the art of feltmaking to be both elegant and beautiful as well as cemented in historic origins.
When first approached to redesign the identity of the Illawarra Feltmakers, we were asked to maintain elements of their original identity. This involved the use of the drops of water, the swirl and the hand which is diagrammatic of the process of feltmaking.
This completed logo not only effectively incorporates each of these elements with equal importance but also shows a reflection of the origins and art of feltmaking.
Consistent application and precise production of a logo is vital to maintaining the integrity of the companys identity. The purpose of this style guide is to provide a visual guide and general set of rules which will ensure this consistency and prevent compromising the strength of the company’s identity.
It is understood that all users of this logo will comply with the basic rules and regulations as set out in this guide.
Thank you,
Blackout.

meet up on thurs
so what time on thursday are we proposing to meet up and what do we want to start doing?
doing mockups using the stamp>?
think we did a pretty great job with the preso so yay for that. did you guys hear about the extension we got also? 3 extra days - should be handy seeing as we wanna make everything by hand.
anywayz, emily was suggesting like 10? How does that sit for the rest of youguys? earlier or later or perfect? .. i would personally not prefer earlier.. cause i need to go to aldis for that snow sale in the morning which is apparently some big thing and that opens at 9am so ill prob be a BIIT late even if we start at 10.

Hi Black Out Team,
I am very sorry I have been uncontactable for the past week. I am sure the responses of the rest of the committee were very considered though, and I
agree with their letter sent to you earlier by Eleanor.
I haer that the meeting at our community centre went very well and the women were very impressed with your willingness to really try to understand
what felting is, and what it can be.
Thankyou for your enthusiasm.
warm regards,
Anita Larkin

Meeting with jo
Anyway, Jo loved the typeface I made, she said it perfectly encompassed the feltmakers and what they are trying to be with the organic hand made type which doesn't look computer made yet is. Although this is good that she loves it, she loves it a little too much, as such she made some suggestion about the logo pictogram...
she basically wants it to be of less importance to logo, which I'm not sure about, she did the second black one below.
She stated that the border around it made the shape 'too busy' which I don't know if I agree with. Anyway, there 3 options I was thinking we should submit to the feltmakers and just let them choose. Will delay getting the stamp BUT we still have plenty of time, we could get test prints of other stamps to see what it'd look like on different card if you wanted to do something whilst we get a reply.
Anyway, thoughts?

WHERE EVERYTHING IS AT
- Business cards are my big worry now, embossing it needs to be done in the printrooms and not under bricks i really think if we are going to do it it needs to be done right.
- Brochure artwork, if we are to work on it anymore or just place that image in straight away, it needs to be done
- The indiviudal blurb - emily has done - i will do mine tonight. emilyif you make any changes to your blurb just forward them onto jesse or post them onto blog
- We have bought the material for the box and jesse is making it now i think we should apply the same spray transfer ink method to the box and print BLACKOUT on it
- we still need to find string to bind out books together and i suggest it should be sorta brown twiny stuff to match our recycled finish on most of our stuff e.g. business cards but thats jst an idea. wat do you guys think?
