Here the how to guide. It need the very last page edited.

can you also please make a cover. Something simple. I'm SO tired.

Website update: Got the images to change sucessfully. However the dynamic text is being a problem seeming I'm getting an error which is normally simply solved therefore I any clue as to why it happening escapes me.

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.

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.

10am at building 17 tomo right?

We need to make sure by then we know about:

• Robin and using the printmaking room

• Typewriter font scans and postcard scans

• Website mockups

• Box mockups

• Everything else mockups

• Ideas for making the tshirt, stickers and magnets.. will we make these - if so how?

I have started making the Styleguide, some proposal mockups of the newsletter and the poster.

I'm going out of my mind without the internet though! argh. lol see yall all tomo

Tshirt and apron,

Hey team why don't we use iron on prints for the tshirts and the apron, that way the felters can replicate it all by them selves, otherwise they can get them professionally printed if they have enough money.

Also I think we should get make a document that states where all the stuff that we made by hand can be reproduced professionally.

Also also I got all the materials for the box, and I am working on it now....

meet up on thurs

heys all howd we all fair with esssay writing and in mitch's case, not essay writing? =D

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.

woop

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,

black or white!?

huh...

sooo...

well... ok they don't want the blacked out version of the logo!

do we listen to them or not?

to be or not to be!?

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Blackout Team,

I've held off replying until the eleventh hour in the vain hope that I could contact Anita so that she could add her input. She is still in NZ. However, it looks as though we shall have to proceed with out her.

The rest of the Committee were unanimous in voting for option 1a. We definitely are of the opinion that the shield would need to be at least the same size as the lettering and we much prefer it to not be of any colour. We're mindful that if the logo and shield are too small the design could become unidentifiable and look more like a blob; for example, if it were to be used on a business card.

We were all very impressed by the mock up for the complimentary card and the letterhead. Having the wool fibre look down the right hand side is so very appropriate. The way you've done the photos looks great too so we've nothing to add on that score.

Thank you for presenting us with these options and all the very best with the next step of the project.

Regards

Eleanor

reply wow that was quick

Hello Blackout Team,

Thank you for the latest logo proposal. We will do our best to notify you of our preference by the 27th. Unfortunately Anita ( our President ) is in New Zealand all this week so we'll have to do this without her input.

We're pleased you enjoyed your visit to last workshop and hope you've found a use for your creations. We appreciated your hands-on approach.

Regards

Eleanor

our feedback from aaages ago!

hey hey guys heres the feedback sheet in case you guys wanted a copy! sorry it took me so long to scan it i had scanned it ages ago jst forgot.

Meeting with jo

Alright guys, had the meeting with Jo and she got feed back from the feltmakers about how awesome we are (win.) anyway I think we really got this one in the bag so it's good to know all our aplications will not just be for not because they'll most likely go with our logo. -celebrate (hopfully not premature)-

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?

Our logo looks like INDIAN architecture AND DAIRY icecream

INDIAN
------------ = 1
DIARY

(cancel each other out seem icecream melts in indian and they worship cows therefore would not eat dairy.)

Therefore our design do not look islamic / indian / dairy product.

ended up with stuff coming up today so only jst got home but said id so something so iv just done reaaaally quick tests but im tired and going to bed.

basically jst live traced a few shields and cheated my morphing them... mainly jst to give some perspective as to how our shape fits as opposed to say sharper edges or more boxy or squary looks

shields shields shields

yo bros

Here's a random collection of shields... just to look at the shape.

will try and draw some shield shapes when i get a chance later tonight.
