9/18 - assignments are getting more fleshed out with details for those who are signed up for them

9/9- just got the official word on what materials will be needed for power shift. we will be needed (at the least) -posters -flyers -on line ads MORE TO COME AS MORE DETAILS ARISE

(students who went to the 2009 participated in the largest lobby day ever held in U.S. History) Well at this current moment I am up learning details about the 2009 regional Power shift.

8/21

Just got done with a meeting with Brandon Knight ... we talked about the art collective and about what materials will be needed for powershift in Lansing

we are going to need: Logo (asap) in works final draft due out soon.

Poster to go along with it (completed) Video to advertise for it

contact Ashleigh with any interest in the following...

More details when we have them

The Idea for the art Collaborative

-start with work from the MSSC and campaigns and other things that they need -build up a network of connections with other student groups around michigan through the MSSC -Expand the type of work that we can give so that more and more students can get involved

How the system is set up:

Brandon Knight (Ultimate over lord of the Art collaborative) Brandon is our connect into the projects he gives us our time lines and project details Ashleigh Little (acting president at this current time) (project manager and slack puller) She Gets the projects from Brandon and decides* who gets them She also manages each project to see it to completion Any slack or fall throughs that happen are taken care of by her personally or properly reallocated to some one else

(*decision making process is based on project type, and availability of persons)

artists who really are excited about doing art for a cause!!!

What our first steps are to accomplish this:

1. Advertise at the Freshman Orientation 2009 (check!) 2. Have the First Green Council meeting to talk about this and recruiting help for visual work for power shift. (Possibly have a competition for students to enter work for Power shift) 3. Start getting initial projects and giving them out 4. Receiving finished projects 5. then we will move on from here....

What we have to do:

We need to set up a preliminary questioneer sheet that will be able to give us the information we need to be able to help with the project

(And this is where it becomes interactive you can type what information you feel you would need to complete a project )

ideas:

1. What kind of project are they looking for? (Graphic design) (Video audio) (web based) (Print based)
