Progress and Updates

I can't believe that our event is less than a month away! Where did the time go?
Even though I was only gone for two classes, it feels like I've missed so much. Which on the bright side means that we've really been making progress with our tasks and projects, and that is both exciting and encouraging. It feels like everything  is coming together, and that's a great feeling. Here are a few of my updates for the week.

Buttons: I sent Commonvision our order for 100 buttons with the lovely images that Jennie and her dad did. They said it was good to go however they emailed me today saying that they still needed the templates. I was confused as to what they were talking about, so I went to The Commons for clarification. Apparently they want us copy all of our images onto the template for every button that we need. It was mildly annoying because, no one explained that to me. I thought we just needed to use the template for sizing. Would anyone be able to do this with photoshop?

Tickets: We need a design for the tickets so we can send them off . for 200 black and white tickets we should only pay around $10.75.
                                                                                 
Brochures: I meet with a manager at Commonvision and she's supposed to be sending me quotes for different brochure options. For our ideal printing they'd need to have College Park print them because they don't offer that type of fold at UMBC, so we may want to look into some other Baltimore options.

Oral History Stuff: 
So I have my oral history interview scheduled with Jason Reed for Friday Nov 9 at the Filbert Street Garden. I  reserved a camera to tape my interview but I'd like to use the tape recorder as a back up. In our pre oral history interview Mr. Reed gave me some great background information on the garden and the role that he plays as its steward. He also passed along the information that he gathered from Linda Bardo, the woman  who was a big agent in the second installment of the garden. She said she game him all that she knows/remembers would it be too invasive to reach out and ask for an oral history interview?
Mr. Reed also said that he might be able to help me secure some interviews after our meeting if I have time to walk over to the school and meet some folks.
I plan to go to the grand opening Chesapeake Compost Works to get some b roll footage.
