Illustrators: Don’t forget to work on the logo contest for the conference bags! 

Also, the Illustrator Intensive is a little different this year.  The is a pre-conference assignment, where you get feedback from the art director, before finishing the illustration, but this year, it can be a project that you are working on if you are too busy to do the art director’s assignment.

NOTE:  If you have signed up for an Intensive with Scott Treimel, you will need to submit something prior to the conference.  As soon as I get the details, I will let you know what and when to submit it.

Let me know if I have missed anything.

Talk tomorrow,
