Visiting Artist: Liz Tapp, Mule Magazine

For those who missed out last Friday when Liz came and presented her goods, shame shame.

Aside from production of Mule, she gave 3 simple tips in making the transition from college to the professional world, which I think we can utilize to get CITE up and running quickly:
- get out of the vacuum
-accept criticism
-accept compromise

If we aim to have CITE completed for the opening of the FUSE store, April 29th, that gives us about 3 months. And since we're starting from scratch....yeah, my thoughts exactly: HOLY CRAP, we gotta get a move on.

Heres a list of things we should be able to easily accomplish by the end of the week. Pivotal questions and answers that will dictate CITE's final form:

1. Create a practical list of possible printers. Contact them, catalog price estimates.

2. Create a duties list of sorts, who wants to be responsible for which components. (writers, editors, designers, photographers, illustrators, interviewers, advertising, printing, distribution, etc. etc.)

*3. Create a generic goals list!! (print at home?, hand bound?, color vs BW?, general contents/sections within CITE, distribution logistics, copy deadlines, design deadlines, production deadlines, etc. etc.)

WOOOOAH, go team!
