Some days here at ASAP can be really slow. Nothing really happens during the beginning of semesters since the recruitment period does not begin until December. So during the gap where nothing happens the fun committee is really the main group that handles students. During multiple of our meetings we discuss a ton of ways to get the students engaged. We do this by having an estimated amount of students who we predict will be attending. As well as what food to order for the events. A lot of thought goes into these events. Every detail from decoration to activities is discussed and talked about during these meetings. We tend to have our meetings on Wednesday morning’s. With a group of around 10. 4 to 5 Advisers, our entire social media team, and a couple of the student ambassadors who help out during the event. A lot of the posters and things that are posted online from our accounts are discussed here as well. Especially since we try to get the students who look at our stories and read them to come to these events. So we make posters for them to get interested in the events, as well as engaging the poster to relate to the event themselves. While I have done static images in 3D, I have never done a poster to purposely look 3D like. By this I mean give it a sense of space that it is all on one plain, while also showing 3 Dimensional aspects. So created and rendering out clouds for example. Creating the sense of height and depth in the poster was new for me. While I did receive a lot of input, I am not 100% happy with it. Unfortunately I ran out of time and the deadline was due to hand in this poster to be posted online.
