» Did the team appear professional, organised and keep to time?

What's in a name?

Okay I thought of another idea for a name and just thought i would throw it out there to see what you're thoughts were.... I was thinking "sandwich" or "sandwich design" I looked it up briefly and don't think its taken, i was just thinking because of how it's constructed, we've got the two slices of bread which can be like the fundamentals of the company and the filling which is like all our input such as research and concepts and stuff which is the ultimate formation and creates the finished result. Also we can use funny puns like "we use our loaf" etc "we don't get in a pickle" or whatever gives us personality and fun factor maybeee?? And we could possible do something clever typographically logo wise?

Pitch

Meet tomorrow (31st) at 11 to get ready for the pitch.
Bring along any notes or Zygo development work to put on the Mood board.

Thursday Tutorial

Hey all,

Dunno if you've read the email from Sarah about the strike action yet but it says that all the tutorials we had booked for tomorrow have been rescheduled for the same time on Monday (28th). It also says that the Pitch has been moved to thursday so I think that should give us enough time to be able to talk to Dan about the mood board and then make it before Thursday.
If you still want me to email him to find out more about the mood boards before Monday just lemme know.

I was also thinking that if we have the tutorial on Monday at 2 should we meet up a bit before hand to talk about the group name etc. so that when we go see Dan we can discuss stuff like that?

Sara =)
