ART 450 Special Projects assignment

ART 450

1.     Mary O’Garrin

2.     A book of memories as we remember Mary.

3.     This is to be a book of pictures and text that presents the memories of Mary’s siblings, children, grandchildren and nieces.  It is intended to give a real picture of who she was and be a memorial to her.

4.     I have asked my siblings and others members of our family who are directly related to Mary to present information and pictures for this book.  I have given a deadline for when I must have submissions. It is my hope that those invited will participate in the creation of this book about my Grandma Mary.  She was a very wonderful person and I am pleased to have known her and to be one of her six living grandchildren.  While I know how many children, siblings and grandchildren she has, I do not know how many nieces and nephews Mary has.  I have met one of my cousins, who I believe is going to contribute to this book.

5.     I am going to produce a book.  It will be bound and copies given to my siblings, and other family members.  I am thinking of using a 9.5 x 7.5 format for the book.  The book will have text and photos included and may be as short as 16 pages or as long as 50 plus pages.

6.     I have been researching other books of a similar form and purpose.

7.     I have no specific ideas or work to present today.

8.     Issues I need to address include getting everyone who can to actually contribute information in a timely manner, contacting a printer and actually completing the project on time.  Deciding on how many copies to have printed and then distributing them is another issue to be reviewed.

9.     Timeline

a.      1 May 2012…have all submissions for book

b.     7 May 2012…have basic organization of book completed

c.      15 May 2012…have book reviewed for errors and get it ready for printing

d.     21 May 2012…send book to printer

e.      12 June 2012…turn in finished book
