Hi! I just wanted some clarification when the first pass for graphic design on the AIA Holiday Card is due? It still shows the first deadline as "October 14" on the Airtable. 

Please let me know, and have a wonderful rest of your day! ☺️ 

Best,

Kelly 

[Gaby de la Cruz]

Hi Kelly,

My apologies for the confusion and thank you for pointing that out! You can submit the first pass this coming Sunday, 10/27 at 11:59 PM PT.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Best,

Gaby

Hi Gaby,

Here is the first round of our AIA Holiday Card 2024! So far I made rough drafts of each slide using the writing copy from last year! It's still a work in progress, but I will continue finessing the graphics and layout for the next round! :)

Have a great rest of your week,

Kelly

[Gaby de la Cruz]

Thank you, Kelly! This looks like a good start, we have some roughs for the splash and backgrounds so I'll go ahead and add them onto the slides.

The team will review the first pass and I'll let you know when notes are ready to be addressed. Great job!

Best,

[Gaby de la Cruz]

Hi Kelly,

Overall, everything looks good so far! Saira has left a couple notes to be addressed and I attached a link in the Canva document for the Holiday Card Splash and left it here as well.

Splash: HolidayCard_ColorRough_MayLee

BG 01: HolidayEOY2024_BG01_ColorRough_BiancaBancolita

BG 02 (Tentative): HolidayEOY2024_BG02_ColorRough_BiancaBancolita

In the meantime, I will reach out to Lexie and let her know where we are on the EOY Holiday Card graphics for any additional information or slides that need to be edited down.

The next deadline for review will be on Sunday, 11/3 at midnight PT. Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi Gaby,

I apologize for the delay!! Here is the second round for our AIA Holiday Card 2024! I addressed all the notes, and started adding all of the splash art/mascot art in! I also was able to pull photos from Lightbox for the collage slide! :)

Hope you have a great rest of your week,

Kelly

[Gaby de la Cruz]

Thank you, Kelly!

Notes have been left on the Canva document. Please be sure to resolve them as we await the final copy!

The next deadline for submissions will be on Sunday, 11/10 @ midnight PT.

Thank you so much for your hard work!

Have a good rest of your week,

Hi Gaby,

Here is the update on the AIA Holiday Card 2024! I made sure to address all the comments. Please let me know if you would like me to make more alts/iterations! :)

Have a wonderful rest of your week,

Kelly

[Gaby de la Cruz]

Hi Kelly,

Thank you for addressing the comments!

We've received the 2024 Impact Report from the team, and they've asked us to copy and paste the content from it. I'm still working on narrowing down exactly what needs to be added, but I've gone ahead and added two additional slides for the Immersive Lab and Career Summit.

Could we adjust the graphics to reflect this?

The next deadline for review will be on 11/17, Sunday at midnight PT.

Hi Gaby,

Here is the updated AIA Holiday Card! I made sure to update it with those two slides featuring the Immersive Lab and Career Summit! :)

Please let me know if there's anything else you would like me to add or edit!

HI Kelly,

Left some notes to be addressed on Canva. We're still waiting on some additional information but those should be minor details that won't be difficult to add!

Let me know the earliest you can get these updates in. Thank you so much!

Hi Gaby and Kelly,

I hope things are going well! Just wanted to check if there’s been any update on the Holiday Card graphics. We’re planning to distribute it by the end of the week and want to make sure we’re ready to move forward when it’s finalized.

Thanks!

Awesome! Just a heads up as well that there are no photos from Career Summit so we can nix that part out.

Thank you so much!
