First - Choose your Project
Here is the final project information that you have been waiting for. You must start with the proposal. I am listing as much information as I possibly can. Please be mindful that deadlines are of the utmost importance.
Final Project
Photography students, choose something from section A or B. Graphic Design, choose from:
A: 5 or 6 (be very careful here), OR C: 12, 14, 15. Once you have chosen, you must stick to it. You can't change it half way through. Once you have chosen, give it a lot of thought, because you will be held to your proposal.

If you need to do some final shooting, you may; however, all studio shooting should already be done at that point because there will be other students in the back of the room working. Studio will not be available during that time. When sitting at computers, you will be separated by every other computer. You will not be allowed on the internet.
On those days, you will hand in your phones to your proctor and work all day.

Make a check list for the following, as this will determine your grade:
- Experiment with at least 6-8 ideas
- Balanced approach - mostly artwork, with some writing to explain. For the coursework, some of you wrote much too much and others not enough.
- Include things like what you tried in reference to style, art elements, design principles, composition, lighting,.... angles. They want to know you have a good command of these things and they want to see it in your photos.
- Research at least 1-2 artists... not just ideas. FIND a real artist that you can talk about and incorporate their style somehow--- or inspiration. REAL artists... not just photos from the internet. What is it about this artist that inspires you? What art elements/design principles stand out to you in their work? How can you put your own twist on that style?
Days of the test:
- On the first page, include your web diagram (this will help you focus)
- When laying out, keep good lay-out principles in mind. Have a dominant photo (image), then surround with smaller images... show your settings, talk about the lighting, etc.,...
- Check your spelling.
- You can use InDesign or separate sheets for Photoshop.
- I will email labels to you.
- For Photography, don't forget your contact pages... same lay-out as before.
- You must be finished by the end of the day on the 25th.
Grades will be based on each page and regular rubric... plus a cumulative grade... which will be your final.
