Assignment

Cre­ate a multi-faceted pro­mo­tional graph­ics for a depart­men­tal per­for­mance. The art direc­tor will choose the most pro­fes­sional solu­tions to present to the client. The client will choose a solu­tion, but each stu­dent group is required to col­lab­o­ra­tively devel­op­ment and pro­duce one com­plete set for assess­ment. Each stu­dent is assigned a group and a performance.

Part One

Develop a con­cept through client pre­sen­ta­tion. Through research and dis­cus­sion pro­duce a con­cep­tual solu­tion that will serve as the basis for a design brief. Present a dig­i­tal ver­sions of solu­tion to the art direc­tor (instruc­tor) for review and com­men­tary. Pro­duce a low res PDF of your basic idea for a solu­tion and save it in the appro­pri­ate project folder. Ideas can be sketches or rough comps. Please be aware of image qual­ity, type­face restric­tions, and rights issues before using any found resources.

Part Two

Iden­tify the best three solu­tions from the group dis­cus­sions. Cre­ate a sam­ple of each that includes a poster, five (5) frame story-board of video, and pro­gram inte­rior. Use the Design Brief Tem­plate to pro­vide a basic con­cep­tual frame­work to explain the logic behind the solu­tion to the client.

Part Three

Cre­ate a com­plete set of arti­facts includ­ing for the event. Pro­duce the indi­vid­ual parts, using the infor­ma­tion pro­vided on the course server. Dead­lines are based on project infor­ma­tion sheet. Infor­ma­tion can be found on D2L or in the course’s shared Google Drive folder. Images and art are avail­able from iStock­Photo. Orga­nize, label and com­press the files and upload them to the appro­pri­ate D2L drop­box. Fol­low the file spec­i­fi­ca­tions for each indi­vid­ual piece, includ­ing nam­ing con­ven­tions. Low-res­o­lu­tion video files are accept­able if too large to upload. Make sure a hi-res copy is given to the instruc­tor on an alter­na­tive media device.

All stu­dents will receive the same score for the drop­box submissions.
