assessment for blogs

Hiya,

It is required that you produce 5 written blog entries (approx 100-200 words per entry) that document your observations of a particular task or subject matter related to the course material.

You may like to accompany the text with sketches, screensnaps, etc, that you have produced during the semester.

Here are a few suggestions that you can explore and discuss:

Visualization exercise (photoshop)
Citystories
Blogging
Digital Storytelling
Mobile Movies
Narrative and Mythology
Creative Process
Developing a Concept
Typography
Social Software (Flickr, Youtube, 43 Things to Do, NowPublic, etc)

You will be assessed on your ability to articulate your ideas and discuss your creative process. I suggest you send me the URL/permalinks and note which entries you have selected.

Cheers,

Dean.

Self Publishing on the Web

Hiya,

Do you have a burning desire to create the next big brand logo?
Perhaps you want to create a limited edition book or an e-novel.
As Liza Minnelli would say “I have a solution”.
Online self publishing is a fast, fun and easy way to create products
for an international market that is hungry to BUY, BUY, BUY!
Forget about the AB-CRUNCHER and the THIGH-BLASTER.
Check out the following websites and discover
how easy it is to whip up your own books and cheesy merchandise.

At http://www.cafepress.com/ you can design logos and slogans
for a wide range of homewares and clothing. The best part is that
it’s all free. Just upload the design and the customer pays for
for the production costs if they order your product.

At http://www.lulu.com/ you can create your very own
publishing empire. Everyone has a good book inside them,
even if it is “The Little Book of Calm”. Connect with the
author within, go forth and PUBLISH!
