Project Proposal Due Week 8

Hi All,

The presentations are over and there are a lot of interesting projects in the pipeline for this semester.

Your project proposal is due beginning of class, week 8. That means next week!

The project proposal document is like a written version of your presentation, and it should include the Aims and Objectives, Design Content or Treatment/Synopsis. Include supporting material such as sketches, screen captures, site maps, bibliography, and research, etc.

The project proposal document should be an absolute minimum of 2 written pages, plus any supporting documentation. It is intended that a reader of your document will get a clear picture of what you intend to produce for your major project.

Don’t forget that the document is worth 15% of your overall mark. The proposal document will help you to stay focused on your design goals and will enable you to reflect upon your media practice on completion of your major project.

Good luck,

Dean.

Please note that your city stories are due in class
this week (week 6) as noted on the concept development
blog (http://conceptdevelopment.wordpress.com/)

THE MAJOR PROJECT PROPOSAL

Your major project presentation is due next week (week 7)

So what will you need to do for your 10 minute Presentation.

Delivering an effective Pitch or Presentation to an audience
requires a great deal of organisation and confidence.
A good presentation should include enough support material
to provide an audience with a clear outline of your concept
and a strong sense of the completed project you intend to make.

You may like to create a presentation in Powerpoint or Flash.
You may just have sketches that you pass around the class, or
you can use the data projector to show online examples of similar
projects. The choice is yours, but the most important thing to remember
is that you are being assessed on your ability to clearly present your idea to the
class in a logical manner.
Make a note of what supporting documentation you will need.
EG, Photos, sketches, a list of points to
cover, or a well prepared speech.

Note: The presentation only goes for 10 minutes so allow enough time for
questions from your peers. I suggest that approx 5- 6 mins talking and the
rest of the time for questions should do the trick.
