Your final project should be visually and conceptually complex, technically rigorous, and make use of the tools and techniques explored throughout the semester. You may choose to work on your own or collaboratively; the specific media, form (physical and / or digital) and function are up to you. You must upload a proposal to the course website prior to class on November 22 for discussion with the entire group. Your final projects will be presented and critiqued the last week of class. Further details will be provided in class.
Please write a short description of what you have in mind for your final project (1–2 paragraphs is fine). This description can be at a very formative stage; it is understood that your proposal is subject to change, based on decisions you are led to by the processes of creation and iteration, as well as the discussions we have in class. The purpose of this assignment is simply to get you started thinking about the direction you are heading for your final project, and to get ideas percolating. If you are planning on working in a group, please be sure to mention that in your description; if there are specific people you would like to work with, please note that as well. We will discuss your proposals as a group in class.
We will discuss your proposals in class on Tuesday, November 22.
Please upload your project description to the Google Drive Folder below by Tuesday, November 22 at 12pm.
