Pre-Kickoff Project Research
Search for videos and photos from previous EPB Holiday Windows (examples here: https://youtu.be/WfQbQ_S72TY, https://youtu.be/FP3Ke21EqZA, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CV_ZKeo_XxU, https://youtu.be/iovDCVHRToI, https://youtu.be/CMpFFESlrcE)
Identify three noteworthy characteristics and design elements you observed in these videos (or your own personal experience in viewing the windows) which made past holiday window displays engaging.
Prepare a short verbal presentation on your research findings
Kickoff:
Each team will verbally present three noteworthy characteristics and design elements they observed from their pre-kickoff research that made past holiday window displays engaging.
Design Reviews are SET!!!!
Student teams should prepare for impromptu reviews with the EPB design leads for their window. The EPB design leads will visit their student team during the week of September 10th. Separate from the impromptu review, each student team will have one formal design review this quarter. The formal design review will be broken into two groups based on the window groupings listed below.
Attendance at your design review is mandatory! If you have a class during your design review, contact your teacher at least five days in advance to make arrangements to make up missed work. See Mr. Kranz if you have an unresolvable schedule conflict.
Design Review - Teams: Windows 1, 2, 3, 4
