Animation History Research Assignment

A good starting point for fact-finding is HERE.

Your current assignment consists of initial research on your desired era/location/person of interest in animation history, as well as a finished publication as a means of presentation. The presentation means is pending my approval, but very open; thus, those of you with more versatile skillsets may select from a greater number of possibilities. The initial phase of the project may be completed either individually or in a paired assignment, but the deliverables will require a group effort as outlined below.

For the first part of the project, your work must meet the following criteria:

• At least 15 individual facts represented in your work. To clarify, a list 5 films by the author will count as a single fact.
• Attention to principles and elements of design
• Clear organization of facts/material
• Discernible difference between different levels of text (title, headings, sub-headings (if used), body text)
• Attention to readability of type as judged from proper viewing distances
• A minimum of two sources must be used.
