Final Project Due Date and Guidelines

Final presentations will be 8:00 a.m. (yes!) Monday, March 14 in our usual spot.

Final presentations should be a clean presentation of all of the magic you've been generating over the quarter. Walk us through the narrative of your story and your process. These presentations should be well-organized and show your work in its best possible light. No apologies or excuses, just show us what you've got! You can include a mix of rough and finished work. You're not presenting to yourself or your best friend, you're presenting to a group of potentially interested folks - how do you hook us in? How do you use your work to create maximum impact? You'll definitely need a title and a three sentence overview description. Get to the point!!

Pitch Refinement

We'll cover the other few folks who didn't get a chance to pitch their idea last week.
Everybody should have a .pdf of their pitch ready to turn in by Monday, February 15.
We'll talk about scheduling and organizing for the final project run-in.

Project 4: Midterm Pitch

On Monday, February 8, you'll be doing a 5 minute .pdf pitch of your work. Post it to your blog, so you can call it up from this site. We'll be doing a strict time limit, so be prepared.

In getting your pitch together, I suggest:

Getting all the work you've done so far in the class. Look at the images, read the writing. This sounds obvious, but I see people skip this step all the time.

Come up with a working title and a logo of some sort. It'll help the project lurch into life. Make sure to tell us what medium the project is intended for within the first 30 seconds as well.

Practice telling us the story. Distill it down to a bare essence. No extraneous, meandering details. Leave us wanting more, not waiting for you to shut up!
