Digital Media Project Proposal

1. Create your blog and link in a comment to this post.

2. Post a Digital Media Project Proposal letter to your blog by 11:59 PM on Sunday 1/9:

This is your opportunity to come up with your own idea for a digital project (the term’s Big Product), pitch it to the artistic director (your profs), workshop the idea with a creative team (your peers, lab aides, instructors, etc.) and apply their insights to your production schedule (the next 9 weeks of drafts, discussions, and revisions) until the project launch (final due 2/28).

You have a lot of latitude with creative content. And with great freedom comes great responsibility. Here are some questions to consider for fulfilling this week’s responsibilities:

What kind of project will you create? Is the final product digital, real-space, or a combination? Is it a website, an app, a movie (animation or live-action), an audio piece, an installation….? How will you be creating original content? Photographs or Photoshop? Mostly images or mostly text? What is the genre: creative, abstract, or nonfiction? Will you be working with any partners in the college or the community?
Include any notes on possible aesthetic influences. Articulate what you don’t yet know about technology, skills, or techniques that may be involved in the process. This week it’s up to you to pitch your idea in a brief proposal letter to our creative team. Please post your proposal by Sunday January 9.
