ABOUT THE CLASS:
This class will be focused on helping you create
a professional web and print portfolio. In addition to developing
a personal style for the presentation , there will be weekly assignments
for creating content such as posters and announcements for the
various events in the department and on campus. TOP
ASSIGNMENTS: 50%
Each week, a different assignment will be given, following in-class
critique of the prior week's work; the accumulated assignments
will become the student's web-based and print portfolio. Assignments
not turned in on time will be marked down 1/2 grade (for example:
A- to B+). TOP
FINAL: 50%
Final assignment is a completed and edited portfolio that
consists of all assignments. TOP
ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION:
This class will be structured to accommodate the creative process
of students. Scheduled class time is meant to provide the space
for critique, help with technical problems and hand in assignments.
This time will be an opportunity to have a one on one discussion
of the projects in progress. Midterm and final critiques are not
to be missed without a formal reason (doctor's note, family emergency,
etc.) or the student's grade will be lowered 1/2 step. TOP
