We will be working in groups of three or four students for our final project. Four students is the maximum number of students in a group; three students is the minimum. The students will choose their own groups, but each group must include a minimum of one graphic design major.
Students will come up with a more specific topic after detailed research into a particular design movement. The project will start with research and data gathering.
Finals will again be information designs around a chosen topic, but this time there will be three designs based on the same general topic. Each design will foreground a separate aspect of the main topic. The main topics will be chosen from the list in the blog post below.
The final will include a timeline with names and dates, a map, also with names and dates, and a third design, the structure of which is to be determined by the students.
Of the three designs, one design must concern the movement or main topic. One design must concern the work of a specific artist from the movement. The specific content of the third design is to be determined by the students in the group.
Included somewhere in the project, somewhere among the three designs, should be both social and artistic influences on the movement.
Again this project is in lieu of a research paper, but the project should include the same amount of research and information that would go into a final project paper on your topic.
We will reserve time at the end of each class from now until hell freezes over to work on these projects. A more specific timeline will be forthcoming. These projects must be printed and posted by Monday, December 5th. One of the three posters must be printed by midnight, November 30th. The second poster must be printed by Friday, December 2nd.
These projects must be posted to your blogs as well as to the wall. Each student must post all three of the designs from the group to their blog.
