Independent Pathway
We need to chose a path in the Graphic Arts for the remainder of this class. You may decide to follow one particular process such as vinyl stickers and banner making or working with photos. Perhaps you want to mix together several avenues that interest you, either way you will need to provide a written description and timeline. You will need to describe what type(s) of design/processes you will be dealing with along with the themes involved and general descriptions of the projects. You will also need a general timeline that outlines the remaining weeks of the class, this will keep you on track and help to plan your time realistically. Make sure to include what projects you will be working on, along with a description of where you will be in the process of the projects. Make sure to write in complete sentences, not just three sentence phrases...
So how are we going to be graded anyway?!?!?!
Ok, Here's the scoop...this isn't going to be a cookie cutter grading sysytem. We will need to be flexible on who turns what in on what date and time. However, I will be asking for evidence/benchmarks of what you have been doing from week to week, I will ask for these at the end of each week with a short description witten on the back of each submission.
