Assignment 1
Due: noon on Thursday March 23
Each student should review the project brief again in detail and brainstorm several conceptual or thematic approaches to the project. Then using whichever communications methods you prefer, the group should negotiate a short consensus list of three ideas to pursue.
Deliverable: one blog post per group on the course site containing a short paragraph description for each of your top three ideas. The post defaults to public but may be set private if you wish.
Looking ahead, the second assignment will involve creating a detailed storyboard of visual research and sketches depicting each major design idea for the show.
