Ahh so for our final project, (just about) anything goes. Which has left me with lots of half-ideas. I guess I’m one of those students that need a little bit of structure to get by, but I have some concepts that I’ve been thinking about going with.
I’ve been exploring the different approaches that I have taken with the four previous projects that I have done for this class.
For project one, I used a simplistic approach, using my name as an acrostic poem, with each letter having words that described me.
For project two, the instant book, I had no idea what I wanted to have my book be about. After going through lots of ideas, I wen with the story title “How to Piss Off Your Server.” I had a lot of fun taking photographs with my fellow servers at work and discussing the things that customers do that “piss us off.”
When project three was presented to us, I knew immediately what topic I wanted to choose. I’ve always been one to keep my personal life separate from my work life and my school life, but with the concept of this project being designing with a conscience and a message, I knew that my worlds were going to mix for the first time… telling my classmates that I have a girlfriend. I really wanted my poster to be simple, yet bold, with the entire focus being drawn straight (no pun intended) to the message. I wanted to focus on acceptance and belonging, rather than gay rights. I designed two different posters, both with a very simple design.
Project four also proved to be easy for me to choose my topic. For the tri-fold brochure, I used Roswell Park Cancer Institute as my subject. I chose this because for my PR writing course I also have to create a brochure, and Roswell Park is the organization that I wanted to use for that course as well.
So now, with this being our fifth and final project, I am not sure what approach I want to take, whether I want it to be personal, impersonal, serious, or fun. We shall see…
