Project 2: Project Visualization

By now you have presented your initial ideas for the project and have probably received some feedback from the class as to the merit and feasability of your ideas. Now it is time to move beyond imagining the work to actually visualizing it.

What form will it take? What media/materials will be involved? Who is your intended audience? Where and how would the audience encounter the work? What do you hope to accomplish by producing this work? How long will it take? How much will it cost? How long will it last? Which artists, writers, etc. have influenced you? Which pieces, specifically? What will your methodology be for producing the work? Can you delineate and order the steps from conception to realization? Perhaps most importantly, what does it look like in your mind?

Guidelines:

1. Please address the above questions by writing a minimum of four paragraphs about your proposed project. Include any support material necessary (sketches, storyboards, URLs, examples of previous work, etc.).
2. Your written project visualization should be typed in 12-point font in black ink on white paper. Please submit the paper in a letter-size folder, the cover clearly labeled with your name. If you include disks (CD, DVD, etc.), please place them in clearly labeled sleeves inside the folder. Likewise, any slides included should be labeled, numbered, and organized in clear polyproplene slide sheets.
