Project:
Each one of you will be given the some choice as to who you would like to work with. Keep in mind there are several steps to this project & quite a bit of work to accomplish. Thank about your possible choice of partners wisely, they will share your successes as well as any failures.
Remember once your team has been announced, you will ALL need to focus on accountability, responsibility, delegating & sharing work to be done & watch your lateness & attendance issues. There will be several “evaluation checks” as we move through the project, be sure to consistently brief your partner on what each other are working on. Practice good communication skills. Work through thumbnails & roughs together. Creativity will be scored base on the creative process - thumbnails, roughs & comps.
