Ten ways to improve your multimedia production, by Media Storm.

FINAL PROJECT- warning

Class,
Failure to shoot and submit photos of your final project each week will reflect negatively in your grade. Many of you are now over two-weeks behind and have yet to show any work. Let me remind you that your final project should reflect 4-6 weeks of work, and must be shot in a progressive manner. I also remind you that the final project makes up 25% of your final grade.

Consider this a gentle final warning. I want everyone to do well, but thus far I am very disappointed in the lack of production. Please get busy now.

Also, no folders in the DROP, just images slugged correctly. Submit new images, AND bring out-takes for me to look at.

And bring your recorders.

WEEK 10

EXAM TODAY.

Drop 10-20 photos from your Final Project into the DROP folder.

Slug them: lastname_finalproject.jpg

Continue working on your Final Project. Next week submit 10-20 new photos, submit to the DROP next week.

Bring your cameras and audio recorders next week.

SPRING '09 WEEK #09

Life was the first all-photography U.S. news magazine and dominated the market for more than forty years. Life celebrated the "photo essay." Life was wildly successful for generations before its prestige was diminished by economics and changing tastes. Since 1972, Life has twice ceased publication and resumed in a different form, before ceasing once again with the issue dated April 20, 2007. Recently, the brand name continues on the Internet. -Wikipedia
