Lecture

Homework: Project 02

Upload Senior Project abstract.
A 4-sentence statement:

  • What’s the Topic: Define the topic you are addressing. This is from the target’s perspective. After hearing the problem, we should be clear.
  • What is an insight? It is a fact, truth, or data point about the target’s behavior, business category, or pain point that helps us understand the people’s motivations/beliefs.
  • What can the concept be? This idea will help us see how you will express the insight in words and pictures to the target. The target’s behavior will help you determine the proper channels/tactics. 

Very similar to the “I will focus on…” statement

Eventually, you will use a very similar template (link) to craft your Senior Project proposal.

Main Project 01 HW

Continue to focus on how your deliverables help your personas! You should be showcasing HOW they, your persona, would use your concept and how IT benefits them. Add pages to your Process book that include at least 2 pages of each:

  • Inspiration,
  • color options based on competitors/ similar companies
  • typographic research and visual styles
  • The visual (digital versions) of YOUR creative ideas, from wireframes, advertising layouts, web mock-ups, social media ideas, etc., should make sense for the end-user/audience.
