{Due on Wed, Dec. 18}

There are two options:
1. 30 second stop motion animation (30 seconds per person if you are working in a group)
2. Create a mini-book

Option 1: Stop Motion
For the Mac users in the class (this would be at home, I realize) I want you to use Mac's iMovie. For the rest of you in the class and at home, the PC equivalent we are going to use is called Windows Movie Maker.

Specs:
- 30 seconds per person
- groups can be no larger than 2 people
- use raster and vector images --- so Photoshop and Illustrator will be utilized for the content
- this has to be some sort of narrative but it can be an abstracted narrative, meaning we are not seeing beginning to end, but in the middle of a story.

 

Option 2: Book Illustration
Illustrator will be a great way to layout out your ideas and then your final book designs.

Specs:
- 16 pages in the book (per person)
- groups can be no larger than 2 people
- use raster and vector images --- so Photoshop and Illustrator will be utilized for the content
- this has to be some sort of narrative but it can be an abstracted narrative, meaning we are not seeing beginning to end, but in the middle of a story.
