Group Design Concepts Presentation Assignment
Instructions: Organize into groups of 2-3. Then choose a pair of design principles and elements from the list (see OAKS groups). I have the principles and elements paired up in a random fashion. They have no relationships with each other. Pairing them is simply a way to get all of them covered. After researching and studying them, you will create a compelling presentation to share your findings and designs with the class. Guidelines/RulesThe Presentation: If you use slides, the presentation must not be text-heavy. Since this portion of the course is heavily imbued with graphics, we want to take a departure from the text-heavy slides and display more vibrancy with use of imagery.

Some suggestions are: A) ask the audience questions, B) revisit a slide for more explanation C) suggest a question for the exam. Please don't neglect the very important part of moderating a discussion, as it will count into your grade.
Final Submission: Do not submit the slides. Instead, write a 1-2 page summary, including two possible test questions. Your summary can and should contain a few images, but should not be overwhelmingly images. You may submit it in the OAKS group dropbox called "Summary". About the Grade:This will count as a regular assignment for each group member. |
