Self Directed Free Project

You now have a strong base of design skills, but there is a lot more to learn.  You now have the option to direct your own learning.  I will continue to provide projects to those that choose not to learn on their own.

If you would like to choose your own projects, there are a few rules:

1. Your project must be related to Graphic Design.
2. You must create an outline or mindmap of your proposed project and have it approved by me.
3. You must keep a daily journal of your progress and what you have learned (minimum 2 paragraphs each day).
4. You must work and progress every day.
5. You must present your project to the class and show what you have learned.

If you fail to follow the rules, you will have to have to return to normal class assignments.

Project Ideas:

• Website design
• Photography
• Movies
• Animation
• E-commerce store
• Create a fake persona/band/company and related website, apparel, etc.
