Tell a story by combining several of the tools/media you learned this semester, and share it with the world on the web.
Content
The story you choose to tell is completely up to you. Pick a topic you feel passionate about and will enjoy working on. Your story doesn’t need to be long or include text – as we’ve learned through the course of the semester, a story can be told through sound, color, shapes, motion etc.
Format
You must embed your story on a webpage and publish it on Replit. Use the HTML/CSS/JS template to do so. The template includes the necessary code to embed every type of media we learned this semester (digital imaging, audio, animation). You don’t have to include every one of them, but must include at least two elements (i.e: two images, one animation and one image etc.) You can change the structure (HTML) and design (CSS) of the page as you see fit.
Examples
Here are some ideas that would work well for this project:
- Comic book: create comic book panels in Photoshop and/or Illustrator and embed them as individual images on the webpage.
- Animation: Create an animation in After Effects (i.e: featuring a character of your making, promoting a social cause etc.) and embed it on the site.
- Interviews: record a series of interviews on a topic and embed them on the webpage (as individual audio clips or a single edited segment).
These are just a few ideas… the possibilities are as wide-ranging as your imagination.
In each case, don’t forget to include a title, your name, an introductory paragraph, and credits for any CC licensed media you may have used.
Deliverables
Submit the following to Blackboard:
- A creative brief (fill this template)
- All the master files for your project (This is the .psd for Photoshop, .ai for Illustrator, .ae for After Effects or .aup3 for Audacity).
- Link to Open Lab post with:
- Link to live page published by Replit.
- Link to code on Replit.
- A description 2-3 paragraphs long and should explain the project to someone without any prior knowledge. Use this template.
- Attributions for any media (images, sound or other) used from Creative CO
