Phase I: Ideation & Research<\/b>
\n<\/b>December 2025 \u2013 February 2, 2026<\/b><\/p>\n
Ideation & Research will consist of the formulation of the conceptual framework for your project, identification of a larger narrative \u201ctheme\u201d or story, and the development\/collection\/creation of content and other raw materials.<\/span><\/p>\n Once a theme is defined, build and shape your content and ideate how you will represent your narrative(s) visually, or build your campaign. Investigate, sketch & rationalize how the medium is appropriate-to and reflective of your story. Exploit the unique affordances of each medium.<\/span><\/p>\n Design Development will encompass the creation of multiple narrative contents (your \u201cStory World\u201d), the planning of a systems-oriented functional framework of three (3) distinct narratives that work independently and as a \u201cwhole\u201d \u2014 the goal being: form\/medium and content inextricably working together.<\/span><\/p>\n Design Implementation will involve the refinement of your narrative\/s, the build-out of all technological requirements (i.e bookbinding, interactive prototyping\/simulation, etc.) and the design and planning of your individual exhibition.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This is the Design Validation phase. It will focus on the completion of your Capstone, and the coordination and presentation of a cohesive transmedia narrative experience at the exhibition venue.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>*Please note that you should also be advancing your personal branding materials and portfolio website over the course of this semester. There are a couple of times that we\u2019ve allocated to review\/touch base on your progress. It is important that each student is proactive about this work and manages their time responsibly to include its advancement. Final deliverables include this work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Phase I: Ideation & Research December 2025 \u2013 February 2, 2026 Ideation & Research will consist of the formulation of the conceptual framework for your project, identification of a larger narrative \u201ctheme\u201d or story, and the development\/collection\/creation of content and other raw materials.
