Welcome to R541!
This course covers the basics of technology and of media design
for instruction. In this class you will work on design projects individually,
and work together with your classmates in the critique sessions to discover
and apply the principles of message and media design.
Requirement for Original Work
This is a design/production class. You are equally responsible for
attending to technology use and to design decisions while you work on
your projects. You are also required to produce original work for all
aspects of each project. Any text, graphics, photography, animation
elements, video or audio elements must be created entirely by you. this
means you may not use clip art, existing video or audio (except 30
seconds or less of recorded music used for intro or out-tro segments on
audio files), or anyone else's text, no matter how brief the excerpt, regardless of whether or not the work is copyright-free. You
will be in violation of course requirements if you do not produce your
own work, even if you have not violated anyone's copyright or if you
have express permission to use the material. The
one exception is Project 1 -- for this project you may use web images
to represent the common objects you include in your form and function
analysis.
