Graduation 2012


Featured Projects: Team Campaigns
 

Campaign Management 401


During the students' third year, they take a class called Campaign Management 401 wherein the entire semester is dedicated to working in teams on a single campaign. The skills of coordinating deadlines, coordinating ideas, and coordinating schedules as well as conflict management, time management, and personnel management are all absorbed - the students simply must sink or swim in a situation where others are dependent on every individual's participation and contribution. Above are samples of campaigns that were created; below are samples of team logos and identities.

Thanks again for all the Art Teachers who were able to make it to our Illustration Workshop last week. I heard many positive comments, and I saw a lot of smiles, so I count the event as a success!
