HW for the M/W 102 classes... this is due on this Wed the 12th.

This Wednesday, the 12th, you will be presenting your proposal to the class. If it is not quite done, you will still be sharing what you have. Each team member should complete at least one of your assigned questions, including editing and the art choices. (Obviously, if you can get ALL your questions done, that is preferable!) Remember this is our last class before the final, so you need to share stuff with us on THIS Wednesday.

This is the work you will do to get the proposal done:
1. Figure out the different tasks that need to be done:
over all look:
decide on your lay out choices--fonts, headers, borders, placement of stuff, pull quotes, title page, Table of Contents, Team bio page...
writing:
gather the writing and organize the order of the writing under each question-- and check the writing for grammar and repetition--
visuals:
find and decide on images
find or make charts/graphs/ timelines/ bullet points

2. Assign team members to do the different tasks. (Brianna, a 1A student, says, do it by having team members do specific questions. 8 questions can be done this way: 1, 2,3, 4,5, 11, 13, 14---plus the extra question that you did yourself 7, 8, 9, 10 --you should do your own question
3. schedule your work plan. (good communication is important here, over the course of the week)
4.  DO the assigned tasks.

(one tip--lets say you are working on some question from the proposal. You can work on it in a different doc, then import it to the master doc when you are done.

ALSO, don't forget that your proposal should include those After Action Reports that you wrote if you weren't able to attend the {Pumpkin Fest}--

In addition, these questions will also need to be in the proposal, under a category that is about prototyping.
  1. What do you hope to accomplish at the Movie event? (See if you can do Rule of 3 on this question.)
  2. What is the event or activity that you have planned? (Be specific and detailed about this. Do not just say “scavenger hunt” --give us the DETAILS of your event or activity.)
  3. What materials / supplies do you need? (Again, please be specific.)
  4. How will your table area be decorated? (Again, please be specific.)

guidelines for making the proposal look great

hey there, below are 3  sets of notes from 3  different classes. There is of course some repetition of notes, which is cool. Your team should read thru these notes to get guidelines for making your proposal AWESOME!

CLASS ONE

Design Notes for Final Hard Copy of Proposal
 
  • Repeating visual motifs
    • Index page
      • Hexagon shapes
    • Other pages have circles and squares
  • Sections
    • In the index
      • Should be skim readable
        • Pictures tie everything together and give support
  • Colors
    • Colors tie each other in together from page to page
    • Use or keep in mind a color pallet
      • E.g. pg 25 & 26, 27 & 28
      • Only works for back to back pages
  • Picture layouts
    • Pictures are organized and linear
    • Captions are key for photos
      • They tell the people what is happening
  • Stay to the Point
    • Have content that you can express through creative imagery, ex pg. 25
      • E.g. you could have a chart, graph, timeline
  • Repeating Factors
    • Don’t over do them, example pg 29 & 30, you don’t want to make the reader dizzy
  • Section Starters
    • Consider breaking proposal into sections
    • Have a pages dedicated to the section starters
      • Have a big photo that connects to your project
        • Think the photo out and find a good fit
  • Borders
    • There is blank space surrounding every page and it helps with
  • Quotes
    • Have “break out quotes” or “Pull Quotes”
      • such as on pg 20 at the bottom
    • Also add quotes underneath headers, they will add depth to the section
      • Try to quote the people of Hayward more than Famous people
  • Graphs
    • Put them in there
    • Turn graphs landscape to make them fit better on the page
      • Make them bigger so that they are readable


CLASS TWO

· Use borders
· Table of Contents
· Make the theme based on your project
· Think about drop shadow
o It’s something that makes it in 3d
· Include information on someone they can contact if interested

· Pictures can have captions
· Have statistics
· Paginate your pages
o Google docs does it for you

· Include pictures
· Each section should have an introduction
· Have quotes
· Full color
· Have links out
· Ways to get it printed

o Do it at work
o Have someone in your group do it
o Pay for it
o Chabot could help

CLASS THREE

DO Full color
Make colors blend together and support the overall theme of the proposal.
Ex: Art=primary colors and secondary colors, art related visuals that catch the eye
Consider double sided
Make the proposal look almost like a magazine.
Looks more professional and wastes less paper. #climatechange

Make the visuals consistent
Obviously the pictures should all be somehow related. Can’t have pictures of balloons with a picture of a cat in a sweater!


Try to keep everything easy on the eye, make sure content is still able to be read.
Take image and visual choices seriously- make everything connect
Use different ways to divide the content
Bullets
Charts
Boxes
Breakouts

Breakout Quote- a quote pulled from the page that you want people to notice more. If you have a full paragraph but within that paragraph have one specific sentence that you feel stands out or is impactful, you can put that quote to the side in a box, circle, etc. to bring the reader's attention back to the quote.


Keep it interesting, don’t make it painful to get through! Change it up!
Use different orientation if needed
If the chart seems too big...flip the page sideways! Landscape orientation could add extra pizazz

HW for the T Th 102 class--due on next Tuesday, the 11th.


Ok , we are moving into the creation of your proposals. For this to go smoothly as possible, it's crucial that your writing for each question that you are doing is DONE.
ALSO, for this part of the project to work, its crucial that you have open and on time communication with each other. As well as a clear understanding of who is doing what.
The deliverable next week is the first great full almost done draft of your proposal. You should bring an online version of it. (You don't need to print it--too costly at this juncture.)

How will we get there:
1. Figure out the different tasks that need to be done:

over all look:
decide on your lay out choices--fonts, headers, borders, placement of stuff, pull quotes
writing:
gather the writing and organize the order of the writing under each question-- and check the writing for grammar and repetition--

find and decide on images
find or make charts/graphs/ timelines/ bullet points

3. schedule your work plan.. (good communication is important here, over the course of the week)
4.  DO the assigned tasks.

HW for the Monday nite 1A class ...due Monday, Oct 22nd.

Homework that is due Monday, Oct 22nd.

Ok, the work is starting for this project. It is crucial that you stay in contact with each other, and that you each do your part. 


1. The first thing you will is do the necessary research to make it possible to address this question: Please provide data, case studies, past experiments/experiences, success stories from other cities, etc. to support why you believe your project will be successful.

You will each be doing this research independently, and you will each turn in 1-2 pages of writing that summarizes what you found in your research. (This means that as a team, you will have between 5-8 pages total that can go towards that final project.)  Pls include links in your HW.


2. A big part of this work is interview research.
To get started, ask yourself what you would like to ask South Hayward people about the project.
It can be questions that you simply dont know the answer to, like "where should we hold our event.?"
or it can be questions that reveal personal preferences or opinion. Pls come up with 10 possible questions. 
From the 10 you will need to develop an interview survey that has 7 or so questions.
Once you have the 7 or so questions (you can keep it at 10 or so if you really like the questions),
A. your team should create the survey--You can use google to do this
B. Send me the survey, so I can offer advice--You should send it by Tomorrow nite--I will advise you
C. you will each interview 4-5 people from South Hayward, this week.
D. You will share the results of these interviews with your team (and me) next Monday.


Each member of your team will give the survey to at least 5 community members
from South Hayward. If your team has, for example, 4 members, and you each survey 7 people = 28 people.
That is a good sized interview pool.

Once you do the interviews, your task is to trend out the interviews.
You will each do this with your individual interviews.
Then you will do a mega-trending that combines all the individual trends.

If you want some of your questions to have number answers, or ranking answers, that is fine.

But some of the questions should be written answers. (you can do the actual writing if the person just wants to talk.
Avoid yes / no style questions  ...also you  should really try to do video interview of the person if possible.
