PROJECT 3 BRIEF

Project 3 Brief

Overview: This project involves expanding the designer’s personal and professional development through participation in a number of different activities. The designer should plan ahead as much as possible and tailor these activities to suit personal goals and interests.

Requirements:

The accumulation of 200-250 points’ worth of activities over the course of the semester. All activities must be design-related and clearly documented on the designer’s Practicum blog. This documentation should follow the prescribed Activity Notes Format and include photos, paperwork, receipts, correspondence, etc. Upon the completion of all activities, the designer must write a summation of the experiences and if/how personal goals were met.

Target Audience: There is no specific audience for this project; instead, the designer will be engaging with others and presenting herself as a developing professional in the realm of design.
