Assignment Description and General Guidelines
These and all other written assignments are not merely a part of the working process behind solving a design problem, but are also designed products themselves (documents of the very process which will lead to your solution). Therefore, I expect that written / print-based assignments be presented in a manner no less professional than the project website itself. Think about the types of information you are presenting (e.g. text and graphical descriptions) and do your best to craft a clear, unified and coherent presentation of the parts listed below.
Written assignments need only be as long as is necessary to express your ideas clearly and completely. Also, please spell- and grammar-check all text.
Use the Projct topic definition from your refined website problem definition.
Prepare a clear and concise statement of the design problem you intend to solve. Again, be as specific and concrete as possible about the specific goals or issues that you intend to address and how you propose to satisfy them through developing one or more director/shockwave modules.
Note: Once again, I will treat this statement as a best estimation. Preliminary concepts or other details presented at this time will likely be revised.
Use the audience definition from your refined website problem definition.
Students should prepare a legible presentation of organized brainstorm content. This may take the form of a collection of lists, or a mind-map type of representation. The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate that you have brainstormed possible or potential ideas, and having amassed a collection, have begun to organize them into logical categories. Refer to Content Brainstorming for general guidance.
Using the categorized brainstorm lists, students should prepare a legible presentation of the structure and flow of information/activity in the proposed module. Map out a structure or sequence that best relates the categorized lists to each other and the content as a whole. Through specifying topical sections and subsections, this document will serve as a general structural outline for your module. Refer to Flow-charting for general guidance.
