Post to the blog the documentation and reflection of your project. This will be graded with your project and not as a weekly assignment. The deadline is before our next class on Tuesday October 21. See the rubric here to see how this will be evaluated.
PROJECT TITLE
Deliver a pointed, clear, lively articulation of your project.
PROJECT VIDEO
A good documentation video that clearly show how your wearable transforms. Format 1920 pixels x 1080 pixels recorded in the lighting studio (coordinate a time to record with me)
DESCRIPTION AND CONCEPT OF THE PROJECT (150-200 words)
Your final project is a combination of the discussion we had and research you did during the semester about fashion, interaction, senses, biomimicry, identity, and textiles. Briefly explain here what your project is, include the concept, and also the theoretical research that supports your concept (readings, lectures, or online resources you found). This part should be something you can add to your portfolio or you could use if you publish or exhibit your project.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
In this part you should include the following:
- State as clearly as you can the main idea, argument or thesis of your project.
- Describe the research that enabled you to arrive at this idea. Provide some detail. Talk about a particular article, reading, project, artists or experiments. Show the references you found and that inspired your concept, design, interactivity, and your work with the material.
- Discuss the methodology you decided to use, the insight you found, the research and experiments you did, and how it influenced the design choices for your project.
- Show the process for creating your design and include good photos of the final version. Include images, gifs, and/or short videos. Make sure to add images of the iterations you did, if you have some, and explain how these improved your final result.
- Include any other information about your project that you consider important to document and share online.
CONCLUSIONS:
Begin your conclusion by restating the goals of your project.
What things you learned? What things went wrong? What things you would improve?
You can think of the next questions, but don’t answer them as bullet points, these are just some questions to help you to reflect on the process:
- What about the project makes you feel more proud about the work you did?
- How does your work align with the your goals and the project prompt? How does it not align yet? or what do you think it is missing?
- What difficulties did you encounter creating this project?
- What do you take away from your failures and accomplishments? Not only in the design, but also working in a team.
- What would you like to change about your final results? Or what would you improve if you had more time?
The wrap-up of your conclusion delivers your final say on the issues you have raised previously, demonstrates the importance of your ideas, and insightfully synthesizes your thoughts about key elements of the project experience and what you learned from this experience.
Note
I don’t mind about typos, so please write it without overusing AI. I care a lot more about how well you understand what you did rather than seeing typos. Additionally, I want to read something that sounds like you and not something generic and boring.
