FAQ for Integrated Assignment 2
Is it a group presentation?
Yes. Each group should present their work together, and also be able to voice their own opinions and contributions to the finished work.
Does each member have to post his or her work on their own Tumblr blog?
Each member of the group is supposed to post their own thoughts and documentation (see step 7 in the brief). Each member should also post their finished group work on his or her own Tumblr blogs as well.
How many pieces of work should each group come up with?
As this is a group effort, there should be one completed piece to present per team. Of course, if each member in the team feels the need to extend the project, you may do so.
Must it be a visual product?
Again, remember what was said in class, as well as in the brief. You can “use pictures, drawings, videos, T-shirts, songs, performance, theatre play, ID cards, comic strips, banners, hacked objects, sculpture, something cartizara that illustrates your idea.”
