Welcome to VisCom 3rd year

Hi all,
For those of you who were'nt aware of our 3rd year classes, it began last sunday - 6 Sept.

We have 1 subject being "taught" at the university this year - TV production, which is being handled by Mr.Muralidhar. Opening day saw a poor attendance of about 8 people.

Other subjects include Web Design & HTML, 3d Max, etc.,

NEXT CLASS on 20th SEPTEMBER 2009.

Important Announcement

Its necessary that we submit a project relating to "Visual Communication" or anything we've learnt so far. Project needs to be done & ready for submission by February next year.

Jamaal with his head's up advice suggested the following things

Stage 1 - we form groups of 3 or 4 or any number appropriate ASAP (preferably by end of this month)
Stage 2 - After groups are formed you discuss and come up with something you think will make a good project. Could be an AD campaign, Web campaign, a short film, etc., [anything that's got to do with what we've learnt so far]
Stage 3 - We prepare a draft of what it is about and get it approved by Jamaal or the University (not sure who or whether both)
Stage 4 - Execute the project
Stage 5 - Document it. Make 3 copies of it. 1 for the university, 1 for Jamaal & 1 for u.

That's just a gist of what it's all about. If you have any clarifications please call Jamaal or attend the next class.

More for later.
