But wait... why blog?
Blogging is the first step towards self-branding. Also, blogging in real-time is the best (and only) way to be able to look back and see your progress as an ever-evolving artist. Post your thoughts, your rants, your reviews, and most of all - post your artwork!
Here is the assignment description:
Final Project: Onward and Outward
The final project will be a culmination of everything learned in this class. Taking the skills we have learned and the artistic outlets we have explored, your final project will be a public representation of yourself as a student and artist.
Blog, Bio, and Business cards.:
Blog: Your final project will be the publishing of a blog with several entries (no less than 7) dedicated to your field of study, your interests, and other goings-on in the world around you. In order to qualify as a blog, you must link to another website within each post. It is a good idea to start by looking at other blogs relevant to your own fields (Design Sojourn, Style Rookie, etc.) and go from there.
You biography will be featured on your blog. It is not a resume, but instead a creative and short description of all that is important and great about you. This is the perfect opportunity to showcase your talents, your interests, and your sense of humor. Bios should be between 100 minimum and 200 words maximum.
Business cards: On the last day of class, you will present to the class a sample of your finished business card. This business card should include a personalized design and/or logo which will also be featured on your blog.
Last semester, one student's blog stood out among the rest. Christine Nath blogged about her work, her passions, what she liked about new and hot designs. Christine really flourished in the blogging environment and has kept up with her blog well past the semester's end. Take a look at her blog to see the level of quality that I am looking for in your projects this semester: Nath, d Christine.
