Action Plan
• Failure of some students to hand in work on time is an ongoing problem
More emphasis on importance of deadlines in school and in the industry.
More severe grading penalties for late work
• Students have an ongoing problems planning work in stages.
More emphasis conceptualizing and planning
through
thumbnails
, small preparatory sketches
Grading the planning stages will be instituted.
• More emphasis on the importance of doing many
thumbnails for optimum design solution
• Students have a persistent problem explaining their work.
Grading class participation is also helpful.
• More emphasis on thinking about overall composition
Lectures showing the work of famous illustrators with
explanations of why their compositions are successful.
• More emphasis on the relevancy of assignment to client demands
This will be instituted through actual cases of client artist interaction
