FINAL PROJECT
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
 

-Project should be innovative, and somehow reveal a synthesis of the participants' knowledge fields
- The project is a proposal: looking to the future, but potentially realizable


The final project consists in the conceptualization and visualization of a public multimedia proposal to be realized as a web document. Presentations of such proposals are similar in nature to presentations of architectural project concepts or any other proposals that integrate multimedia components (film, theater, entertainment rides, spectacles, media events, etc.) They normally consist of defining the concept, supported by giving an idea of the visual identity, what the technological components might be, and other information necessary to convey the value of the project to potential funding sources. This could also include: budget breakdown, production specialist overview, and work schedules. Because of the competitive nature of these projects, the presentation and aesthetics of the proposal itself requires innovation, surprise, challenge, conviction, seduction and information. A study of project presentations from the field of architecture give the best examples of how to proceed.
