Publics Project

Summary:

The Publics Project asks students to produce three documents for material in the American public domain or otherwise licensed for modification and reproduction:

  • A book jacket for a public domain text
  • A DVD cover (approx. 5.25" X 7.25")for a public domain/Creative Commons movie
  • A CD cover (approx. 4.75" X 4.75") for a selection of Creative Commons audio

Students will produce three drafts for each material corresponding to various aesthetic schools covered in class. These multiple drafts will be screened during class workshops to help students narrow their multiple drafts down to one for each material. In producing these works, students will take care not to violate intellectual property laws, which will be covered in class. Final works will be delivered as press-quality .pdf files, which will be uploaded to Google Docs and shared.

Deliverables:

  1. Book Jacket (20% of project grade)
  2. Book Jacket Materials Analysis (10% of project grade)
  3. DVD Cover (20% of project grade)
  4. DVD Cover Materials Analysis (10% of project grade)
  5. CD Cover (20% of project grade)
  6. CD Cover Materials Analysis (10% of project grade)
  7. Postmortem (10% of project grade)
