Week 12

Apr 20 / 22

Niche Project!

On Tuesday April 20 we will review the Niche project, talk about your selected Niche audience, and how to approach defining the scope of your project.

On Thursday April 22 you will present your Niche Pitch in class. Your pitch should cover: who the audience is, what you want to design for them, and how it solves a problem or would be fun for that audience to use.

Then, over the weekend, I want you to show your proposal to your audience somehow! Post it on a message board, go harangue them where they hang out, whatever. Get some real feedback on your ideas! You may want to make some concept sketches to accompany this.
