Assignment+Three

= = = = = = == =Assignment 3: Cultural Jamming/Social Influence Project= __Due:__ Thursday, November 5 (Proposal, 5%) Thursday, November 26 (Presentation, 20%)

In groups of 3‐4 formed in your lab, you will work on a particular culture jamming and/or social influence project. Effective culture jamming projects will leverage essential media form and design principles to shine a critical or ironic light on a particular issue of interest. Social influence campaigns, while similar, aim to spur awareness and action regarding a particular issue vs. simple ironic commentary.

5% of the final grade will be allocated for the group’s formation and proposal, due Nov. 5 20% will be reserved for the quality and effectiveness of the work created and for its presentation in the lab period November 26. Specific criteria will be discussed and outlined while groups are formed.
