Please watch this piece (it’s not quite an hour long) and come to class Thursday ready to define and discuss design at large. You may want to click through rather than watching it embedded so that you can watch it in HD.

Expectations for H&T Team Presentations

From your Team’s assigned Chapter in Meggs:

Identify significant artifacts
Introduce the people who appear in the chapter
Discuss the tools and technologies
Explain the major stylistic characteristics of the time period(s)

The format of the presentation itself is completely flexible. You can make a web-site, a slide presentation, a video, a radio-play, a game show, a book, an animation, etc.

The only three requirements are 1) that the information listed above is well-covered, 2) that whatever you produce can be presented to the class in an hour or less, 3) that the material is suited to a general audience (there are many other venues available for embarrassing yourself and your peers; please don’t use this one as such.
