  1. Multimedia & Webpage Design Capstone ProjectsandProject-Based Learning Timberley Adams - Watauga High School

  2. Capstone Projects • Incorporate real life applications. • Demonstrate the way multiple programs and objectives work together.

  3. Capstone Projects • Allow for varied student interests and diversity. • Produce a major project and presentation for assessment of student learning.

  4. Creative capstone business projects combine elements of all 4 MaWD curriculum units into a promotional packet which can be done • as individual projects • by spreading components out over the semester as you finish corresponding units. • as a 1 week group project • at the end of course by dividing up the components between group members.

  5. Curriculum Units

  6. Capstone projects offer MaWD students the freedom to imagine and create instead of copying and reproducing designs and ideas.

  7. Students present their finished plans to classmates for evaluation and discussion of • overall design and ideas • desktop publishing products • graphic and multimedia components • websites

  8. This capstone project uses the following software • Adobe Creative Suite • PhotoShop • InDesign • Illustrator • Flash • Dreamweaver

  9. Google SketchUp • Microsoft PowerPoint & Word • HTML (Some knowledge may be required to fix various issues. Pages couldalso be created in HTML. ) • Audacity • MovieMaker • Other software can be used if Adobe or Audacity is unavailable. • Gimp, Word, Publisher, Open Office, or even HTML with Notepad.

  10. Capstone Project #1 Imagine: your school decides to start a student-run coffee / ice cream shop after school hours to provide students with entrepreneurial skills and entertainment options.

  11. COOL BEANSCOFFEE & ICE CREAM SHOP • Located in the school cafeteria/lobby area • Hours after school, after ball games, etc… • Serving a variety of • coffees, teas and other drinks • Ice cream, frozen yogurt, and other munchies • Featuring Open Mic style entertainment

  12. Why Cool Beans? It’s called Cool Beans because coffee and ice cream use beans (coffee beans and vanilla beans.)

  13. …and because It isn’t like McDonalds. There is no Cool Beans Coffee and Ice Cream Shop with a large well-known media presence or image. This leaves students free to imagine their own designs and logos.

  14. Desktop Publishing (InDesign) • Menu • any basic menu design • 4X6 Advertisement • for school newspaper or sports program. • Point of Purchase Tabletop Trifold • with seasonal or weekly specials • Band Application to appear at Open Mic • done in Word or InDesign, saved asPDF for insertion in website

  15. Graphics & Design • Business Logo (PhotoShop) • to be used throughout project • Color Scheme • to be used throughout project • Floor Plan (Google SketchUp) • 3D showing wall/floor colors, furnishings and decorative elements • Vector “Button” images (Illustrator) • 2 per link to create rollover buttons

  16. Multimedia • Presentations (PowerPoint) • Explaining and presenting all their ideas and choices for designs, floor plans, furnishings, menus and websites • Simple Animations (Flash) • 1 for each page in the website • Edited Sound Clips (Audacity) • For featured entertainment

  17. Webpage Design • 4 Page (Minimum) Website • Splash Restaurant Home Page, Coffee Page, Ice Cream Page and an Entertainment Page • Features: rollover navigation buttons, flash animation, short sound files of featured bands, links to PDF files of their menu and an application for bands to perform at Open Mic.

  18. The final presentations • Students present their work as if they were approaching the school board with this idea. • Fellow classmates will watch and be given a chance to ask questions about choices made. • No questions about financing (we assume that part is acceptable, and that anything goes as far as the need to repaint, carpet or purchase furniture.) • Fellow classmates are given rating sheets to evaluate both the ideas and professionalism of the presenter.

  19. Capstone Project Idea #2 SHOES! This idea works well for MaWD! It also fits in with the Personal Finance unit on consumer behavior / marketing.

  20. Design your own shoeWith The Use Of Online Sites • Students must decide their shoe’s purpose and target market. This will determine how they create the following: • Shoe design, color schemes & price range • Shoe Logo & Name • Print Advertising design & placement • Celebrity for endorsements • Broadcast Media scripts & placement

  21. PhotoShop • Shoe Design from an online site with an added Logo for the student’s brand name • Remove other logos to add student logo or trademark • Celebrity endorsement photos • With shoe if possible

  22. InDesign (Or PhotoShop or Publisher or Word) • Full page magazine advertisement Audacity • 30-60 second radio commercial TV Script • Writen script- shows what is being said, what is being seen, AND what is being heard in the background.

  23. PowerPoint Formal presentation of ideas & promotional plans • Shoe design and Logo / Name • Benefits of their shoe • Celebrity chosen for endorsement • Magazine Ad • and list of magazines it will run in • TV Script or recorded Radio commercial • and list of stations and time frames it will run.

  24. Project Idea #3 • NASCAR DRIVER SPONSORSHIP and PROMOTIONAL PLAN

  25. NOT YOUR ORDINARY NASCAR DRIVERS! Students will incorporate a more diverse idea of NASCAR by designing a promotional website for a new FEMALE NASCAR DRIVER.

  26. Sponsor notes The more sponsors pay the better position, and bigger their name appears on the driver’s uniform and on the car. Notice the size and placement of GoDaddy.com

  27. Congratulations Thunder Valley Racinghas hired you to work for one its newest female drivers. You may choose one driver from Thunder Valley’s list. See thundervalleyracing.com TVR

  28. You need to decide on your target market and possible products for a female driver. Come up with a list of sponsors, and logos that are appropriate for your new driver. • Find photos of the driver, preferably one with a uniform on. (Use PhotoShop adjust colors with the magic wand and hue and add appropriate logos to the uniform and if needed find a separate photo of a uniform and add her head.) • Do the same with a car photo. Use PhotoShop to change color scheme and add appropriate logos to the front/rear and sides . Use liquify and warp to shape the logo to the car’s curves.

  29. Create a website with pages for: • Driver’s Biography &pictures (1 w/uniform) • Sponsors page & schedule. (Car photo goes here. Include links to sponsor sites) • Thunder Valley Racing Info (w/ link to the site) • Incorporate sounds and special effects like rollovers, flash animation, special theme song, and slideshow. Possible Social Media Connection - research and design a possible Facebook or Blog site – don’t upload it just show an example or sketch up a design.

  30. Programs you will use: 1-PhotoShop for graphic images 2-Dreamweaver for webpage creation 3-HTML Code for adjusting page setup 4- Internet Explorer for research and artwork 5- Flash for animation. 6-Audacity to edit theme song. 7-PowerPoint for slideshow **Use frames and tables, for your site. Your driver’s name should be at the top with a consistent color scheme and your navigation links show up on the left side. Use a welcome (splash) page.

  35. Eligible group names: Hysteria * Krud * Sludge * Slacker Doll Face * Silk * Barbie Killers * Good Ol’ Boys Cowgirl Up * PFC * Geezer Hyper * OxyGen * O-zone Teachers want to use group names that don’t exist so that they can’t reproduce ideas that you may not be familiar with. (Look online to be sure.)
