Culture+Jamming+(Social+Influence)+Project

Culture Jamming/Social Influence Project (30%)
Due Date: Nov. 30th

In groups of 2-3, students will work on a particular culture jamming and/or social influence project of their own design and on a topic of their own choosing. 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 action and awareness of a particular issue, not simply offer detached ironic commentary.

5% of the final grade will be reserved for the group’s formation and proposal, due Nov. 2nd. 5% will be reserved for presentation of the group’s final project and 5% for draft proposal due Nov 16. 20% will be reserved for the quality and effectiveness of the work created. This includes presentation, wiki documnetation and final concept. Specific criteria will be discussed and outlined while groups are formed in the first half of the course.
