This course explores concepts in design direction, art direction, and project management. It will only partially involve media production and will instead focus on process, organizational aspects, and the design and documentation of media projects. The course includes a good deal of writing, but it is writing geared to enhance your creative pursuits in both professional and artistic situations. The course will cover the following areas: Creative direction management skills, writing (especially writing clearly about creative work), research skills, budgeting and timelines, and organizational structures. Visiting lectures from local project managers, art directors, budget officers, and lawyers are scheduled.
