Okay, so in an attempt to organize the project and save paper, etc I have started this wiki.  Please let me know if you have any questions or are unable to access parts of it.

Multimedia Presentation Overview

Overview

This project is intended to give the participant an opportunity to engage in a thoughtful study of one or more forms of creative, higher order thinking and problem solving. Using your photography skills and emerging talents as a designer, and manipulator of graphic and media-based artforms, here is your opportunity to try something new and hopefully make it personal and meaningful.  Please remember to:

• Keep it simple

• Remember that less is sometimes more, but more frequently more is.

• And please, please, take creative risks.  Do something you never thought possible or wanted to try but wasn't sure how.

• But keep it appropriate to a school environment
