Why did you select this theme and what do you want the viewer to gain from this presentation? What was your rationale for selecting these images?

Students will produce a exhibition on a theme relating to some aspect of course material: Pre-Renaissance to Post Modernism. The exhibition must display a “room.” The room must have between 10-15 artworks demonstrating a single theme. You are expected to visit several different websites to retrieve images (a minimum of three different sites). Your topic should be as specific as possible: Too broad: ImpressionismMore focused topic: The modern life of Paris in the art of ImpressionismToo broad: Leonardo da VinciMore focused topic: The architectural drawings of Leonardo da VinciYou can choose to present your exhibition room using a PowerPoint presentation or other digital media (such as Video, Prezi, Google Open Gallery, Art Steps, etc). Note that students who use another format other than PowerPoint will receive a 5 point bonus. The goal of the exhibition is to form a flow that takes a viewer through the theme in a connected and seamless manner. The organization of the exhibition is paramount to the viewer’s experience. Consider how you may present information for the viewer to gain a more formal understanding of the theme. You may for example, choose the obvious chronological ordering, or you may opt for a different flow. Give the organization careful consideration. All images must be captioned with artist (if known), title, date and original location (where did the artwork originate?). Include two or three sentences for each image that explain its importance.Included in the exhibition is the information below either in a separate document attachment or embedded in the presentation itself (suggested). The written portion should be about 2 pages (double space). This can be considered the curator’s statement (you are the curator)be creative!Title of the exhibition
Introduction of the exhibit that includes goals.

What is your rationale for placing the images in the order that you did?
How does your exhibit contribute to our understanding of course material? This is your opportunity to demonstrate knowledge of the subject and what you have learned in the course.

Visual media can have a significant impact on how effectively a message is communicated. Appropriate and strategic visuals can inspire the audience, lend clarity to a message, and, in general, say things that words alone cannot.

Throughout this course, you decided on a message to communicate, determined the most effective platform or medium for that message, and selected the most appropriate visuals to support the message. For the Final Project, incorporate a minimum of three different types of visual design, such as typography, graphics, and images to deliver your intended message. Note that if you did not create the visual, you must include a reference for the visual(s) contained in the project. For this project, use the concepts youve learned in this course to effectively apply visuals to a business-related message. Below, you will find just a few examples of how visuals can be utilized to communicate a message in the business setting. Feel free to use any of the examples listed below, or if you choose to select examples not included on the list, be sure to request instructor approval prior to completing the Final Project. Examples of Business Communication How Each Example Might Look for Your Assignment Presentation on department achievements PowerPoint slides with visuals such as video clips, images, and charts and associated speech in the Speakers Notes section at the bottom.. Print advertisement for your own business Word document or PDF version of an advertisement, complete with appropriate image(s), embedded (or links to) video clips, composition, typography, and company logo and website. Training materials on your job responsibilities Word document or PDF version of job instructions using typography, composition, and relevant images and video to promote clarity. Company website Word document, PowerPoint, or PDF mock-up that illustrates what you would want your website to look like. Complete with appropriate images, effective composition and color usage, company logo, video clips, and shapes representing where the buttons would be. Your Final Project must contain aspects of each element discussed in the course as it applies to your example communication piece. It must use appropriate typefaces, deliver a clear message, and have clear brand identity. It must also use an appropriate composition of graphics, photos, video, or other visual media. In addition to the text, your paper must contain a minimum of five scholarly sources, two of which must be from the Ashford University Library. In your five- to seven-page paper (not including the title and reference pages or the three visual media examples), be sure to address the following: Discuss the rationale behind choosing each of the three media elements and support your discussion with concepts from the course material. Explain why the media elements contained in your Final Project deliver the message you intended to communicate. Describe the intent of the message. Apply a minimum of five concepts from the course material to support your choice of media elements. For example you may use concepts such as visual literacy, perception, visual marketing, storytelling, design, branding, social media, communication theories, or any of the other concepts presented during the course. Be sure to discuss the relationship of the concepts to the media elements that you have chosen.

How different were the alliance maps produced by the individual groups. Does the alliance mapping method produce reliable results?

2. Which vegetation alliances (or species) were winners and losers as a result of the fire and why?Answer the first, you are to write about the process of creating your own alliance maps of polygons and how they compared with those of other student groups. Explain the process of how the map was created and also, in general, whether the maps from the different groups were fairly similar (how were they similar) or very different (how so)? Be critical and describe this process.
For part two, you will compare the 2007 vegetation alliance map (use the 2007 Serrano vegetation map
Serrano Vegetation Map 2007 (cropped).jpg (277.96 KB) and compare it to the vegetation map you produced (post fire map). Your task is to discuss two winners (species that appear to have increased in area post fire) with two losers (species that appear to have decreased or disappeared post fire). Once you have chosen your species, look them up on google or the California Native Plant societies web site and read about the fire ecology characteristics of the species. You would expect to find that the “fire followers” or species that recover quickly after a fire to increase and those that recover slowly, or by seed, to decrease. Is that what you find?
Note that the 2007 map is an “alliance” map that only lists the 1 or 2 most common species, so compare these with what you determine to be the most common species in your own maps which Scott has scanned and posted (Note that you may use your map or the map of another group).
