Hello,

Welcome to week 4!

Inclass:
Due: 3 pencil or ink sketches of your ‘Get Out the Vote’ development concept for your poster. We will review in class. I want each of you to speak about intention:
A. What is your concept (message you are conveying). You should be able to articulate this in one clear sentence for each sketch.
B. Who is your audience? Even though the campaign is geared at a very broad audience, you can focus the audience for your purposes, for example: 18 year old NYC residents.
