About the overarching Unit Question:

For the Conceptual Project, Juniors develop their abstract thinking and communication skills to answer the question

"How can I use unconventional forms to express myself?"

This project emphasizes creative risk-taking through poetry, music, art, animations, experimental film and web production, challenging students to express their opinions through a distinct personal aesthetic. Students begin developing their technical communication skills by learning a variety of modern professional equipment and applications such as DSLR cameras, Digital Audio Workstations (DAW), Wacom Cintiqs, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Animate, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Audition, Avid Pro Tools, WordPress websites, and Google Apps.

About the specific project within the unit that is featured in this gallery:

Using a variety of lenses and their DSLR cameras, Design Juniors were challenged to shoot field photography images of alphabet-stylized letters to spell out their name, and were instructed to not "create" the letter but instead to find it in situ.

They then edited and combined those photos in Photoshop to spell their name as a creative way to learn how to use DSLR cameras and Photoshop and produce the photos in this gallery.
