Poster Presentation
Let’s take some time to talk about your projects.
Remix Assignment
There is one final component to Project One, and that is that I would like you to design a “remix” of one of your classmates Presidential Posters. The inspiration for this project is Gries chapter 8, “Obama Hope, Parody, and Satire,” specifically the sections “A Popular Parody or Meme” and “Obamacon” (pages 220-239, you should read these to help generate a strategy for your remix). As Gries illustrates, not every remix of Obama Hope was intended as critical satire–the popularity of the image created imitations that had nothing to do with politics. As you sketch and plan your parody, you should feel free to be inventive and have fun. And remember that we will be sharing these parody posters in class next week.
Once I have all the .psd files uploaded to Canvas, I will upload them to the files section. I will get these up by tomorrow. Note: as of 10:29, I only have 5!
The only requirement for the remix is that you begin with another person’s .psd file, and that, when we look at the final, we can determine which file you chose.
Deliverable: You will bring a full-color printed copy of this poster to class next week. There is no need to submit a digital copy.
