FMP tutorials with Bob Cotton every Tuesday from 20th Jan

From next week, 20th Jan I will be available all day every Tuesday for drop-in tutorial help on your FMP. I can help you with a variety of issues relating to your FMP notably:

conceptual – helping you to refine and develop your idea

practical – helping you plan and deliver your project

methodological – helping you discover the best way of completing your project

contextual – making sure that if you are reinventing the wheel, at least you know you are!

presentational – the best way to finesse your project and to make sure that it is useful to you in your ongoing career post-AIB.

personal – how to successfully survive the FMP and become a fully-realised bona fide interactive media design professional, and live happily ever after…

 

As a guideline, by now you should have already refined your idea into a treatment, and you should have begun to prepare a production plan to complete your planned FMP by May. If you are not at this stage, it is IMPERATIVE that you see me. I CANNOT help you if you don’t see me or at least mail me!

 

Please mail me (rcotton@aib.ac.uk) if you are unable to attend at AIB, or if you have an urgent issue to address.

tutorials Friday 16th on FMP with Bob

If you haven’t had a tutorial with me related to your FMP, then come on 16th Jan. You all should be refining your FMP idea into a treatment – a description of what you want to do. This can be in prose, bullet lists, storyboards, timelines or concept-maps or any other form of diagram that clearly illustrates your idea. From this project description you will be able to create a production plan – a detailed list of all the things you have to have to make your project work by May09. This list should be itemised with the amount of time each item will take to acquire, buy, make or borrow, then converted into a week by week plan of how you will get it all together by May. Come a discuss this with me – or come and talk about your ideas. This is an important project – not just for getting your degree, but it is a golden opportunity to spend several weeks working on a showcase project of your own creation – this kind of opportunity won’t come again until your old and rich, so make the most of it!
