Feb 9th: Proposal Writing

The class today was about the Proposal writing. Siew Cheng made us research on how to write it. But so far, only two groups in the class got it correct. I took notes of how to do the proposal as it was being explained in the class as it was important for our final work too.

There are 7 steps into doing so.

1. Design Problem - Statement (Short Paragraph)

2. Research - On target audience as clients (Will be of different age groups so we'll have to be wary of what they'll expect), Budget; The amount needed to be spent on each factors involved in the design. (Optional)

3. Objective - Solving a problem (Understanding the problem and needs of the audience)

4. Strategy - Getting the attention of the audience. Maybe through the use of humour to entice them (Common working strategy since laughter is not restricted) Whether racism or sensitive topics should be added might have to be debated.

5. Mediums - How the message is to be carried to the audience? Via the use of TV adverts? Radios? Etc.

6. Design Outcome - How is the final outcome like? (For the case of media, will it be a drama or a documentary?) How to continue about doing it in future?

7. Synopsis - Of the final design solution. Will be a recap of what was covered above, but in clearer details so to finalize the idea. (Can be related to what was learnt in Creative Storytelling)
