Session 1: Welcome to Media Design Studio. This week we will introduce ourselves, review the syllabus, discuss the course outline, and prepare for Critique #1. This website serves as a repository for course resources and notes. What you will need this semester:

1. A robust code editing environment
VS Code suggested.
2. An FTP client such as the FileZilla FTP Client,
3. Access to web hosting for your portfolio. Bluehost suggested.

Session 2: Today let’s discuss what’s required for our first critique this week as well as go over an outline of the course and assignments.

Critique #1: Examples of Prior Work
Points: 1 (toward participation total)
Due: Week 1, Session 3

Description:
Submit three to five examples of prior work that you have created. Examples might include illustration, graphic design, web design, and/or audiovisual work. Your work doesn’t have to be “portfolio ready” and may also include works in progress. We will critique your work in class during week 1, session 3. Submit your examples on Canvas as either links to sites or videos, or uploaded as PDFs, PNGs, and/or JPGs.

Session 3: Be prepared to show and discuss you examples of prior work today in our critique.
