Unit 1 Project

I've had a vision for the project that I have been toying with since we received the requirements and I read the information on campus expansion. Tonight I pretty much put the background together along with a couple elements. If I can get the server space set up this time, I will try posting a link to it. I made the trial project the size that the board will be so it is a pretty big file.

My idea so far is to have the background consist of students representing the 3000 that need to be accommodated for by 2015. My 3-D element will be a picture of the school that I make a few copies of and then use foam sheets to make certain parts of it 3-D. I haven't done it for awhile so I hope it turns out how I want it to.

Other argumental elements will be that it will enrich the student experience through more degree offerings and a wider selection of classes including art classes which we don't have now. Also it will help the community by bringing more jobs to implement the expansion and a few more jobs once it is complete (more professors and staff at the school along with the idea that if there are more people living in the area local businesses will be affected), there would be more cultural events, lectures, and concerts with the proposed expansion for the community to enjoy, and students who already live here but want a 4 year degree aside from the 17 we have to choose from will get to stay in the area.

Ihae a few ideas for how I will visually add these to what I have now but I am not satisfied with what I have come up with so far. I need to work withlayers more and the ones I want to do aren't coming out the way I wanted them to. In our readings there is a part that says that every detail should be there for a reason and none of it there for just decoration. I need to work on this more and also use images intgrated with text (an vise-versa) instead of separating them.
