Screenshot capture of the Social Studies Conference’s website.
A typical scene in my life…
April 2008… I decide to submit a draft for the Social Studies Conference: Educating Designers in a Connected World to be held at MICA this upcoming October. Deadline for submissions… July 15th. Yup, I got time.
July 14th: 6:00pm… Dammit! It’s been raining all day, internet connection has been down, and I have to submit the abstract! Tic, tock… Tic, toc…

I submitted the abstract on time (see below)(and I even got a happy confirmation e-mail from the conference).

As soon as the ideation session was complete, and without giving them a second to cool down, students were instantly informed of their afternoon project. As a team, they had to design a poster and they had to follow two guidelines:
• The poster had to announce a new feature of the CAM museum
• Each team member had to be traced onto the posters

Most of the movies should be easily recognized, and those that are not, may just need a bit of a creative push… :)
