Multimedia Project

Overview: One of the skills your have learned this year is how to communicate with graphics. You can tell stories with your photos, your layouts and your writing. You can also combine these skills using a multimedia approach in which you combine audio, text and visuals together.

There are a variety of tools available to you tell stories in a multimedia manner. The following list are a few tools that you can use for this project:

• Flier created in InDesign: Use InDesign to create a flier for a real or fictional event. The flier must combine photos/images with text to promote an event. The flier should include all the appropriate who, what, when, where, how and why information and be visually appealing to viewers. Enhance your flier by adding an Aurasma "Augmented Reality" experience.
