EcoTech Approach

Create an Approach or ‘prototype’ for project based on your EcoTech Intent.

You may revise or change your Intent if necessary, though you should adda short note to your intent with your new idea.

An approach or”prototype” looks like a finished project, but because you can navigate or present the project, you can hide those aspects not fully complete. The project looks complete, but some implementation details may not be fully rendered. For example: If you plan to create a website, you might use Photoshop to mock up 3-4 key pages, and then show these pages in a slideshow, or as large images in a basic website that allows you to “click” to the other pages. Or you can create a basic UI with Adobe XD with basic navigation for either web or mobile device.

Another example: if you plan to build a Unity game, you can also show a series of images that show what key game play moments would look like. You would describe the gameplay , the levels, the characters, and setting, and the main goals of the game as well as the winning scenario. You might include Unity screenshots, and samples of the code. Your model here is a post that looks like a game review.

You might use many other formats: sculpture, origami, gameboard, video, etc as long as the projects has a conceptual connection to New Media concepts and strategies. In addition to the “prototype” include the following (use these 4 titles in your post) :

1. Background: this gives any brief info the viewer needs to better understand the project
2. Explanation: while the project should be able to stand on its own, this section allows you to give any brief info for the viewer
3. Credits: who was involved, or what sources or inspirations you had for the project. Mention specific classmate feedback, for example.
4. Simple Budget for estimated cost.
