This document provides guidance on producing high quality final projects in different media. For a digipak, it emphasizes using original images and design conventions, and proving contributions. For a poster, it stresses original images, proper genre style, lighting, and conventions. For a music video, it recommends thorough planning, varied shots with framing and style, well-paced sound and video editing to convey meaning clearly without drawn-out takes. Common student weaknesses include lack of lighting, composition, and editing consideration.
