CLIENT FINAL PROJECT PREP

FINAL PROJECT REFLECTION

Prof. Padwo-Audwick’s COMM-105 final project has given us the chance to prove our worth as communicators and helped us prepare for the professional world that awaits us just around the corner. Since the Professor told us what the final project was about, I already knew I wanted to make a comic strip. We were fortunate enough to work for a company that made this idea work. This company is Humans Who Play and we specifically did our communication strategy on Follies, their new toy. Our team knew that since this company was only a startup, DC local, we needed to do a local communication strategy as well. We decided we would focus on reachable social media influencers and decided to work on achievable goals, not long-term goals. 

In the group, most of the integrants took leadership of a different part of the presentation. I decided to take the design aspect of the whole presentation, from choosing the Canva template to creating the mascot and the Fred and Farrah Adventures. I took these tasks into my own hands because I know that that is what I am good at and it is always best to trust your other team members that they do the same with the thing they choose to do. I  believe I had an essential role in this presentation, I tried to merge all the different components we had worked on and merged them into one whole presentation, I gave it a certain “flow”. 

​

My opinion of the final product based on the visual principles I have studied this semester is very positive. I believe that we made a more than competent presentation. Chloe, CEO of Humans Who Play, loved our ideas and even asked us if which ones we thought would be good to implement right away. She gave us the chance to prove our understanding of the class. Creating something for a real-world organization, even though challenging, gave us the opportunity to widen our knowledge. I think this is one of the most fun, enjoyable projects I’ve had, I was able to prove my worth as a designer.
