Research the Project

Definition Research - Begin by reviewing and selecting one word from the Word List by clicking on the "Word List" link. Look up the definition of the word from 2 different sources, highlight the key words that you feel are most descriptive for the meaning of the word. Consider their meanings carefully and think about how the meanings might visually be expressed. Then write a brief description that defines the mood and goal of your project.

Document your research by creating a Word file that lists the two definitions for your selected word with the highlighted key words and your written goal for the project.

Pictorial Research - Using the internet find several images, which you feel relate to your assigned word. Select at least two images, shapes or effects from your pictorial research that you feel best represent the meaning of the word. Both the selected images and your assigned word must be included in your design.
