ASSIGNMENTRequired of B.F.A. Graphic Design majors during their last semester. The purpose of this course is to develop the student's work and portfolio simultaneously. Entrance to the Capstone is contingent upon approval by an adjudicating committee composed of full/adjunct professors in the Department of Art. Prior to beginning the Capstone, the student is required to present his/her proposal project for the Capstone to the committee. This presentation should include work from previous courses, influences, and directions for future growth as well as a concise agenda for the Capstone. This class is dedicated to refining a student's: design abilities, theories, and stylistic approaches in graphic design. Special emphasis will be given in preparing each student's portfolio, working knowledge and creativity of desired job before entering an interview. This class is for stretching the student to develop a level of design competence that reaches beyond current cultural standards while aiding them in finding their respective niche. Prerequisite: All required and additional courses for the B.F.A. in Graphic Design.
Basically, this was the accumulation of all of my work in my major. Capstone was open to all students to pursue something they were passionate about and wanted to explore. I was allowed to choose any client/project/direction I wanted.

ASSIGNMENTWe were instructed to rebrand one of three organisations: Google, NASA or the ICA. The Graphic Design course at Brighton University has little to no emphasis on brand/identity design, it's far more directed at "image making" in my opinion. As such, this is a small and quick project — quite quick, actually, just in 24 hours. No further restrictions.
