Products
and Product Proposals
Your 'products' are sections of your portfolio that you will be creating for this show. They are documentation of the work you are already doing for the show and your chosen area...it is something tangible that would be created as a result of the successful completion of the jobs in your area of focus (as well as work you are doing that may not be in your area of focus).
HOWEVER, before you finalize and submit your product, you will create a 'product proposal' for it (that will double as a cover page for the product). This should include all of the items and pieces of documentation you plan to include in your product, and explain the product for anyone who is looking through your portfolio for the first time.
The proposal should be approved by Mr. Faw.
