Project proposal
You are required to write a 600-word project proposal to accompany your application form. The following headings should assist you:
- title (or working title) and any subtitle of the project
- the form the project might take: book, comic/graphic novel, digital, film, interactive, etc
- the editorial limits of the project (number of pages, running time etc)
- who is the project designed for and what are its intended objectives?
- a description of what the project will involve
- how you would start work on the project
- possible technical requirements
- in what way do you feel the project is designed to be sequential?
- any information you think is relevant.
This proposal represents a project that you would choose to do. It is useful as an example of your thinking. However, many students change their projects by agreement either after interview or on joining the course.
In some cases, students may prefer to do more than one project on a theme. If this is the case, write a brief summary about why you would want to take this approach.
