Welcome to Experiment: Process course!
We will be using this Zoom link on the course
https://aalto.zoom.us/j/65456028112
The Experiment: Process course provides students an opportunity to learn to work with an actual visual identity design project in small teams of two in a structured manner. A client is present in the briefing of the project, in the interim presentation, and the final presentation. The student work includes planning the project and concluding background research that will influence the creative work and the concept. The design phase is iterative. Students are supported in the project through lectures and feedback.
English oral skills course is integrated with this course and students will learn how to communicate and present professionally.

If you have questions you want to take up with the client or things that need clarification you could post them here and I can then organize a meeting with the client if necessary or forward the questions.
Interim critique next week is also a good opportunity to bring up these as you already show your thinking and the client can then counter possible misinterpretations.

Dear students
The coronavirus situation has limited contact teaching in the past year. With the help of the spring 2021 Allwell? study wellbeing questionnaire, we aim to find out how students are now doing and how the coronavirus situation has affected their study experience.
Each student will get the link to the questionnaire in their aalto email address. The student also receives a counter-feedback that allows them to develop their own study and wellbeing skills. In addition, Aalto University receives important information to support the development of teaching so please answer the questionnaire.
The Allwell? study wellbeing questionnaire is open 10.-24.2.2021. The target groups are second-year bachelor’s students and first-year master’s students
From the link (in the header) you will find links to more information about the annual implementation of Allwell? study wellbeing questionnaire, as well as other material.
