Visual rendering rubric.
This is an early-semester, lower-stakes project that values experimentation. Students may excel at this assignment by taking risks (and potentially "failing" from certain aesthetic points of view). The point of the assignment is to learn more deeply about a keyword, learn more about how to use visual rhetoric to communicate to an audience, and perhaps ideally create a product that in the end actually achieves this communication goal.
For a rating of "excellent," the visual rendering must excel
2 OR 3 of the criteria categories (2 if they are superb, 3 if they are excellent.)
Alternatively, a superior degree of experimentation or risk involved could lower any of the ratings requirements.
For a rating of "very good," the visual rendering must excel at 1 or 2 of the criteria categories and do well in 1 or 2 other categories.
For a rating of "good," the visual rendering must excel at 1 of the criteria categories and do well in 1 or 2 other categories.
(A rating of "average" would indicate less-than-impressive fulfillment of all of the four categories.)
Criteria:
Critical thinking about media
Complexity (of thinking, analysis, interpretation, research, or visual design)
Originality (this includes appropriate "remixing")
Clarity and Concision
