Overview

• Time to form groups.
• A few more notes on design.
• Playing and brainstorming.

Administrivia

• Sit with your project partners (or alone, if you have no project partners).
  • Yes, you can take a few minutes to identify project partners.
• There seems to be some confusion about upcoming work. Exam 4 (due week 14) and the final (finals week) are different creatures.
• If you choose to take the final, you can take it at 9 or 2 on Tuesday or Wednesday of finals week. (I teach two sections, and each section has two times.)
• Morning section: Thanks for allowing Narren to record your comments on me. I do not plan to watch them. But I have heard that you need to work on being more critical.

Forming groups

• Ideally, you'll find a mix of skills - at least one person with design skills, one with coding skills, and one with "management" skills to keep the group together. I may ask you to self-identify.
• Identify people with whom you would like to work. If you need help finding a group, let me know.

Making compelling images

• See yesterday's notes.

Free time

• Look at sample images.
• Play with MIST, if you desire.
• Do the lab.
• Ask me and the mentors questions.
