Project Timeline

One of the biggest road blocks I find myself coming across in working with an established organization like SOU is helping others see that my idea is good enough to spend school funds on. At the moment that is by far my largest concern. I will of course go ahead with my project regardless of the school's decision to fund it, but without the school's help I'll have to settle for a one-time show sort of deal. With that in mind, here is my timeline for the term:

1/26 - Come up with an initial proposal to those who could potentially help with funding. Address common concerns as well as those which people may not consider. How much money will this project require? How do we address energy-related concerns? What is the most cost-effective projector that suits our needs? Most importantly, how will this benefit EMDA and the university as a whole?

1/31 - Hopefully have a proposal submitted to the necessary people by this day. The proposal should be of professional quality complete with digital renderings of what the final product will look like. Meanwhile, work on some of the letter designs and familiarize with Flash.

2/2 - Most letter designs should be done by this day.

2/7 - Continue working. Regularly check up on proposal status. Beg for money on the street if necessary.

2/9 - Work

2/14 - The digital work should be completed by this date. I should also know by now whether or not a permanent installation is reasonable or not. If it is, consider ways in which we can make it interactive. Happy valentines day! As always, I'll be wearing green.

2/16 - Begin installation work and testing proof of concept. Thankfully I have a small projector at home that can help with this.

2/23 - Everything should be finished by this point. Final presentation any day after this.

As for my evaluation, I will be ready for one on or after 2/7
