This is the final opportunity to make any changes before grading. Revise your logos, Behance, Workbook, and Jing presentation.
The workbook should be organized and designed. The sketches below are to be used as a minimum guideline. If you need additional pages, please feel free to add them. Any steps that you revised can be added in addition to the assigned pages. The purpose of the workbook is to show your process. Make corrections in spelling, visual layout, and content throughout the final workbook before posting it to your process blog in WordPress.

Conclusion Blog Post for Project 2
A portfolio blog post is different than a process blog post. The purpose of a portfolio blog post is to present your final project in a manner that you would show it to a client/employer.
The post should be designed and encourage a reader to engage. Include paragraph breaks, subheads, or other typographic elements to make the post visually accessible.
Learning to present and sell your design work is a skill that is developed by making presentations. At the end of each project, you will be expected to make an audiovisual presentation to explain your work. The presentation should show the steps you took to get to the final piece, be voice narrated, and may not exceed two (2) minutes in duration. You are free to use any means to create the presentation. Your presentation should show your work in its best light.
Remember to include the following in your presentation:
If you need more specific information on creating an AV presentation (using Jing), see the instructions under Lesson 3 in Week 2.
When you are finished with the presentation, make a new blog post in WordPress and copy and paste the link from Screencast (or other video streaming site). In the same post, answer the following questions:
After you submit the final post for each project, review and critique each of your team members’ Final Logos in WordPress. Comment and provide feedback using the following rubric:
