[Media Studies & Communication: Week 5, 4th Period]

[behindeyesonly.livejournal.com]

The coffee machine burbled at the back of the classroom as the students filed in, Logan sipping his own cup of java as he waited for everyone to take a seat. The screen was off, and a table with all of the handouts so far, as well as a few new ones, in nice neat stacks was at the sidewall.

When everyone had seated themselves, Logan stood up, smiling at the class. "'Morning, class. As I said last week, today we'll be covering what your midterm is.

"Until now, we've been covering media and how it conveys information - now I'll be asking you to put that knowledge to work. Your project will be to construct a mini marketing campaign around a product, either real or imagined, and come up with some sort of advertisement that you think would adequately market it. It could be as a print advertisement or a commercial or something of your own devising."

Logan gestured to the side-table with the handouts. "Feel free to reacquaint yourself with what we've covered so far as you guys pair up. If you really want, you can go solo, but I'd prefer if you made more of a concerted effort - two perspectives can give you a better idea of whether you're hitting your mark than just yourself.

"I'll be asking for a short proposal to be submitted by next week. You don't have to detail it too much, but I'd like to know what other information I can have available as well as what kind of equipment you might need.

"The midterm projects will be due by October 23rd. We'll have at least a half-session between then and now where you can work on it in class and ask me any questions that come up. Today you can just focus on finding your partner and brainstorm campaign ideas. Go ahead and have fun with it, be silly or serious. Bonus points for creativity."

[ooc: Wait for OCD la. Play nice! As with all assignments, you can do as little or as much as you like. You can be elaborate and actually photoshop something up or just describe it when the time comes - it's all for fun, so go crazy.]

"What?" Peter asked, getting a bad feeling about this.

"I want to advertise Peter Be Gone. It's a spray you use to keep away you. I think you should be my partner just so I can be accurate."

"How about a new industrial strength adhesive? Our advertisement could be you hanging upside down from the ceiling. Sorry if I leave you there on accident," Peter said.

"I've stuck to ceilings before. It was fun," she tells him.

"See? You'll enjoy it," Peter said.

"I'm sure there's a way to combine the two things. Spray something at someone you hate and make them stick to a ceiling while you run away like a little girl."

"I would be walking away slowly, personally," Peter said. "And laughing. And pointing."

"Sure, of course, I believe you, uh huh."

"Oh, come on. Have you ever known me to run away from you when I could taunt instead?" Peter asked.

"Not with me, but I'm sure you've gotten beaten up a lot by others."

"I've managed to beat up more people than have beat me up," Peter said.

Re: Find a partner

[fates_jaye]

"And I completely believe that," says Jaye, who doesn't.

"So we're really working together on this?" Peter asked.

Re: Find a partner

[fates_jaye]

She shrugs. "Guess so."

"Well, this will be interesting," Peter said.
