L1 Creative Activity: Photo Collage
Overview & Task
Theme:
The goal of this collage is to feature yourself! But – you are featuring yourself in the context of the course and the primary role(s) you are playing on your team. It is a “Meet X from [organization]” type of introduction as a way for each of your team members to get a little showcase on your social channels. This is also artwork you can use to share on your personal channels when you reach out to friends and family to let them know about your semester-long project with a request for them to engage, like, follow, and share so they can help contribute to good metrics output.
