Assignment 5

My capstone will include a published book, and it will serve as my explanatory model in order to help improve the issue with photographer’s rights.

 I will be using a cardboard as a poster that can stand by itself in order to present the issues, facts, examples, and information about my solution (what it is, how it works, and how it will improve the issue with photographer’s rights).

 I am planning on publishing a photo-book that will contain photographer’s rights as pictures, so that photographers will be able to understand their rights in an easy and simple way.

The appropriate dress for my presentation would be a formal dress or other formal attire in order to look professional and presentable to leave a good first impression.

 The important points to present in my verbal presentation are the issue photographers are having with their rights, court cases to back up my claim, attempts that have been made to solve the issue, my solution, and how my photo-book will solve, or improve the issue with photographer’s rights. Most importantly, it is necessary for me to emphasize why photographer’s rights are an issue in photography and how my end-product would not necessarily solve, but improve the issue.

My capstone does not require a brochure because all of my information will be on my poster and my essay, but it I will consider it. The brochure could possibly serve as a way to summarize all of the important information, or as a way to promote my photo-book. The brochure could allow me to promote my photo-book by explaining why it is important to know photographer’s rights, and why it’s easier to buy the photo-book rather than having to research about those rights and having to struggle with understanding them.

 I am thinking of using the internet to spread the word about my book, but I’m unsure if I should just promote my book on social media websites, or if I should create a website as well. If I do use the media, I would probably just create an Instagram, Tumblr, or Twitter and follow people interested in photography to tell them about my photo-book in order to make my end-product effective. If instead I decide to make a website, then the website would serve as an informational site with the research I’ve made for capstone to emphasize why they should buy the book. It could also serve as a way to provide my audience an electronic copy of the book for those whom prefer it instead of the hard copy. Aside from promoting my photo-book, I could also create an animation or video on how photographers would benefit from purchasing the photo-book.
