Mid-Term Submission

 

It is approaching the time for the submission of your mid-term documents.  To submit your documents, make a folder in Google Drive with your name and Worldbuilding in the title.  In the folder put the following items:

1. A copy of your distant planet image 275px by 275px saved as a png file. (See image assignment parameters below.
2. A copy of your 5:3 image of life on your planet sized 500px. wide by 300px. high.
3. A Pdf file of your Planet inventory including the recent material on Gender and Sexuality.  You pdf file should also incorporate your 500px by 300px. image. Below are the parameters for the Inventory PDF file and the image file parameters.

Submit these documents and place them in your Google Docs folder in such a way as I can download the entire folder.  Email me a link to the folder so I can download it by midnight on Friday, October 16.

Inventory PDF Parameters

Make sure you write your Inventory so that it can be understood by someone other than yourself.  Try to be as clear as you can about the various aspects of your planet so someone else can get as clear an idea as they can about the physical and cultural aspects of your planet. This is a process document that someone else will need to use, so give as much information as you can in the way you would want to receive that information from someone else.

At the top of the page include your name and the name of the planet/moon you are creating. It will help if you organize your inventory in the same topic subdivisions we have used from week to week during the first half of the semester. If you have any confusion over what to do, I will hold a question session after zoom class next Tuesday.

Image Assignment Parameters:

Although much of what we will do in this class this semester is based on writing and the creation of process documents (like a World Inventory) we would like you to create two images to assist our visualization of your planet and its human inhabited ecosystem.

One image will be put at the top of your inventory which will be submitted as a pdf.

This image should be in an aspect ration of 5:3.  Besides using this image to illustrate your inventory, you will need to create a version of the image 500 px. wide by 300 px. high saved as a .png file.  This image should be a wide-view of a place where humans live on your planet incorporating as much of the local ecology as you can show.  

The second image will be a picture of your planet or moon from a distance that will fit in a transparent square 275px by 275 px.  This picture may also be included in your Inventory PDF but will need to be submitted with the Inventory.  This image should be a .png executed on a transparent canvas.  The size of the canvas should be 275 x 275, the image can be round within the square of the canvas.

These images will be due in two weeks when you submit the first versions of your Planet/Moon Inventories in pdf form. The images can be constructed in photoshop, illustrator, or other program you feel comfortable with.  The output for submission is .png.
