Remix.

From our study of examples of mashup/remixes in class, design and merge together

elements from two media objects.

Another important element of the assignment is to work within a Creative Commons

license, as discussed in class (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/). Research and select

the appropriate CC license for your project and state it with your remix. For examples of

how to do this, see remixes on various sites, e.g. YouTube.com.

You should answer such questions as, Why did you choose to combine these elements

together? Is there any meaning or purpose to resulting mashup/remix, perhaps a message

or feeling?

There are many good examples of DIY mashups with strong political messages, and

others that concern aesthetic or emotional experiences. For example, see

. Again, as with previous projects, give yourself enough

time to test out a small number of variations of the remix to determine which is the most

successful.

This project must be designed for public dissemination. Choose a suitable platform on

which to release it, e.g. YouTube or Tumblr. The task is yours to choose appropriately and

monitor public reactions to it. Come up with strategies for getting your project seen as

broadly as possible! Track its success!
