Podcast Production

Since podcasts are becoming an increasingly popular content medium, our company hopes to capitalize on this by creating our own. In this project, students will collaborate with us to take advantage of trending media and create a season of our own podcast. We would like students to deliver a 5-episode podcast series based on our company’s nice to resonate with our target audience. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Collaborating with the project manager to form a name and a theme for the podcast, and a topic for each episode. Script various components of each podcast episode such as the introduction, welcome, call to action, and outro. Create cover art for the podcast. Research and plan what will be discussed on an episode-by-episode basis. Record and edit each episode. Facilitating special guest appearances in one or more episodes.

Voice Over Scripting & Performance

Our organization is looking to create new promotional materials in the form of a series of videos to promote our brand. We want the videos to be simple but effective, using images and video clips we already have to tell a story using a voiceover. Based on our promotional goals, students will script and record a professional voiceover, and edit videos to convey our message. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Consulting with the project manager to understand the goals and messages for the promotional video. Creating a script for each voiceover and video. Recording the voiceovers for each video. Editing and producing the visual and audio components of each video. Bonus steps in the process would also include: Creating an intro/outro for the videos with our logo.

Creating Graphic Design Assets

Our company has had the same design assets for several years, and although we have enjoyed this branding, we are looking to revamp and update our brand book. This may involve: Creating a new branding guide that is new, but still aligned with our existing branding including fonts, colors, logo usage and imagery to be used. Meeting with the project manager to evaluate the choices made for the branding book to ensure it is aligned with company branding goals, and making any necessary revisions. Designing and presenting thumbnails for design assets (banner ad, illustration, infographic, etc) based on the branding guide to be included in a proposal and presented to the project manager. Executing the full designs for each branding asset using Canva, based on the approved thumbnails. Creating multiple thumbnails with different color schemes based on the colors in the branding guide.
