Aspects of Proposal to Address

• Address TARGET AUDIENCE throughout each of the following aspects of the project
• CONTENT/STORY- What is your message/story? How will that be communicated in your visual content? Are there other sensorial components involved in this experience? What are the lighting conditions?
• PLACE/SPACE - Where is this content displayed? Why this location? Who will experience this project? How will the content activate the space? Will it establish a sense of platemaking (importance of this space in relationship to specific activities)?
• IMPACT- How will this experience be memorable? Does it engage the viewer physically? Does it engage the viewer mentally? Will the viewer's behavior change (physical or mental) through exposure to this project? If so, how and why? Is this experienced on an individual level? On a group level?

**Proposal templates to be provided next class.

Idaho Commons Building Facts:

• 200 individuals either work in the Idaho Commons Building or have offices in the building.
• At any given time well over 800 students can hang out, study or eat in the Commons, in comparison, the Library "fishbowl" provides room for 40 students and the Student Union Building provides space for 70 students.
• The Idaho Commons also incorporates sustainable design features, making it an efficient building. These include day-lighted classrooms with movable walls and clerestories, providing extra light in spaces that are normally walls.

Examples of Existing Idaho Commons Art primarily painting and other tradition studio art
