Project Proposal

          20% Time Project Proposal

 

Name: Mary Dixon Wigginton

Project Title: Phone Cases 101

Project Start Date: November 7^th, 2014

Project Completion Date: May 15^th, 2015

Mentor’s Name: Mrs. Browning, Shannon Wigginton, John Wigginton

Brief Description: I will design phone cases to help me with my creativity for my 20% time.

 

Overview of Project Proposal

 

1)      Project Objective:

For my 20% time I will try to improve on my creativity. I am not the most creative person, so I think doing this will help. I will have to be creative to make the phone cases look awesome and crafty!

      Also, I am going to try to improve on my artistic abilities. To make the phone cases look neat I will have to be artistic and creative. Working on crafts 20% of my time in language, I think will help my artistic abilities.

Lastly, if I get to this point in my project, I will try to sell the cases I make. It will be hard for me to get to this point because I would have to make a case nice enough to sell, and I would have to make an account or find a way to sell it. Selling these cases, though, will help me with many skills like marketing and managing money. I will also gain some of those skills from buying cases to decorate. Anyways, I don’t know if I will get to this point in the project.

2)      Project Rationale:

I hope to gain many things from this activity. Things like: creativity, artistic ability, persistence, marketing, and other things too. I am doing this project because this is something that I think will be really fun, and it goes with my interest.

 

3)      Project Steps:

-          Buy phone cases

-          Research decoration ideas

-          Find items to decorate the cases with

-          Decorate the case

-          Sell the cases (depends)

 

4)      Timeline of Activities:

Make my plan! Decide what I want to, get the supplies, and things like that. I will blog post to update on my ideas.

February 2015 – April 2015

Design the cases! In the time I will be doing the hands on things with the phone cases. I will design them with the designs I planned. I will also continue to blog post with pictures.

May 2015

During this last month, I’m not positively sure what I will  do yet because I might try to sell them. But I will reflect on what I have done this year with 20% time, and tell others about it.

-          I might not have enough time to finish all of them

-          Ill mess up on the design and ruin the case

-          Not being able to make a good blog post every week

-          Not knowing how to upload pictures

 

7) Research Questions:
