Digital Media Consultants can work with students in the following areas:

  1. Concept Planning and Collaborative Strategies:  Our consultants can provide general strategies on planning and working collaboratively, brainstorming ideas, drawing storyboards, and providing feedback on storyboard concepts.
  2. Visual and Multimedia Analysis:  We can help students analyze and incorporate visuals and multimedia arguments into their essays.
