VIRTUAL TOUR

December 2023 - CAA Juniors and Sophomores

Trip to Tilt Museum

The objective of the trip was to create a fun learning environment for students to interact with art. The goal is to change their perception of art as something conventional and proportional, and demonstrate how static images can be designed to be visually striking and interactive. For advertising this concept is very important. Realizing the potential to design an engaging advertisement that people will share on social media is a step towards envisioning viral advertising and marketing.
