1. Proposal for CCMS Grand Opening Event
On the 7th
December 2011, we plan to give the hallways of the College of Communication and
Media Sciences a PERSONALITY!
As a group of 12 CCMS students, we hope to represent the rest of the College and to show
everyone what we are made of; Highly intelligent, hard working, creative, enthusiastic,
determined, and most importantly, students who are full of life!
We have come up with an idea to represent exactly who we are, not only on December 7, but as a
permanent display. We plan to be decorating the outside of the College, as well as the hallway
outside of the Dean’s office.
Theme: Film premiere-extremely visual.
The Outside: (Outside display will only be temporary)
We plan on having a projector project onto the roof of the promenade, displaying communication
words to let everyone know where we are.
We have found a socket that can be used, and determined how we can place the projector so that
it will not be in the way.
Once you step out of the lift, onto the second floor, we plan on having a red carpet just outside of
the College, with velvet ropes, to give it a Film premiere look. We shall have 7 silhouettes of
paparazzi and reporters printed onto standing cardboard, to give it a lively and action pact feel.
In addition, we will have 6 mini spot-lights on the ground and 2 large ones. This should help in
livening it up as well.

2. We shall also have 2 glass-case cupboards, which will display media tools to let people know
what media students and people around the world can’t live without!
Just outside of the college will be a rollup banner, displaying a picture of CCMS faculty and a
few students as well- to show unity and how we all work together.
The hallway
Once you enter the hallway, the movie shall begin. A roll of film will start on the wall where the
film will fall out and display the best work of students from all over the college. (Faculty will be
able to use this display where they can update it, and show the latest creations of their students-
Not only will this encourage students to work hard, but also to be proud of their
accomplishments.) We hope to be able to paint the silhouettes and film strips onto the walls with
high quality glossy paint (Joton), to give it a professional and very neat look. (Just like the
decoration on the twofour54 walls.) We will
be using Black, White, Grey, Red, and a
few touches of Gold- very classical and
professional colours. We plan to draw the
outlines throughout this coming week, and
spend our weekends painting.
The film strip will connect to various
silhouettes of all types of media all over the
hallway. This will help in consistency and
give it a classical, professional, and creative
look.

3. The hallway will be separated into 5 parts; one wall will display
works of students from converged media- articles they have had
published in the newspaper. Another wall will show advertisements
and logos students have created in their new media course. Another
wall will show pictures of events and places students have visited.
Another wall will display photography, etc.
No one will be left out, and the walls will display EVERYTHING our
College has to offer.
We shall also have roll up banners displaying clubs our college has,
which includes the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), and Zajel
(Our student media outlet).
In the middle of the hallway, we shall have a projector which will
display a video that wraps up what CCMS is all about, and a few of the
best student films created. We shall use an electrical outlet from Maha’s office, which can
project straight onto the wall of the opposite meeting room. (This will be temporary)
We plan on having a long table pushed back to the walls, which will have refreshments and
handouts for our guests.
At the end of the hallway we will curtain it off with red curtains, as it will be the Graduation side
and faculty information. To avoid damaging the walls, we will use a shower curtain rod, which
will hang the curtains in a beautiful and elegant manner.(The rod will be covered with extra
material, to give it a richer look)
We hope to have a wide LCD screen, where a slide show will be
displayed of previous capstone projects and information of ZU
graduates.
One of the walls will display professional pictures of our faculty
members, with their names, and job title.
The other wall will be named our “Wall of Fame,” which will display
information on ZU graduates, their accomplishments, where they work,
and where they are heading. This shall show our visitors what CCMS
has done and how they have helped their graduates reach where they are
today- this should also inspire current CCMS students.

4. We are aiming for a very classical and professional event, which would impress anyone who
would take a look. We hope you can trust us with this responsibility, as we are a group of hard
working perfectionists who are aiming to provide the best that we can.

I have added some of my paintings and sketches for you to have an idea of what kind of art I
have done.
