 Section 1, Section 2

What you should submit

Your final project pitch should consist of a 2-page document, submitted in pdf or docx format, including three components:

  1. A 300- to 500-word, single-spaced, written proposal
  2. A wireframe mockup
  3. Three sources in a bibliography

Page 1

The first page of your pitch will include a written proposal—single-spaced, about 500 words, and no longer than 1 page in length—describing your current thinking about the project’s topical, conceptual, and technical registers. Please use headers to separate each of these sections.

Throughout the pitch, you must also reference:

  • at least 1 primary source resource (e.g., historical map, dataset, text) for your topical register
  • at least 1 secondary source resource (e.g., scholarly essay, article, book) for your conceptual register
  • at least 1 methodology resource (e.g., an existing geospatial analysis) for your technical register

Page 2

The second page of your pitch will include a wireframe mockup of how you expect the final product to look. This mockup, which speaks to the graphical register of your final project, can be digitally rendered or drawn by hand.

Your sources can appear underneath the wireframe mockup, underneath a header entitled “bibliography.”

Sample project pitch

I’m providing this sample pitch so you can get a sense of scope, format, and expectations for the proposal. The sample pitch extends the topics and methods introduced in Sketch 03 into a final project. Your submission doesn’t need to look exactly like this template, but it can!
