Here is our place to come together as a class to post your projects and to comment on each other's work. In addition to the project work, each week you will post a short review of the work of a graphic designer found from the list of 68 Graphic Designers posted in week 1 on the syllabus. Two posts are expected from each student... project work and review work. Each counts as one attendance.
