Homework| Week 8

Next week we will add past project samples to our projects page. This means you need to dig up your old projects and save them as (PSD) Photoshop files. BRING TO CLASS!!

If you don't have design projects you will need to put together examples of production projects you have worked on. For example: binding and finishing, digital asset management, project management and workflow analysis, digital pre-press projects. You can include a description of your contribution to these projects in addition to an image, file or diagram.
