Season 3

For tomorrow’s due date

For Wednesday, please have all the elements of your project ready at 8:30am: InDesign document, image(s), text, and materials to mount the final output. However, don’t actually do the final presentation, just bring everything to do and we’ll do it in class. On the computer, create a folder named with your last name, then place within it your InDesign document with your final project layout. Please know what typeface(s) you are using. Place a copy of this folder on the desktop of computer Seven. I’m going to open them all and we’ll discuss what you’ve done. Then we’ll print them out, go into room 116 and discuss mounting and presentation. Again, be sure to bring everything you need to do this tomorrow!
