Digital Layout. My first B. Four more points I woulda had an A. It was because I bombed the first 4 quizzes. All my projects in my Digital Layout class were spot on. I just had trouble with the written parts!
So, here is my last project I turned in and got a 96%. It's a newsletter. And here is what my teacher had to say about it.

Your technical skills with InDesign have certainly improved and it looks like you're starting to think more creatively with your concepts. Resist the temptation to put boxes around everything and to center headlines. Make sure that your type isn't crashing into other elements. Several of your images are distorted, including the DCL logo and it is a BIG no-no to distort logos. |

here's a comment from my friend CC up in Illinois:
"I love reading your blog, partly because you're an art student and having been one myself, I can relate to your classes and projects. But I also love your blog because you're a heckuva lot of fun! So, go create and have some more fun...
