I was not looking forward to taking this class. People usually say it is hard, and the thought of learning a bunch of design software sounded pretty daunting. However, after syllabus week most of my worries were put to rest. That was probably because we hadn’t started using any of the software yet…. Fast forward … Continue reading Sore Eyes →
What is the difference between art and advertising? This was the big take away question that really got me thinking in the first week of this class. Although it may seems like an easy enough question, the lines are a lot more blurred than…

However, when it was further explained all my inner monologue could say was…”Yes. That is it.
