Graphics- the last project

Remember way back at the start of the semester? You made some great posters to advertise the Drake Maker Club.

To wrap up the semester I’d like you to make a flyer (8.5×11) that promotes Computer Graphics to Drake students.  Show off your work, your technique and your skills.  Use color.  Make sure that you set the resolution to 180 so that it prints well.

Details:

-landscape or portrait
-8.5×11 with 180 dpi resolution
-use the phrase “Computer Graphics”
-make it clear that they are signing up for a class
-consider using your own work
