Poster Project

All classes:  

Another review:  Go to this page, right click on the zip file and download.

Those finished testing need to choose a project to work on.  This applies to all students expect Practicum students. 

Here's one idea:  choose a poster from this site to recreate.  Make posters 11" x 17" or 17" x 11".   If in Photoshop, make sure resolution is set at 300.

Let me know which poster you choose so I can make sure there are no duplicates.

Please take survey

You're my life's one Miracle,
Everything I've done that's good
And you break my heart with tenderness,
And I confess it's true
I never knew a love like this till you....

You're the reason I was born
Now I finally know for sure
And I'm overwhelmed with happiness
So blessed to hold you close
The one that I love most
With all the future has so much for you in store
Who could ever love you more?
