Promotional Experience
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Meet with me at least once a week on the promotional piece. You pick Monday or Wed and be consistent so you keep moving/ progressing on it.
In addition to your own font you will be working with 1 other classmate (groups of 2) to create a promotional experience featuring at least 5 examples (and only 2 of the examples can be from your group). Everything is for you to use is on the Google drive. When you think you want to use a classmates work you need to ask them for permission. If you want to change anything about their work you need to tell them why. You can't just hack someones work without letting them know.
Pick your person and think about which one of these promotional experiences you want to do...
Look though the links on the left. And find examples of what you think is cool. You can't steal but
