  2. Project Titles – An interstitial page for each project. All project titles must be visually similar in typeface, color and complexity/simplicity.
  3. Project Pages – examples of each project at 100% bleeding off the page. Each composition must be set in facing pages to the others. Choose works that compliment and contrast each other for each spread.
  4. Written Response – 300-400 words on the last recto page that describes how your perspective on graphic design has changed over the course of the semester. Be candid and thorough in your response, citing specific projects and your response to them. This should be no larger than 10 or 11 pt type.
