Lecture Topics
We will be working with CARP to design their identity.

This Wednesday at 10AM, Maureen Healy from CARP will pay us a visit and provide us with more information about her organization and their needs. This is your chance to ask specific questions that should eventually influence your design decisions. In preparation of her visit, please read this document that she has provided for us about her organization:
