- A VERY Interesting Class
We had a class this morning with Dougal Muir, who will be our external examiner of our final projects.
He came in for an Art Direction class, and we got a really good chance to sit and chat about what he will be looking for in our projects when we present to him in one month. […]

- Print and DVD Authoring Project
For our term 4 Print and DVD authoring classes, we are creating a package for a movie of our choice.
The movie must be in the public domain - so we were instructed to goto www.archive.org and search around for some materials to work with there.archive.org. I chose Dick Tracy meets Gruesome.
I am going to include […]
