Now at the end of each lesson I'll give you guys  a homework assignment. Don't worry it's optional if you don't want to participate that's fine. However I think it'll make this blog more fun interesting to read.. I'll give you 1 week to do each assignment, i'll try to keep them small projects, and at the end of that week. I will write a HW post where i critique some of the handed in projects. Now i wont give you a letter grade , unless you really want me too nor will i give any penalty for projects not turned in. Like i said before the HW is totally optional and there for anyone who wants to participate.  

HW #1: Find 1 example of graphic design being used either in real life or online.

How to hand in: E-mail your images to SabrinaSummers2000@Gmail.com. For the subject line put "Your name then the HW number". For example: "Sabrina Summers Hw #1" .
