Example of what we'll be doing Monday in InDesign....

Lynda.com

Hey folks -- good first class. Sorry about the troubles with the Lynda.com redesign! I found the relevant pages and made links on the right side. All you should have to do is sign in with your Drake account and you should be good to go. Let me know if you have any trouble with it.

Williams ch. 1-5 tomorrow and bring a magazine!

Also if you want update on Facebook, here is our class page.

Survey!

Hi folks! Please take this survey before Wednesday! And please write your name on the last question so I know where you stand. (It might be best to take it after I go over everything on Monday so you'll have a better idea of what you might be most concerned about/want to do in the class.)

Welcome!

Welcome Fall 2011 JMC 59 students! This is the first post of the Fall semester.

We're going to go paperless for this class, which means this website will be our main resource for handouts, assignments, and news.

Monday we'll cover the syllabus, introductions, and I'll do a short lecture on design -- and bad design.

For Wednesday, please bring a magazine to class. You don't need to go out and buy one -- see if you can borrow one from a neighbor if you don't have one handy. We'll critique an ad from it.

Lastly, here is a link to the syllabus.
