You've made it!

Hey guys!

Can you believe this is the LAST day of class? YAY! You've made it this far and by this time next week, you'll be able to enjoy all the benefits Summer vacation can bring.

Just remember that our Final Critique is on Monday, May 2 at 1:30pm in the mac lab. This is the day when you also need to submit a cd with all 5 hi-res JPGs or PDFs of the projects you worked on this semester.

If you want to resubmit a project, make sure to do so by Monday. Put the new file in the CD, name your file as a resubmission and make sure that you inform me that you're resubmitting a project. Projects must be resubmitted the exact same way you submitted them the first time. [see assignment sheets if you're not sure how you need to submit it].

See you on our final critique!

BBDO's LandSAR print ads (tricky to see with the resolution but there's an Exit door and "We'll get you out" – you get the idea)
