Welcome to Practicum 2017.
In the first project you’ll be conducting research and developing visual identities for a group of emerging companies as part of The Penn UPstart Program. Whitney Magruder will introduce the project at 3pm January 12.
Before that we’ll start an exercise that relates designing to giving gifts (’16 gift pix, here).
