The New Graphic Design School

A few years after graduation, my college professor, Dr. Sheena Calvert, and I worked together a on a textbook dealing with the nuts and bolts of graphics design for first-year design students.The book, entitled The New Graphic Design School: A Foundation Course in Principles and Practice, was published in 2009 and is available on Amazon, and was sold for universities and colleges worldwide! Being that the book was split into two sections—Principles and Practice—my specific focus was on putting the Principles (discussed in the first section of the book) to Practice. Creating various new chapters to be added to the existing manuscript, such as Web and Internet technologies, Print Production Issues, and Digital Printing, I also worked very closely on the Commercial Application chapter. This chapter put the principles and practice into play by giving various real-world examples of industry fields and careers.
