It has come to the end of this course. This course was completely different from the ones I have taken before. Even for the final project, the choices were pretty open. I researched on handwriting and how technology has changed. I chose to produce a infographic poster. Here is how it looks and this link final_project will provide you with a PDF format. The challenge: reflect the written information through a graphic approach. DIFFICULT! I tried to as few words as possible.
