opportunity at The Hawk:“My name is Ana and I'm the Editor in Chief of The Hawk. We're looking for some help on the design front and one of your students suggested I reach out to you. I heard you teach an Advanced Design class and I was wondering if you had any students who you think might be interested in helping us out? We are particularly looking for students with strong InDesign skills.” Ana Faguy <af641931@sju.edu>

graphic design styles
In the previous class, one of our topics was intuition, or the“inner voice” of inspiration we find in the self and the subconscious. For this class, one of my goals was to now turn outward and think about we derive inspiration from external sources.
One goal of this class is to reflect on and develop your design style or voice. In order to do that, it helps to know what other design styles are out there and to think about how you can repurpose or adapt those styles in your on work.
