I think the visual/design portion is going to end up being my favorite part if the course because of all the creativity and art involved, which is what I’m into the most.  As far as the assignments go, I really like the idea behind the minimalist movie poster.  Distilling the premise of an entire film into a few essential lines is an awesome, and although I’ve seen some great ones Dave’s Star Wars poster killed it.  It’s so simple, but you don’t even need the movie title at the top to tell exactly what’s going on.  The Submit an Assignments have really brought out some creativity, but if I had to pick a favorite that would be it.  If you haven’t checked it out yet please do:
