Inside Graphics I Folder, create a folder called “Final Exam”
Inside that folder, create 4 new folders called Logo, Album Redesign, Lyrics Poster, and Finished Pages.
Everything used for this project MUST be school appropriate!

Expectations of work:
Remember my rule of thumb: If it looks like it can be done in Word or Publisher, it is NOT acceptable here. This is Graphic Design, not Desktop Publishing!
