  • Only take 30 minutes
  • Work to make sense of your idea. You will not have enough time to refine it.
  • Make a screenshot and download your image
  • Upload jpg file  to OpenLab.
  • Create a new post named “Last Name_First_Name_ TC_ET
  • Give it categories “Student Post Type Challenge” Type Challenge – Expressive Typography”
  • Save your work as a jpgs named: “Last Name_First_Name_ TC_ET.jpg”.
  • Insert your jpg INTO your post.
  • Comment on at least one other students work. Try to give your assessment in terms of what is working or not clear. Simply “loving or “liking” or “being blown away” by work is OK but not the helpful. Stating what and why the work is successful and what is not working is key to refining and improving work.
