Due next class:
Three Sketches for a 10” wide X 14” high poster. Make your sketches 25% of actual size. (2 ½” wide X 3 ½” high)

Sketches can be rough, as long as you convey the idea. Choose a business, brand, or social cause and create a poster that integrates a QR code into the design. You don’t have to draw the QR code, just draw use shape where the QR code would be. Along with the QR code, your sketches can include typography, a line drawing or photography. Include a short paragraph on your thinking process. Upload any sketches to your Drop Box folder or email them.
