Protecting and submitting your work

When you submit your final class work, demonstrate a dedication to your design practice and show a sense of professionalism. Protect your work from smudges, wrinkles and bends by covering it with a piece of protective tracing paper.

1. Cut a piece of tracing paper to the width of your work with about 1″ overhang on the top.
2. Fold the 1″ overhang and tape it with a piece of drafting tape to the back of your work.
3. Protect your work from spills, rips, and other accidents by carrying it to and from school in a protective portfolio.
4. Write your full name and the project number (ie: COMD Project #1) on the BACK of the work in lower right corner.

Yes!

NO!

Lab 2

• Work independently (and silently). Feel free to listen to music using headphones!
• By the end of class you should have completed at least one of the two compositions.
• Individual meetings with Professor.
