Today in class we went over the homework which took up majority of the class time. Most of us came up with pretty interesting ideas to promote the Graphic Design/ Visual Communication design option. Eric came up with the idea of displaying student work during the first week of school at a table in the main walk way. We thought his idea was good because the main walkway gets a lot of traffic the first week of school so we would be able to reach a lot of students. But we had to come up with a way to make the students interested. I had a similar idea with promoting on the main walkway but I really wanted to touch on the career options a graphic designer would have post graduation. From my experience it seems that a lot of people are scared to choose an Art Major because they don't think there is a lot of opportunity to make  money or find work. I think if we make it a point to show all the things a designer can do and work it would encourage more people to become interested. Overall, I feel there were a lot of creative ideas but many of them already exists but are not successful. After going over the homework we did the teacher surveys and ended class.
