Vox Trip Details & Possible Studios
Remember, this Thursday (Sept 30) we’ll be signing up students for the Vox trip. We will open up sign-ups in FAC 316 after the 3-6 class period (roughly 6:05) so that if your schedule conflicts with meetings, you can still go on the trip.

Ligature 20 Brainstorming →
As promised, here are the notes from the Ligature 20 brainstorming session. We broke into groups based on ethos (ethics), logos (logic), and pathos (passion), 3 elements of good design.

The trip is Nov 3-6, with the 3rd and 6th reserved for travel.

Bigs & Littles
If you were at the first meeting this semester, you’ll know that this year, we plan on assigning Bigs & Littles! We stole this idea from the Greek system in the hopes that design students already in the program can help freshman and sophomores with any trepidation they might have about the admissions process and/or upper division.
