It's Springtime, and Creative Brains are Blooming

Spring has sprung here in East Tennessee. Our home is on the Dogwood Trail, and the cars are creeping past as occupants stare. You'd think it would be cool to have your abode admired this way, but it's weird.

Design students are in the home stretch of spring semester, prepping their portfolios and projects. My Design I students are working on their book designs, while Typography is working on the American First Aid Kit and Intro to Mac is designing their CD package.

There are two upcoming events downtown worth doing for designers. So get out there in this great spring weather and do 'em.
