Week of December 5-9 | The LAST Week of Creation Phase [Project Deadline]

This is your last week of creation. What are you going to do to to round out this phase? What do you have that is not quite finished? What can you add more complexity to? Have you taken feedback into consideration? Think about your vision of your Exhibition in January. Who will be there? What professionals have you worked with?

Announcements:
