Denver. The Big City. Home of the Broncos, and of the highest stadium (and population) in the US. It’s absolutely fascinating. We only have a week, but it’s been jammed full of activities and adventures so far. Our first three days here have been dedicated to a scavenger hunt of sorts. They weren’t items like […]

I decided to use this week’s self design challenge as a creative outlet. Sitting around for hours with a cup of coffee and my sketchbook, I cut and pasted a poem I had recently written about my (now ex) boyfriend into a four page zine layout. I also added a bunch of doodles I had […]

As has been noted in previous blog posts and videos, our group this week has been experiencing some communication problems. We’ve all been hearing about Dev’s challenge, and we knew that this one would help us with communication skills. In fact, the challenge today did exactly that. In the morning we met up and took […]
