$200 Budget/Hello newcomers!



Hello folks, this is the first post on the new Graphic Design Society (G.D.S.) blog.

We're a group of students at the Massachusetts Colleg of Art and Design in Boston, MA.

We take a special interest in graphic deisgn, and have come together to perpetuate its appreciation and practice in our community here in Boston, MA.

This first post will be about how our budget has been cut from 1700 dollars (or seventeen hundred dollars) to 200 dollars (or two one-hundred dollar bills).

We're determined to earn a larger budget by impressing the Massart/College of the Fenway Schools by showing what we can do with $200.

First we will host a late Novermber gallery show themed around Typography and Hand Lettering. And later we will be going on a design firm tour around Boston open to GDS members.

We're also open for freelance work, for no compensation. All money would go into the production of the finished materials. Contact at GDS@Massart.edu.
