Syllabus & Assignment

In this project, you will design and print your own notepad. This is a long project, in fact, it should take up to two weeks to complete the project. Some of the steps involved in this project include designing, printing, cutting and padding your own design, leaving you with your own notepad to take home. The Offset Syllabus will describe the steps, requirements and objects for this project.

To see how your notepad will be graded, you can take a look at the rubric. This is a long project, and because it is so long and detailed, it is worth 250 points.
