Projects

In an age of information overload, it is imperative that we get our messages across clearly. Campus boards are over saturated with information, making it difficult to access and process important information. The goal in addressing this problem was to cut through the printed and online clutter, and provide a clear and easy system that gives students access to information while maintaining a simple method for student input and usability.
