“One normally does not think of a computer course as
lifechanging, but it certainly was for me! I was trained to
notice the finest details of the printed page. The class also
explored design, typography, color, the printing process, and
much more. I was amazed at the multitude of practical uses and
opportunities that arose from developing this skill!”
