About this Site
This site was created to be used as a resource for anyone doing graphic design work, from creating a poster for an event or club to people employed in that vocation.
Resources
I have sorted page-specific (e.g., pictures used) and/or design element-specific resources (e.g., a website entirely about captioning or typography) by subject. You can find other resources below.
