Class-specific Links
Google Drive for Homework
Class Google Drive Folder
This is where you'll upload your homework. I will create the folders for projects and exercises and anything else like reading or viewing responses. Please create a folder for yourself with the following format: LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME just so that I can see who has uploaded once at a glance before or during class.
Communal Fonts
- "Tape Type" font
- "Tape Type" scans (this is one big .zip file with folders for "color" and "gray" they are all 300 dpi .tiff files)
