Thanks a lot for your support and participation in today's digital hybrid mural workshop at the IBM Center. Some of you have told me to post today's Powerpoint onto our blog. It seems that Google blog only allow to insert image and video. So I think I will resize the file and upload it to the LMS WizLearn under a new module, Digital Hybrid Mural Workshop, and add all your names under the user list. Then you can go there to download the presentation. I will post the digital image requirement on next post for you to set up a new Photoshop file for your discrete module mural design. Also, I will send the invitation to you via Gmail for you to access the information posted on this blog. Again, thanks a lot for your time and support to this visual arts research project.
