Mood boards (5 images for each keyword)

3: Process Book
Create an online forum to track your progress each week. Can be Squarespace, Wordpress, or other. This will eventually be whittled down to be your portfolio book, but for now, it will be your weekly process journal.
Each week, create a post about your progress in this class with at least 300 words and 3 images. Recommended, do the same for each of your classes.
