The first two years of ASU's graphic design program teach you the rules, one concept at a time, with a lot of it done physically before it ever goes near a screen. Working by hand forces a level of attention to detail that is easy to skip when just working on a screen. What I didn't realize until my senior year is that all of it was building toward something, that you can't meaningfully break a rule until you've internalized why it exists. These are some of my favorites of these formative projects.
