I've done a wide variety of stuff for my design courses at ITT. And, because I'm strangely too ashamed to post them on dA, but have no problem waving them around here, I'll share them.
This looks so cheesy to me, but it was what the final project last semester called for. The Visual Communications majors in the school were making a big poster of all the projects they designed through the semester and the final one to tack on was a coat of arms design for our major. I went overboard with it, I think.
Our instructor derailed her original lesson plan for the morning due to the news of MJ's passing the day before the class. We made tribute posters instead and hung them up around the school. I think someone stole mine and several others. >:/
