Description
Go behind the scenes with the DDC and learn about Aaron’s process for creating marks, logos and more. Each student will attack a logo on their own with guidance from Aaron.

The workshop will be three hours, and refreshments will be provided. Computers provided, but you're welcome to bring a laptop. Be sure to bring some Field Notes, a pencil and an iron will. Exciting DDC door prizes to all who attend.
