- E-Policy: When working on the computer it is your responsibility to stay on task. In the lab, the myriad opportunities, responsibilities, and distractions of the digital world are at your fingertips. You must resist. In other words, no internet exploration that is not directly related to graphic studio project research, and absolutely no e mail, instant messaging, text messaging, phone usage, headphone usage or work from other classes without permission.
- Meet all deadlines & Produce your best work. Deadlines are a major part of a designer’s job.
- Designated class hours are intended for graphic studio work, discussion, and critique. Your ideas and your designs will thrive in an atmosphere of open interchange, so: have fun, share your ideas and your opinions, respectfully. Behavior issues can influence your grade. These include active engaged participation in critiques and discussion, attendance, and timeliness. As a participant in this class you are expected to attend all classes. Class participation includes contributing to discussions and critique of your own and others’ work, as well as diligently working on your own projects during the class period.
- Students are responsible for seeking help when needed. Students who need special accommodations are responsible for working with the instructor and the relevant school offices.
- You are expected to be attentive during class, ask questions if you do not understand something, and to offer your opinion. You are also expected to listen respectfully to other students and your instructor when speaking. Racism, sexism, homophobia, ageism and other forms of bigotry are inappropriate forms of expression in this class.
- By participating in this course and submitting your work electronically, you agree to grant us world-wide reproduction rights. You will not be paid a reproduction fee or license. You will retain the full right to use and reproduce the work in any context, and you will retain copyright to your work.
- Murphy’s Law: If anything can go wrong, it will. Be prepared for many technical difficulties: computer crashes, data loss, printer out of ink, dead batteries, etc. If you expect and plan for disaster (the worst case scenario), you will always stay one step ahead of trouble. ALWAYS make a backup copy of your media and ongoing class work. It is YOUR responsibility to maintain and supply backup copies if needed. Backing up your files: Losing work due to failed media or overwritten files is not an excuse in the industry. You are expected to have an effective backup strategy for all of your files. While working, it is good habit to save your work frequently. You never know when there could be a power outage while you are in the middle of working on a project.

- If your phone is not in the cell phone parking lot and is causing a distraction from work in class, you will be directed to “park” your phone and you may pick it up after class.
- Students who do not comply or have repeated requests to park their phones will have their phones “towed.” A “towed” phone will be stored in the teacher’s desk and will be turned into the office at the end of the day. If a student refuses to hand over their phone to be towed, the student will be referred to the office.
