This project involved creating a bulletin board in the residence hall that would showcase something useful to the residents. It would stay up for a month.
The reason behind making the bulletin board is a place to put information as well as it being something decorative on the walls of the hall.
The board reads:

The inspiration for this board comes from many small things I noticed about Baldwin Wallace in the four years I was there.
I planned the board using InDesign.
I punched out the title and then determined what I wanted to write on the board. Then I created QR codes for the websites I wanted to reference.
I would have printed out the content but we were not allowed that at the time I wanted to, so I wrote all of it on the paper. Then I put it up on the board.
