The Creative Process model

At least a dozen GCOM student attended the Hugh Dubberly lecture and Sac State last week. The reviews we've received were glowing.

Everyone who went said how happy they were that they did, and found it truly inspiring.

Dubberly's firm has created a beautiful poster modeling the Creative Process. The students who attended each got a copy, but you can all download the PDF online.
