And take special note of the pervasive color scheme. LOL.

Remembering Brainstorm

Back in May, at the end of the Spring semester, GCOM hosted our annual Brainstorm Student Design Showcase. It was and excellent event full of amazing student work. And now, after 4 months, we're finally getting around to publishing some photos!

Join our GCOM@SCC Facebook group and check them out.

(And let's take this opportunity to thank Sean Brainerd and his two stellar student Jessica Blizzard and Ali Gerriets on all the work they put into this event.)
