Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

By creating a self-published set of volumes that will function as promotional material, I will develop a business skill in support of my professional work. Business skills can be measured by the successful creation of a promotional packet. 2: The work will be exhibited at one of the featured malls and the publication will be completed. These outcomes will be verified if the work is completed, documented, framed, displayed, seen by the public during exhibition and self-published. Viewer comments will help me evaluate the project.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Ms. Briggs developed a business skill in support of her professional work by working on a design for a set of small books that will be used as promotional materials. 2: The exhibition venue was changed and will occur outside the grant contract period at the Hosmer Library. The print design is nearly finished.
