As a graduate of Parkland's Graphic Design program, |
JENNIFER DAVIS feels quite at home teaching. Though she is a somewhat recent grad of the graphic design program (2004), she does also have a Bachelor's degree in English and another associate's degree in Studio Art. Her philosophy is: Good design is smart design. She believes it's not important to know everything or never to be wrong; it's important to keep learning, to know how to find information, and to use design to communicate to your audience.Graphic Design |
