Computer User?
Some assignments can be done on a computer. You are responsible for
having the supplies listed above, plus these three:
Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop or equivalent programs. No CAD
drawing programs. I recommend a Pen Tool if you have $100 in your
budget.
Inexpensive paper for test prints
720 dpi paper (not photo paper--just coated paper) for final projects
