Archie Boston’s F U Lecture

After teaching for 33 years, Archie Boston is retiring. And this is his final lecture.
The man who has been the brains behind CSULB’s Graphic Design program for the past few decades is retiring. And it’s sure to be an eventful lecture. Unfortunately, there will not be a webcast of it so if you’re not there, too bad.
If you would like to attend this lecture, there’s more info for you here. it’s totally free you’ll just have to fight for a seat with alumni.
in progress poster for my History of Graphic Design class. it’s due tomorrow. my movement is Bauhaus. i feel like it’s missing something.
