Student Profile - 4th year Design Student ACAD

It's the journey not the destination that is most important - if you want to get anywhere worth getting. This truism is shown in design major Michael Matejko's process book for Delta Science Force. It is a journey worth following, not only for the process and results, but for the enjoyable 'Geek Chic' narrative he uses to guide the reader. Linked below is a pdf file of the process book, it's a 5mb file, but well worth a look.
