If you ever have a chance to take a workshop from Gerald Brommer, you must take advantage of the opportunity. He keeps things clear, simple and insightful. I have put together a slide show of all the student work today. Every one is excellent, interesting and different. These are the two I created today. The first followed some very specific directions to create movement toward the focal point. The second we were free to create our own design with the same goal in mind but more individual placement of light and dark shapes.
If you can't make a Brommer workshop, his books are the next best thing. I have two books on college that he wrote. Both are favorites of mine.

(be sure and click on the "x" to get rid of those stupid pet things if it shows up on the slide show. I have no control over that appearing with the slide show. They must have paid Slide.com big bucks to stick it on every slide show!)
