I found this site while looking to brush up on some theories That I felt I needed a refresher on (its been more than a few years since I've been out of school).

I feel like I am back in school in the best ways - inspired and enthusiastic!Marc Is My Hero!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17250261988710924558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-30346124381736422742011-04-18T15:26:03.112-04:002011-04-18T15:26:03.112-04:00On the subject of maquettes
