COM 302 Graphics

This week, I took over Angie’s project in creating two icons for a Skill Lab and a Debriefing section for COM 302 lecture slides.

During the beta testing of the Video Manager, Poonum and Ruben asked for the creation of new icons for the video manager. Here are the original ones:

CS Graphics
