Form a critical response to the new Rhode Island Tourism logo and/or campaign. Your response can be any media and take any form (and should not necessarily be a logo or campaign).
Meet in small groups to discuss and form a point of view, and then work collaboratively or individually to execute your critical response.
Post your work by 5:00 on the second floor for a walkabout immediately following.
