Gestalt roughly translates from German as “shape,” and it is the proper name given to this account of perception. Gestalt has been a central tenet of graphic design for the last 100 years, or approximately as long as the discipline has existed.When design is employed to the careful manipulation of the relationships between distinct visual forms, a synthesis can be realized, with a corresponding multiplier effect to the power of that graphic form to contain and carry meaning.

You have been working on Assignment #3 Reduce, Reuse, Recycle for the last weeks and it is now time to present your work. You will each, as concisely as possible, present your work as a narrated slide talk of no more than 6 minutes. This is *extremely* fast, but entirely possible. If you know what you have to say and show, I am certain you can do it in this amount of time. The critics will then offer some thoughts on what you have done for the following 5 minutes. 

The presentation order was organized randomly. Here it is:
1. Savannah
2. Chanbin
3. Collin
4. Andy
5. Jessica
6. Keeren
7. Larkin
8. Jorge
9. Sam
10. Julia
11. Alvaro
12. Jean
