Jules and Toni,
ReplyDeleteWe found your presentation to be very entertaining, and you included some great examples of your concept. The way you explained the effectiveness of your concepts was very clear and it helped us understand your concept (and our own!) even better. Your rationale for the examples also was very well written and explained well. When talking about how the concept affected people today, you guys did an awesome job of explaining it and we feel that you did an awesome job on this project.
Great work!
