Major Project The Yin Yang Balance Project Book:  In this campaign project book “The Yin Yang Balance” I  included many different media asset types. In pursuing the requirements for The Masters of Fine Arts in Media Design I wanted to explore the autism spectrum and dolphin therapy so that I could continue to gather insight on autism.
