| The we work developed for the N;uyorican is a prime example of how to work on a shoesring budget for a non-profit. Much of the reason for the abundance of black and white in these pieces was because it was simply cheaper to print that way. With the advent of digital printing, we fortunately have other options! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
