Hello, I have tomorrow meeting with Estonian Academy of Arts ( http://www.artun.ee/index.php?lang=eng) people regarding to the one design project which I'm running. Cause I will meet with thesis supervisiors, project managers, etc. I believe it is no problem to me ask if there is any possibilities to involve students into this logo design project aswell!? Or what the others think?
