It was an excellent 7th Annual Winter Gala! We played Atari tournaments, watched Pixar films and celebrated everything Apple, while showcasing the design work of New Design School students. Attendees chose their favorite design for the People's Choice Award. Zach Williams, a second year student, won with his font Soft Serve.
