Dedicated to:

My parents, who have shown an incredible amount of
patience with me through the years;
 
My great friend Raphael, whose smarts and kindness had
helped me adopt to the new life in the States;
 
My dear friend Adam, so unfairly taken from this world
at too young an age. Gone, but not forgotten.

Special thanks to:

My girlfriend Carolyn, for her constant support and love;
 
The entire Graphic Design department - teachers and
students alike, for the three great years;
 
Jan Almquist for his intellectual challenges, his ability
to suggest the smallest changes that make all the difference,
and his willingness to be understanding.
