From Marvel Movies News –Moon Girl’s Mentors:
“
Over the course of her adventures, Lunella Lafayette has met quite a few of the Marvel Universe’s most famous players. Most recently, we’ve seen her teaming up with the X-Men.

It’s hard to overstate the influence of the Bauhaus on all fields of design, not just graphic design. As Sean says in his introduction, “after watching the course you will never look at a piece of furniture, poster, lamp, or any modern object in the same way again.” Here’s the official course description: To move forward as a designer, sometimes you have to take a step back.

Its revolutionary concepts – centered on simplicity, quality, truth in materials, and form…”
