The Digital Salon accepted works from students made in both Fall 2013 and Spring 2014 semesters. Many of the projects were created in a course, like Comm Arts 155: Intro to Digital Media Production or Journalism 417: Magazines & Magazine Editing, but students could also submit work created independently. Work might include experimental videos, animations, graphic essays, websites, blogs, multimedia installations, posters, and more. Students are encouraged to be creative and innovative!

The Digital Salon stays true to its name by showcasing submissions online at UW Digital Salon 2014. Works will also be exhibited in College Library‘s Open Book Cafe from April 6th until April 12th.
