First timers to the forum?
Why do I have a feeling part of this assignment here is to “get advice” for something.
There is a welcome sticky here:
https://www.graphicdesignforum.com/t/welcome-to-gdf/851
But it does look like our FAQ is indeed missing. Or at least not under Forum Rules and FAQ, where one would expect it to be. 
Maybe we need to write a post for all you students “seeking advice” too, LOL!
