  2. Create a link for every in-text reference with the full reference. That way you won't need to write a bibliography in the end of the essay.

  3. Can you please find some examples other than the ones that you have. They are all from the text book. You can search the Graphic Design Museums. I gave you a big list. Your links are fine. After the presentation I would like a hard copy of the text only, not the images.
