“I SHOW KINDNESS BY...”
Friendship, smiles, thank yous, and hugs.
But kindness is so much more than just being nice. This year’s theme invites you to tell us how you show kindness. Is it by helping around your home? Volunteering in your community’s green space? Maybe it’s comforting someone who’s down, or picking up trash in the park.
However you define it, let us know how you bring a little bit more kindness into the world. Take your ideas and bring them to life in your doodle!
This is the Doodle 4 Google 2019 - US Winner

Week 20: 1/27 - 1/31
Friday - January 31st:
Today we will learn about one of my favorite designers, Aaron Draplin. While we watch 3 videos as a class, create a document and answer the questions below: (you will submit the answers to these questions.)
- How would Aaron Draplin describe his work and what he does?
- According to Aaron, how does he think his work has evolved through the years?
- What is his take on current design trends?
- What inspires him and keeps him going?
- How important is collaboration in his work process?
- According to Aaron, what would be his best advice to upcoming designers?
Part 2 – Creating a design brief and doing the research – Now that you have decided on the type of company, its products and services, who is the competition out there that already exists? What do those logos look like and are they effective? Who are your companies customers? What is the age range of your customer? Where will they find your business? Online or offline? Describe why. The more you know about your business, its products and services (and the believe in them) the more you can offer a solution to your client. A logo is usually the first thing that they will see. How will you grab their attention with your companies visual identity? (this is just brainstorming - you do not need to submit anything for this part.)
Part 3 – Sketch and development. We have already watched Draplin’s video about sketching, but the video is included below for your reference. He has a great style and technique for the process. Create a series of sketches in pencil. You will need a minimum of 10 logo sketches. (submit 10 sketches)
Part 4 - Finally, you will create your new companies logo in Illustrator. Choose the logo that best represents your description from part one. (submit the final Illustrator logo).
**We will be using Adobe Illustrator for this project from start to finish.
Below are the videos we watched in class if you need to remind yourself about what we learned today in class.

Personal Brand Logo Project
Friday - November 22nd: DUE - DECEMBER 4TH.
We are going to embark on our first major project in Illustrator - Creating your own, personal brand logo. This project will involve research, design, and instruction. The entire project is worth 150 points and will NOT be completed in 1 day. You will be graded on the practice activity, content of your research paper, the sketches and creation of your logo, the written step by step guidelines that you create to teach someone else how to duplicate your logo, and the recreation of your logo from your peer that used your guidelines. You will need to be thorough and specific throughout the entire process in order to be successful on this assignment. I want excellence rather than speed on this project so take your time and show me what you can do! Good luck - I know that we are going to see and learn some amazing things through this project!
:) Some things that you should keep in mind as we begin:
1. This logo should represent who you are as a person
2. Looking at the completed logo we should have a better understanding of what is important to you.
3. This must be an original design!
4. The plan is to put these on T-shirts.

Step 1: Practice
1. Watch the video on your own, taking notes as you go. (use headphones)
Have your illustrator open, stop the video as needed.
2. Create the logo that the video teaches you. There are many different steps that you will need to complete in order to recreate the logo from the video.
3. Save as a JPG. Print and submit as part of your project packet.
***I'm including a picture of the final logo that you are creating so that you have some idea of what direction you are heading with this assignment. Some of this is review, but you will learn some valuable techniques in creating a logo.

Step 2: Research
Using MLA Format...YES MLA format
You will complete a minimum 2 page research paper regarding copyright infringement. You will answer a series of questions in paper format. This means real paragraphs. A numbered paper with typed out questions and responses will NOT be accepted. You will need to answer the questions in paragraph format as if writing a research paper. The questions are designed to prompt you regarding the objective of the paper. The following question should get you started, but please don't limit yourself to answering just these questions:

- Define copyright infringement to logo designs
- What is not able to be copyrighted in design?
- What does the circled C do for you and do you need to include it on your logo/work?
- What do you need to prove if you want to sue a copycat?
- Whys is logo ownership important?
- Who owns logo design? The client or the designer?
Step 3: Brainstorming
You will sketch ideas for your logo - this should be a hand sketched project, no technology should be used. It may be in pencil, pen or color, but it must be your original sketch. We are going to be using the thumbnail strategy discussed in the video to the right. 16 thumnail sketeches will be required and you will need to follow the 5 steps discussed in the video when creating your thumbnail sketches. |
|
Step 4: Creation, Explaination & Recreation
You will design your logo in Illustrator. You will be required to keep a step by step documented record of your logo process. At the end of the project you will give your step by step instructions to a peer and they will have to recreate your logo using only your written instructions. Visual aids will not be allowed. You will submit the logo that your peer created following your step-by-step instructions with the rest of your assignment.

* I must approve your tutorial, so see me when you think you have selected a skill to teach. Please follow these guidelines below.
A. FOLLOW THE RUBRIC....after you've read the rubric then proceed to step #2.
B. Try to be realistic...your tutorial shouldn't take 6 weeks to master. Find something challenging, but manageable. Face Swap is always a popular one. First come first serve.
C. Ask your classmates or see me to see if any of them have chosen the same tutorial. You may not do the same thing to teach to each other.
2. Complete the project and MASTER the skill. You must be able to show the class how to do the skill and answer questions about it as well.
3. Teach the class how to do your chosen project without using the original tutorial.
* You will get in front of class and use the teacher computer and projectors to show your skill to the class.
* You will take the class from start to finish and answer their questions as you go.
* When choosing your lesson, remember that your classmates need to be able to complete it in 1 single class. (2 hours)
* You must have a handout for your peers and Mr. Philip as a guideline for your skill.
You will be graded on:
1. The original product that you complete using the tutorial (using the Photoshop assignment rubric)
2. The lesson you give in class (remember this needs to be able to be completed in 1 class session)
3. The handout you create for your classmates.
4. The difficulty of the skill. If you choose to show us how to create a line you will struggle on this project.
Challenge yourself and your classmates and remember REVIEW THE RUBRIC!
I am attaching some links as resources for Photoshop tutorials, but remember to verify that the tutorial you choose is Adobe CC 2018. You may find your own resource, but these links will at least give you a place to start. Click on the buttons below to be directed to the links.
