Personal Brand Logo Project
Tuesday - December 3rd:
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.

1. Find a tutorial for Illustrator that you can do from start to finish. (remember to choose Illustrator Adobe CC 2018)
* Challenge yourself and try something new!
* This tutorial should teach us all something new.
* Remember to watch the entire tutorial to make sure it is something you can actually MASTER and TEACH!
* Once you have selected a tutorial you need to run it by me for approval BEFORE you begin working on it.
Remember:
1. FOLLOW THE RUBRIC....after you've read the rubric then proceed to step #2.
2. Try to be realistic...your tutorial shouldn't take 6 weeks to master. Find something challenging, but manageable.
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 thru.
* When choosing your lesson, remember that your classmates need to be able to complete it in 1 single class.
* 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 Illustrator 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!
Remember to verify that the tutorial you choose is Adobe CC.
