Week 19: 1/25 - 1/29
Monday - January 25th: Today we start our first contest, the Doodle 4 Google contest. See the information and details below! This is due Friday, January 29th.
See the link to the contest below. We will review this in class, but you are responsible to review the contest requirements. We will be submitting them online.
This year’s Doodle 4 Google theme is:
“I AM STRONG BECAUSE...”
Strength isn’t only about how fast you can run or how many pushups you can do – it’s also about the strength inside of you.
How do you rise above troubles and keep moving forward in tough times? When you make mistakes or get scared, what helps you clear the clouds above your head? When people around you are feeling down, how do you use your inner strength to lift them up?
Our theme this year invites you to tell us what makes you uniquely strong.

Week 9: 11/2 - 11/6
Personal Brand Logo Project
Tuesday - November 3rd: DUE - ?
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.
