I cannot believe how fast this first week went! Graphic Design is off to a good start. Students started off with a research project learning about the disciplines and history of graphic design. The students then started learning about identity design. We practiced through the design process first, then used the process to help up get started with our logo project.
Students are creating a logo for an imaginary graphic design business that uses their initials. We talked about logo design, looked at many examples, then started sketching ideas on paper. Students will be finishing their sketches and will have a final drawing that they will turn in Monday after the weekend.
Once we turn in our work we will take some time to become familiar with the software we will be using this term. Because of the short amount of time, and a majority of our projects will be raster images, we will use primarily Adobe Photoshop CC. It is not the best for logo use, but it will be better for our projects we are working on down the road.
Once we are comfortable with the software, students will be able to create their logo in digital form, then will post to their online portfolios.
