Adv Graphic Design (term 2) wrapping up our work

Students are still working on their term-long projects and are meeting with me for their conferences to see how the projects are going.  Next week will be the last week that is entirely dedicated for project assembling.  We will then be spending time in class creating our physical products (if they want to work for an A).  The following weeks will then be putting together our portfolios, writing our reflections, and doing our final critiques of our work.

graphic design (term 2) layout and environmental designs

Graphic design students have been busy working on their layout designs.  We learned some elements of layouts and applied it to a minimalist movie poster, a magazine cover, and a sports playing surface.  Students put in some good practice and have some nice designs.

Next week we will be learning about environmental design.  We will look at some examples of where we see layout design, then students will find examples displayed in our building.  We will then create a design that we will apply to an area that can use environmental designs.

We are getting down to the final few weeks of class, so it is important to stay on top of our work and be as productive in class as possible.  Be sure to end the term on a positive note!
