NPHS graphic design 1: term 3: week 3: stationery

Graphic design students have finished their first projects, which was to make a logo using their initials.  This was to meet our standard CIS.HS.1.11: Identify project's message and mission.  The students did a very nice job, especially for it being their first project, and being new to the design process.  Here are a few samples of some logos they put together that I really liked.

The next step we are going to work towards is creating an identity for this logo.  We will be paying attention to styles, colors, type-face, etc.  Students will be using the identity they create to design a set of business stationery.  They will make an 8.5 x 11 in. letterhead, a 9.5 x 4.125 in. envelope, and a business card (sizes on this one may vary, but a popular size is 2 x 3.5 in).  Students have researched ideas that they like, then will start sketching ideas and will get into groups to collaborate and critique ideas that they have come up with.    I can't wait to see how they turn out!
