2018 term 2: week 3: Identity Design, Branding, & Projects

Here is where we are at for graphic design 1 and 2 this third week of the term.

Graphic Design 1:  Students have finished up demonstrating their ability to use the design process.  Students created the digital version of their logos, then posted them to their online portfolios along with their reflections on what they have learned.  Students will next learn about branding and using consistent identities.  We will create some business stationery/promotional materials for our imaginary companies using our logos as the focus.  We will then put together a branding guide or identity standard.

Graphic Design 2:  Students are finished with their proposals and timelines.  Many students have turned in their project boards.  We will be sure all of our project boards are in by the end of this week, and will start working on our projects.  Students will also meet with me individually explaining to me their progress and letting me know their thoughts on how things are going.
