2019 term 1: week 7: Infographics & Layout

This term is flying by!  Graphic design students worked on infographics this week as we discussed copyright laws.  Next week, we will be learning components of an effective layout.  We will create a magazine cover, movie poster, and also school-themed posters.

2019 term 1: week 6: more typography

Graphic design students have been learning appropriate ways to use typefaces and text styles to enhance the story that their images are telling.  Next week we will be working with creative text effects, and students will then be creating their own type-face to use.  Hard to believe we are over half way done with the term already!!

2019 term 1: week 5: typography

Students have finished their section about branding.  I think the classes all have a good idea of how important it is to have a consistent identity with companies.  We are going to move along to typography and the study of how to use various styles of text and type-faces with our work to help better tell our visual stories.  Next week we are also having parent-teacher-conferences!  It's going to be a great week!

2019 term 1: week 4: Branding Guides

Graphic design has turned in their logo designs for their summative assessments and overall did a very nice job!!  Next week, we will continue working on our business stationery, then will learn how to create a consistent brand with an identity standard or branding guide.  We have been off to a great start!  Let's keep it rolling!!!
