Graphics 11: Personal logo

These personal logos are the result of a really in depth project for which grade 11 design students deconstructed letterforms, developed them, combined them together to form logos - all by hand. They scanned the images and loaded them into Adobe Illustrator where they used the Live Trace and Live paint functions to develop them further.  There was a lot of exploration, development and experimentation going on, as demonstrated by the wide variety of designs resulting. I'm really pleased with the results and super proud of the students for the patience, determination creativity and independence that I requested/demanded of them right off the bat.

Graphics 10: Patterns

A Graphics 10 project that asked them to take simple paper collages and, through the magic of photoshop, develop them complex repeated patterns.  Love these.

Graphics 11: Pictograms

One of my favourite projects:  Pictograms by the grade 11's.  These are built in Illustrator primarily using the shape-builder tool; a project that asks them to consider the communicative power of images.  Topic: ridiculous rules.

Graphics Design 12: Logo Design

Graphics Design 12: Logo Design 

A senior design project to develop your own logo as a designer.  Emphasis on process takes another step forward in our grade 12 class in which we expect students to rigorously develop ideas and imagery and, similar to a math class, SHOW YOUR WORK!
