From Cubicle to Classroom

In Design & Multimedia, we are currently preparing for a big networking event at the end of this month. The students will be presenting their design portfolios to various non-profits and businesses in the county. In order to prepare, we started with our own personal logos. I love witnessing the students explore their own interests and each student's design is always so unique. Their personalities definitely shine through in their logos. Today, our librarians helped us turn these logos into our own buttons.

As I have said before, students love a challenge. In this one, students randomly select a specific Pantone color and an animal (we draw out of cups). Students are required to illustrate this animal using only tints of their Pantone color. (Silhouettes are not allowed.) This activity encourages students to explore realistic definition using percentages of just one color. Again, it is also further strengthening their pen tool skills. I have yet to share that there is even a "live trace" option in Illustrator. The foundation of a successful designer is one that can master the pen tool.
