ASCD Logo

This was our first of many logo projects this year. A company called ASCD wanted a new logo. They asked our teacher if she could get her students to make a new one. They wanted the same font for the letters 'ASCD' and they also wanted the word 'Manitoba' put on their logo. ASCD is a company that makes curriculums for schools and other things. So my first thought was to put a book or binder into the logo. By putting the book into the logo, it symbolizes that ASCD is all about learning, but it also symbolizes that there are lots of opportunities to be opened with ASCD. I made this logo using Illustrator. 

Bud Spud and Steak

For this project, we were asked to design a ticket for the KEC Football team's Bud Spud and Steak fundraiser. They gave us all the information we needed to put on it, and told us to come up with whatever we could think of. I wanted to make my ticket look fun, but also have a football look. I used big, bold fonts and made the word 'STEAK' stick out a lot. I also made the '&' symbol coming off the bottom half so the ticket had more depth to it. I put on a picture of a guy playing football to bring it all together. I made this using Illustrator.

Information Handbook

For our first project of Grade 12, we have to design a new look for next years KEC Student Handbook. It took me a while to think of what I wanted to do. I had lots of ideas, but I didn't really like any of them. One day, when I was looking at clothes, I saw an argyle sweater and got an idea. I made the background argyle and added in some smaller argyle patterns in the corners to bring it all together. In one middle diamond I put a picture of a statue in front of our school, that all the grad kids sign. Then I added some text, and picked colours that would blend nicely. I did this using InDesign and Photoshop.

Kite

This was my favorite project. I told my teacher I wanted to do something outside, so we could enjoy the warm weather. She came up with this. We made kites! We had to follow instructions, making a kite out of paper, and then draw a picture on our kite. I choose to draw an evil octopus. After we drew the picture, we had to get dowels and set tape the on to the back to make our kite more kite-like. Then we had to attach tails. After we finished making our kites, we took them outside to see if they could fly! Mine did!

Brochures

This project was a lot of fun. We had to choose an event and a product and make a brochure about them. We also had to make a portfolio brochure. We were allowed to fold them anyway we wanted, so it was excited trying to think of new creative ways to fold the brochures. I made the brochures in Indesign and most of the pictures in Photoshop. The biggest challenge of this project was printing them. We had to set up the printers so that they would print properly on both sides without having one side backwards. It was a great project.

Magazine Layout

For this project, I had to choose a magazine article and then design the layout for it. I made it in Indesign.

Magazine Ads

For this project, we had to make 3 magazine ads. We were given 2 objects, and were allowed to choose whatever we wanted for the third one. I was given Discount Store, Magazine, and I chose eggs for my third one. Here is one of them. (I don't know why it is coming out blue, it's supposed to be brown.)
