Brainstorming!

Where do ideas come from?

We will be talking about this today and trying it out.

A Message for Wood County Foster Care

First off – the panel was overwhelmed by the creativity and the time your students put into the project for us! We loved so many of the designs the students created! We had a really hard time deciding which to use. We actually have still only narrowed it down to two logo’s.

There were so many great ideas, the designs and sayings, that we would like to be able to utilize them within the future. At this time, the two I attached, we are looking to move forward using right away. We were wondering if it possible to make two slight changes. We were wondering if for the “Love Share-Foster Care” design, if Nou could add in “Wood County Foster Care” above or below her design. And on the second one, we wondered if the student could adjust the second half of the heart (top/right side) to be in the color red?

Congratulations!!!! Great Work Everyone!!!

Go to brusheezy.com to find interesting brushes for creating texture for layers. Picture brushes such as Spongebob Squarepants are not appropriate for this assignment.

Download brushes from brusheezy.com. Thursday we will learn more about using them.
