Master Path & Peer Feedback


Work on your tracing until 8:10.

Next:
You will need your sketches:
  • Look through your sketches and find a design that meets the following criteria:
    • clear message about the type of business-Graphic Design for this assignment (required for full credit).
    • eye catching
    • memorable
  • You will have 20 minutes on the Master Path (Master Path-defined as a black on white design used by graphic designers to create collection of designs based on the same logo) .
    • Open an Illustrator document set to 8.5" x 11"
    • Select a font close to the sketch you have chosen.
    • Set the type size to 200 pt
    • Type out your letters (don't not drag out a text box. Simply click and type) and apply create outlines once the spelling is double checked. A tracing is another option using a scan and the pen tool.
    • Move the anchor points to reshape the letters to fit your design. 
    • Move the letters to the position that you want using the direct selection arrow (the white one)

  • Gallery Walk Activity
    • Working with your row of 3 to 4 rowmates (the 5 students closest to the walls will work together), leave out a piece of paper to give advice to each rowmate on the following topics:
      • Clarity of the business message (does it tell you they are a graphic designers?)
      • Is the arrangement dynamic? (Explain why or why not. If not, what do you recommend?)
      • Is it a black on white typographic logo? (explain the changes needed to improve the design)
  • Make adjustments based on the feedback from the Gallery Walk and be sure to save your work into your H drive.
The remaining time can be spent on the tracing and the tracing game from yesterday.
