at least three logos that demonstrate that principle
Design Principles

What You'll Learn
Jigsaw
Design principles
Color theory (just a rehash)
Color management
Photoshop: understanding vector and bitmap graphics, using swatches, painting, drawing lines, drawing and modifying shapes, creating vector masks, using selection tools,adding text to images, outputting for web, print and video
Illustrator: creating vector artwork, using Image Trace to convert photos to vector, artwork, drawing lines, painting, drawing and modifying shapes, using gradients
I am going to assign each of you a design principle to learn about.
You will research what the design principle is and write a short definition and explanation of the principle. Also, find at least three logos that demonstrate that principle.
When you're done, I will put you in groups. Each group will have at least one person from each of the design principle groups.
Each person in the group will then teach the other group members about their design principle.
Everyone is responsible for taking notes and learning about each principle.
Summative Assessment
Students will plan, create, and build a logo for use in other publications, such as business cards, menus, or advertisements.
Essential Questions
How do companies use their logos to identify themselves and set up brands?
