HN Graphics - Wednesday 11 October 2006

Students who had completed evaluations of each others artwork handed in typed copies. Less than 50% participated in this activity. Students were given demos by Gillian on how to enhance text in Illustrator and subsequently create text style logos for the training restaurant at Lauder and also asked to create new name for the restaurant. Subsequently students were asked to submit their creations to the Photobucket website for exhibition.

Students were also pointed in the direction of several video tutorials which would help them be more creative with their restaurant logos.

Students were also given an overview of the assessment. This assessment requires the student to create briefs for many of the tasks involved in the assessment.

Students are also arranging a trip to Dynamic Earth as a social activity and I suggested that they might wish to entwine assessment tasks with this activity.

Evaluation: Students engaged enthusiastically on logos for the restaurant. Most students appeared to watch the video tutorials and implemented the learning. Students appeared to think that assessment was very large for Graphics Unit. Many pages but actual tasks reasonably small.
