Year 9
Creating Logos to Represent The Faculties and Departments

Students are to get into groups of 3 and choose from given list of subjects (Group A, Group B or Group C), which logo they would like to create. 

Lesson Objective: Can I create a logo which properly reflects and represents the subject of the department I have chosen? Have I included all of the components of a logo? Is my logo MEMORABLE?

On a blank sheet of A2 paper: 

Part One:
Imagine the following subject as an image
1. Write down everything that comes into your head about that subject, making links with what you associate with the subject, (words, images, ideas etc...) 
2. Notice the similarities and differences within your ideas.
3. Collaborate with your group members on the ideas you have just come up with. Discuss those ideas and enhance which details you believe to be most important to your subject.
4. On your own, begin brainstorming and planning out your individual ideas for your logo, (think about colours, writing styles/fonts, images, symbols, and styles), in which your logo could reflect the subject you have chosen.

Part Two:
5. On the back of your A2 paper:
Create six, individual thumbnails of various logo ideas. Be sure to create different logos for the same subject, using pencil first and colouring in coloured pencil. Outline and complete your sketches.
6. Choose your personal favourite logo design, from your six thumbnail sketches.

Using PhotoShop:
Refer to the PhotoShop Tutorial In Art Talk!

Part Three:
7. Re-create and revise your initial idea.
How can you use technology to improve your original designs?
8. Submit your final design in Photoshop to your teacher. The Alperton Department you have chosen to represent will choose which logo from your group, best expresses the ideas of their faculty.

Keep In Mind,
You Are Representing
Not Only The Subject You Have Chosen, But Also Your School!

Part Two: Create, Re-visit, Observe, Reflect!

Part Three: Revise, Edit, Improve, Inspire!
Is My Logo Recognizable? Is My Logo Memorable?
