We will enter into some new and uncharted territory for Graphic Design 1. This is going to be heaps of fun for everyone involved that participates in the first ever DESIGN-O-RAMA, a graphic design game.
The purpose of this game is to link together the skills you have with Adobe Illustrator and learn about some different design techniques such as utilizing white space, alignment, balance, unity, and grids.
Here is how we will play:
Each person will gather and place some design elements into a folder. The folders will be placed on the server. Each player will then draw a folder at random and will need to design some thing that utilizes all of the design elements in the folder.
This will be a fast paced design challenge that will allow you to work within some constraints and also allow for some collaboration.
Here is how to get started....
Create a folder on your desktop. Label the folder with your Last Name only. You will have one period to gather some design elements to place in the folder. Consider there should be some connection between the design elements you gather.
Place the following design elements into the folder:
*Make sure images and text that you choose are school appropriate (nothing naughty that may reference sex, drugs, or booze anything else you wouldn't hang on your refrigerator at home)
After you have all of the files listed above in a folder drag and drop the folder on to the graphic server. There is a folder titled "DESIGN-O-RAMA" for each class period.
