Semester 1 Project Info:

Project 3: Values Poster Design

You will need to create a poster design that represents a value that is most important to you. You don’t need to think literally about the design. For example, if you decided to design or courage, what could represent that value visually? Maybe it is abstract or maybe you use imagery that would represent that value. 

​

How to get started:

1. Think about a time when you were happy. What were you doing? Why were you happy?

2. Think about a time you were proud. What made you feel proud?

 

In your proposal, you will need to create a list of 5 important values that you hold. 

​

Project 2: Street Art Inspired Design

You will need to create a design inspired by street art, whatever that means to you. Review the Street Art slides and video if you need help brainstorming. Use photos from our photography trip in your brainstorming if that helps.
