Useful for Creative iMedia R094 One side has an example of how a visual identity can be analysed, the other has space for students to do their own. PDF version for printing (ideally to A3)] Used for cover myself so far but will use for teaching next year too! You choose the topic for the logo so it can be used as a template for practice.

A way to track goals students set at the start of the lesson Useful in coursework/NEA lessons where it is a long period of time without teacher input

The first sheet in my Adobe Audition series The PDF file is printable and helps students to understand the types of audio files that they could use in Adobe Audition then gives them some activities to complete to consolidate their knowledge.

The aim of the resource is for students to learn how to comment upon a visual identity using the logo to help them. Then they could use these ideas when designing their own visual identity in the NEA As well as the PDF version which can be filled in with a PDF reader, an editable presentation is included so you can add other logos e.g. school one or blank ones for the students to do themselves.
