Create & Communicate – Logo Design & Messaging

Unleash your students’ creativity with this exciting and engaging 5-lesson scheme of work that fuses graphic design, branding, and communication skills into one dynamic project. Create & Communicate empowers students to craft meaningful messages and bring them to life through eye-catching logos. Ideal for KS3, this scheme is designed to boost confidence, foster digital and visual literacy, and develop real-world design skills.

Students will explore the power of messaging in media, examine iconic logos, and discover how colours, fonts, and shapes communicate values and emotions. They’ll then apply their knowledge by designing their own logos and taglines to represent a cause, business, or campaign of their choice.

Included is a beautifully structured, student-friendly booklet packed with guided activities, design tips, space for drafts and reflections, and assessment checklists. Each lesson builds logically toward a final presentation, encouraging creativity, critical thinking, and independence.

Whether you teach art, ICT, or design & technology, this versatile scheme will captivate your class and leave them with something they can be proud of. A perfect way to combine practical skills with personal expression—this is more than just a design project; it’s a platform for student voice.
