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.
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.
Made to accompany my YouTube video at https://youtu.be/3mPZDdN_t7Q
Two sides with 10 tips to prepare and repurpose assets
Useful for Creative iMedia in particular (R082/R085/R087/R094/R097)
Little activity that uses quite a few tools!
Would be useful if students had some knowledge but not a requirement!
It may be worth showing them the pen tool/pointing them to my YouTube channel if they find the sheet tricky!
Includes supporting presentation with a starter actitivity (creating one quickly in Paint), quick explanation of bitmap and vector and then a preview of what they will make. Also includes the video which is available on YouTube.
