Publish Your Creation For Feedback
It is really important for you to be able to share your creations and receive feedback on your work so that you can feel proud and push your own thinking. Something really special happens when you are able to see each other’s work and comment on that work.
Reflect on Each Others Logos
Glance over each other’s creations in a “Gallery” walk. Look at each other’s creations and provide feedback:
- What Glowed (worked)?
- Where is some room for growth – provide specific ideas of how it can grow – this should be very practical advice.
Open your Google document from Tuesday, add your favorite personal logo and answer the following questions:
- Does your logo use the requirements of the assignment?
- What does the logo you created say about you?
- What did you include in the logo to make it personal?
- Is your logo design simple? Describe why.
- Is your personal logo design authentic to who you are? Describe why.
- Is your personal logo memorable and timeless? Describe why.
When you are finished creating a post log, download your favorite creation as a JPEG file and add it to the assignment and Padlet (link is found at Google classroom). You will use your logo design to create a brand in another activity.
