8th grade Grad Cover designs

Lakeview 8th grade art students are working on the final stages of the Graduation Cover Designs for the Class of 2008.



They are moving from pencil roughs to finished black and white final layouts based on contrast and emphasis. Student artists are using pictorial and graphic symbols in the production of their cover design.



In addition,students have viewed a video on Careers in Graphic Arts and have seen the real world application of advertising arts and marketing an idea.



Students are also incorporating their creative use of slogans or a line of copy to reinforce the theme or mood of their cover design. Next week we will continue with the study of typography and the relationship of type to an idea.
