Have you ever needed cheering up in school? Have you
ever arrived in school in a bad mood? This happens to all of us from time
to time.
The logo/symbol below has been designed to encourage pupils to make each
other smile. The logo/symbol is a little dated and needs to be modernised. |
| |
 |
| |
Study the existing symbol/logo (above). Do you consider
it to be outdated or unsuitable? YES/NO
Explain you answer. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| |
| Produce two rough versions of a new suitable
symbol/logo to encourage pupils to make each other smile. Add notes
explaining each design especially how each one could be further improved. |
| |
SUGGESTIONS:
Keep your designs simple with the minimum of words / text.
Use no more than two/three colours and consider using bright colours as
these are proven to gain the attention of young children. |
| |
 |
| |
|
| |
| Select your best design and produce a final colour
rendered version. Use either felt pens, coloured pencils, ink pens,
crayons or a combination of all. |
| |
|
|
| |
 |
Manufacture a composite card version of your design.
Build up layers of coloured card and add text with ink pens / felt pens.
Glue the layers of card using a suitable adhesive. |
| |
| 1. Cut the layers of coloured card and glue together
using a gel type glue or a spray glue. Do not use a liquid glue or the
card will ‘buckle’ and become misshapen. |
| |
 |
| |
2. Use ink pens and coloured pencils to add text /
words.
Consider using ICT / computer software. For instance, print out the text
directly on to coloured card and then cut out the shapes. |
