THE PROJECT: We have been discussing logotypes and typography for a couple of weeks now. It is time to put those skills to the test. We have been commissioned to create the seal for the new "Highland Honor Society." There is no prize or award for this project, but if you have your logo selected, it will likely be used at Highland High School ceremonies for years to come.

Here are the SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS regarding the creation of the logo:

• Create this in ILLUSTRATOR, using an 8 inch by 8 inch canvas. Do not use more than THREE colors, including BLACK and WHITE.
• The seal should reflect the idea of SCHOLARSHIP and ACADEMIC SUCCESS in its design.
• The seal should be formal and elegant, NOT CASUAL!
• The seal should include the words "HIGHLAND HONOR SOCIETY."
• VERY IMPORTANT: The elements of your logo should be created by hand using Adobe Illustrator. DO NOT simply steal a bunch of clip art images from the internet! You can recreate any images that you like, using the tools and techniques that we have learned in Illustrator so far!

CREATION and SUBMISSION OF THE SEAL: Graphic Design students will have until February 18th to submit a completed logo to Mr. B. PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR .AI VERSION OF THE SEAL, IN CASE ANY CHANGES NEED TO BE MADE! All completed logos will be submitted to Mrs. Rolfe for consideration.

HONOR SOCIETY SEALS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION can be seen at this "Honor Society Thinking Sheet," completed in class on the first day of this project. Please consider these in the creation of your design!

GRADING: Due to the nature of this project and the intrinsic value that this learning process will present to students, there will be no grading for credit in Graphic Design class. However, any student that submits a well-thought-out design for consideration in this campaign will automatically have their LOWEST SEMESTER GRADE dropped from the gradebook at the end of the semester. (This will not include the final examination, of course).
