Overview of the Project: We have been working on Canva, using our new design skills and our new AI Image generation skills. For this mini-project, you will be using both to create a nice HUSKY MASCOT LOGO for a sport or a club at Highland High School.

Getting Started: First, go to CANVA.com and log in with your SCHOOL EMAIL.You will probably want to just start a blank, square canvas, such as an INSTAGRAM POST.

The Project: You will be using AI to create a HUSKY that you will use for a Husky Mascot Logo for a team or club at Highland. For this, I highly recommend that you create a GOOGLE GEMINI GEM for "Making High School Mascots," as this might come up again in the future. I would recommend creating a GEM that does the following:

1. Creates an ILLUSTRATED GRAPHIC to represent the MASCOT of a high school.
2. Asks the name of the high school.
3. Asks the type of mascot, with descriptions, if necessary (for instance, how should a "BRUSH BEETDIGGER" be represented in the graphic?
4. Asks the school colors.
5. Asks what team or club will be represented by the mascot activity.
6. Asks what type of clothing, uniform or outfit the mascot should be wearing.
7. Asks what the mascot will be DOING in the illustration (for instance- dunking a basketball, playing a video game on a computer, etc.)

ALTERNATELY, you can simply go to Gemini's Image Creation window and put in a query. That will work, as well, but you have to be VERY SPECIFIC.

The good news is that Gemini does a pretty good of creating EXACTLY what you ask for and can even handle NUMBERS and LETTERS! For example, here is a prompt that I entered to get a cartoon image of a cartoon Husky basketball player. NOTICE THE DETAIL IN MY QUERY!

NOTE: As you are creating a MASCOT for a high school, it should probably look FIERCE. Notice what happened when I put a prompt similar to the ones above into these other AI Image generators:

PARTYROCK HUSKY MASCOT (too cute, words spelled wrong, two nets?)	CANVA HUSKY MASCOT : (ick. looks stupid, looks like elementary school.)

I did a similar image a few year ago as a logo for Esports Posters. To do this, I took the created image into CANVA and added the circle and the text.

YOUR JOB: Create a logo for a HIGHLAND SPORT OR CLUB. Please include a HUSKY dog of some sort in your design. Have accessories that fit with the sport, such as balls, bats, helmets, etc. PUT THE TEAM OR CLUB NAME ON THE LOGO, as well. To do this, you might want to create a number of separate images and put them together in Canva, instead of trying to create one image that has everything at once.

A TOOL YOU SHOULD USE: CANVA has a very useful and fairly decent DELETE BACKGROUND tool, USE IT TO CREATE YOUR LOGO!

SUBMITTING YOUR WORK: PLEASE NOTE: If your HUSKY LOGO DOES NOT LOOK AWESOME, I DON'T WANT IT. THIS SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT, IF IT WERE A STICKER, YOU WOULD BE EXCITED TO PUT ON YOUR CHROMEBOOK, BECAUSE IT LOOKS SO COOL!

When you have created your HUSKY LOGO, please SHARE>DOWNLOAD>JPG and then upload it to your COMPTECH folder for grading. This will be a 50 point project.
