ELEMENTS OF STYLE FOR DESIGN AND PRESENTATION

"Do you see what I'm hearing?"

Objectives:

For this assignment, based on the principles of design, we basically have to illustrate those principles based on a song.

We were given a list of songs to choose from [instrumentals] but I decided to suggest and use a song of my own, Plantasy by Resavoir.

Food For Thought

Objectives:

Update the brand of an existing restaurant of your choice.

After researching the restaurant, design a logo, menu, and packaging.

Students then need to decide, depending on the type of restaurant, one more piece to design (interior & exterior design, or Website & Social Media).

I chose social media.

packaging - food box

packaging - paper bag

website - home page
