We just had a critique for a logo project in my class. The students created a business by combining a crazy adjective with a noun…think Unsightly Skydiving. Literally, I had the students draw nouns and adjectives out of hat and then they had to research the words. The students had to use dictionaries and then a thesaurus. From that point the students then had to play what I call thought tree games. We did word associations, and random connection games to try to get the students to think outside the literal box.
The students were to then to create a logo for a specific demographic. We would draw up a contract and then they would create a logo. Well, a poor girl received Salty Amusement Park came up with a genius solution. She associated salty with old people, the ocean and a snack food. Since we also live in Florida she decided to make the amusement park a water park. We Floridians have an old nickname that is crackers. So she created a logo of a old looking cracker (as in the snack) in an tube with water splashing. It was more of a illustrative logo, but it really worked well.
However, where it really shined was the font choice. I told the students try to say the font she chose out loud depressed. It seemed simple to do until someone actually tried it. The class agreed her choice of font was so good it was nearly impossible to say what she wrote depressed or sad. I would say that was a success. Very interesting post on your part. Thank you so much for your contribution.

There are many advantages to distance learning. First, most of us are still in field so we can practice what we learn almost immediately. Traditional classroom settings theorize ideas to be used at a later date. Second, many of the local issues we each face may have solutions elsewhere familiar to our peers. For example, I am an educator who is constantly advocating for changes in the way design is taught to high school students. Others in my class may have valuable insight into this issue. Lastly, because many of us are working the level of student in theory can be higher because their expertise is in too high of demand to afford to take the traditional time off for a classroom setting
