Everything start with a Basic Drawing

Do you agree or disagree? What changes in technology could benefit us in the future? What might this look like? In my opinion, I would say I strongly disagree that technology is making us antisocial because I do believe the purpose of technology is to make things easier in such a way to help us in our everyday life. Social media nowadays help up us to keep you updated on what happens in their lives and to keep communication wherever parts of the world. The possible benefits of technology in the future is more likely to improve tools, equipment and some sort of apps and other programs in terms of livelihood, education, industrial and manufacturing. Looking forward the technology keeps on evolving and develop more ideas that utilize the technology in a good and healthy way.

Year 9 Graphics students start designing a logo inspired by their names using google drawing as a tool. They begin sketching the initial letters of their names. The students are very engaged trying to create something that will best represent their identity. After this, they will be introduced to designing logos that will represent their favourite product or brands. This time, they will be encouraged to use symbols that can easily put labels or trademarks to specific products they wish to promote.
