In this assignment we were
asked to create a letterhead, business card, or any other desktop
publishing item of our choice that will reflect who we are and what
interests us. My choice was to create a business card. Business
cards are a common way to introduce yourself, and they give someone
a small way to remember you.

Description: This business
card was created to introduce myself and my interest.
Rationale: I selected
this artifact because it represents a common business card created
with new technology. Not too long ago a person would have to take
this type of job to a printer to have business cards made. With
today's technology these types of jobs can be done in-house.
Through the process of creating
the business card we were required to have a logo, message and universal
readability. The lesson introduced us to ideas of typography and
supporting graphics.
Implications for future:
This would be a great introduction lesson for students because they
would not have to worry about filling up the entire space. Students
can focus on the basics in a small assignment without being overwhelmed.
They may even enjoy passing their cards out to their peers.
Reviewers Comments:
You have more patience than I have, Debbie. You created a really
nice tone with your graphics. The fade in the yellow behind the
name of your shop gave a nice highlighted effect. You did a great
job with your pencil work in Photoshop. I'm way too impatient and
a bit to unsteady with my hand on the mouse to do the nice job that
you did. The bow and the hand stitching around the card really do
look homespun, not crude.

Media: Macromedia Dreamweaver
and MS Word
Description: Create
a unit/lesson plan for one of the following studies.
Newsletter, Envelope, Brochure,
Invitation, Letterhead, Business Card, Flyer, Announcement, Greeting
Card, Reports, or Manuscripts
I create a unit lesson plan
that would have the student create their own graduation announcement.
They would be required to select photos and or graphic they felt
best represented their educational career. Throughout the lesson
they need to consider their audience and the tone for such an occasion.
I also created a page for the
teacher as well as the student. Also included was a rubric, for
evaluating the final product.
Rationale: I picked
this artifact based on the fact that I think it would appeal to
my students. I think that the process of reflecting back on their
education would be a great activity to emphasize mood, use of color,
and other design elements.
Implications for future:
I hope to use this lesson next year. I probably will include a planning
exercise to help evaluate the students progress through this assignment.
I like to use assignments that are more personal in nature, so that
my students will feel that this is a meaningful assignment and not
just busy work.
Reviewers Comments:
That is a great lesson idea! I can't wait to share it with my class
(if you don't mind) it's fantastic.
The only suggestion that I
have is to include a key to the terms for the teacher and instructions
to the students as to what they should do with the terms (Do they
write them down and turn them in? Do they just make sure that they
know them? ). Of course, we are all supposed to know these but there
are still the teachers that want the 'crutch' to grade by. :-)
