Cereal Box Design
Project Description:
Students will recreate their own cereal box by hand using graphic design layout techniques. Students must come up with their own cereal name and recreate a box on all sides except the bottom. The box should include all of the elements needed on a cereal box. Students will want to think about their audience (who would buy the cereal) and how to draw attention to their product using their design.
But what is Graphic Design?
