Lesson Plan: Class 17

What will students be able to do by the end of Lesson 17?

This lesson completes the Beginning Graphic Design course. During this lesson, students will see their final project, SMILE Magazine, in print for the first time. All content on this magazine was written, edited, and designed by students in this class. Students will have grasped the concepts of beginning graphic design, and will know how to combine the elements of design to create a cohesive piece of work.

Students will examine this final project, and reflect on how they accomplished the work.
