Before the final exam on graphic design in J1, I have students cut though magazines to find design elements. They glue them to the assignment paper. Here’s the assignment. It’s usually a big hit.
Directions: Search through magazines, newspapers or print from websites to find examples of the following design items. You will cut and paste to the assignment sheet. Be sure you label each item.
