Areas of Interaction (AoI)

Human IngenuityEvaluate the effects of technology on

society

ATL

Organization

Working independently

Communication

AIMS:

The aim of this unit is to allow students to:

Demonstrate the design cycle from their own design brief (investigate, plan, create,evaluate)

Work effectively independently

Manage time and resources

Use Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop to create and present a document

Employ research techniques to understand a topic

ASSESSMENT

Assessment Strategies:INVESTIGATE ~ Written or graphic task assessed against a specific rubric

PLAN ~ Written and graphic task contained within a design folio assessed against a rubric based

on MYP grade level criteria

CREATE ~ Observation/analysis of end product compared to planning stages ~ Observation of use

of technology

EVALUATE ~ A written evaluation detailing students experience with processes, success of



4/15

product (based on user evaluation)

PERSONAL ENGAGEMENT ~ Observation by teacher and summatively recorded twice a

semester; Student self assessment against a specific rubric at end of semester

Task: Students will design a magazine cover that reflects the content of a fictionalmagazine. Students must use newly acquired Photoshop Illustrator techniques and

make decisions based on style, format and content in the design of their magazine.

INVESTIGATE:

Do an analysis of other magazine cover *BEFORE writing your design brief

Brainstorm ideas for your magazine cover
