3MG Tech Skills Challenge T-shirts

Your assignment is a real design challenge that is required by your school. Each year, LCI sponsors a tech skills challenge for grade 7 students from our feeder schools. They come to Lakeshore for the day and 1 or 2 students from each school participate in a variety of tech challenges from food service, cosmetology, graphic design and photography, construction, automotive and electricity. Each participant receives a t-shirt to remember the event and each Lakeshore student ambassador also receives a t-shirt. These t-shirts need to be re-designed this year with a new logo and design.

The final selected design will be used on the actual T-shirts and printed for that challenge. The design of the t-shirt will be able to use this design in a portfolio and also be able to put it in a resume.

Your challenge:

Design a logo for the LCI tech skills challenge that is a pictorial or abstract visual (symbol or illustration) in one colour. The text must be present somewhere on the shirt - with the logo or surrounding it. The logo should be a visual symbol of technology - think of words like innovation, creativity, ideas, problem solving, experiential or hands on etc.

• The logo must be one solid colour (one for a black shirt, white shirt and blue shirt).


• You must design it in terms of size and placement.


• You must create it using Illustrator and save it both as an illustrator file and as a jpg.


• You must post your finished logo to the blog with a written paragraph explaining your design choices and how they express the theme of technology skills challenge.


• The logo should be graphic and dynamic, memorable and the text and image must be clear and legible.
