You are to design an eye-catching magazine advertisement for one of the following: clothing, food, or a sporting event or equipment. Do NOT use real brand names (like NIKE.) You are to make up a name for the brand of your item. Prices need to be stated in the ad. Be as creative as possible with names, descriptions, and advertisements. The entire surface of white drawing paper should be used and in color. No white backgrounds. You are to leave white only items that they intend to be white in color. Designs will be graded according to creativity, neatness, and how well you followed directions.

 * Directions ** : You will create your own alphabetical autobiographies. Here's an example: //"A// is for Arkansas; that's where I was born. //B// is for Bonnie; that's my sister's name. //C// is for Cub Scouts; That's my favorite activity." For each letter you must write a word and a reason why that word is part of your alphabetical autobiography. Missed letters will result in the loss of points.


 * Original Comic Strip**

Everyone will start with a long piece of drawing paper. You will fold it in half, then in half again. When it is opened up, there are 4 sections. You must create at least 3 characters and make up names for them. You must compose a 4-part comic strip based on the 3 characters. The characters should interact and speak with each other. Enclose legible spoken words in a bubble. PLEASE PRINT! All four parts should relate to each other and one section should contain a punch line/joke. The entire four sections should be filled with a cartoon design. Body parts should be drawn to fill the cartoon space, not just heads. You will color your cartoons with color pencils or crayons. Be as creative as possible with your cartoons, character names, and punch lines. Comic strips will be graded on originality, legibility, neatness, and good use of design components.

**Quote of Description/Inspiration** ** Directions ** : Each of you will log on to [|www.quotelady.com] and find a quote that describes you or one that will inspire you for the next school year. You must decoratively write out your quote and who said it on a piece of colored construction paper. Also, you must type a paragraph (minimum of at least 6 sentences) telling me why you chose that quote.
