The student planner theme is "belonging". The design should visually incorporate that theme and the school mascot in some form.
 
The file size is 8.5 X 11 Portrait - 300 Resolution. Photoshop or Illustrator can be used. Use a safe zone of 1/2 Inch (demo will be given) for all text and important images. Background imagery, background patterns etc. can go to edge and beyond.
 
Planner must visually include:

2019-2020
Valencia High School or VHS

Words: "pride - tradition - excellence" somewhere on the cover design.
 
Previous year planner covers will be attached for reference.

Zentangle Mandala in Adobe Illustrator
 
You will be creating a Zentangle mandala in Adobe Illustrator. You will learn about the visual impact of patterns and symmetrical design in this assignment. Using the polygon tool, line tool, shape tool, patterns and specific color combinations, you will be making a radial design that contains whatever creation you can imagine. Examples of one way to do the process are in the link below. We will go over all of the steps on how to create this mandala in class as well (some steps may differ from example steps).
 
Make sure to have a solid plan and sketch out ideas so that you mandala has meaning (symbols, specific color combos etc). You want to create imagery in the design rather than just random lines. Color schemes and color theory will definitely have a major part in the final grade of the project.
