Collage of Campaign Graphics and Slogans
Graphic designers, videographers, and web content creators have a BIG role to play in creating "selling" a candidate and their message during an election. I thought it would be an excellent challenge for student to design their own campaign graphic and slogan. What would they offer our country if they ran as a public servant (slogan) and what visual would help people remember their name (graphic).
This assignment would only focus on first names since the results would be published online. Here is my example. Can you tell what play on words I'm trying to achieve?

Elect Tricia Graphic and Slogan
HOW TO:
I used Comic Life app to find an interesting font. I drew the graphic in Keynote (desktop version) using the vector line option. See this post for a tutorial of how to draw with keynote. Then put the whole composition together in Keynote as well.
DESIGN EXPLAINED:
I chose RED, WHITE, and BLUE for the design to represent the USA. I made a compact fluorescent bulb instead of the incandescent to suggest my energy saving plans. I tried to make my name look like the word "Electrician" to tie into energy and reinforced it with my slogan implying that I have bright ideas which is usually depicted visually with a light bulb.
LESSON EXTENSION: Since the whole design was assembled in Keynote, I used the animation tools in that program to visually enhance my message through movement. Then I exported the animation as a quicktime movie and converted it using ezgif.com.
