I went to my son’s 5th grade class today and spoke about being a graphic designer. It was career week at his school. I spoke on how most computer related games and websites required a graphic designer’s skills. I Also talked to them about brand recognition, print, and typography. Amazing how well mass marketing can effect a child. They recognized 10 logos that were displayed as only a portion of it- such as the wal-mart asterisk, and Taco Bell’s “bell”. They had fun during this easy test. At least they didn’t fall asleep.
I created a website for the 5th grade class according to some of their preferences.
Fifth Grade Site

I made a flash site for them as well using the same basic layout and links.
