Description:

For this project you will be creating your own flavor, can, and advertisement for a new brand of drink (soda, juice, energy drink etc...)

The project has two main components: 1st the Graphic Design of the Can including selecting a theme for your can and new interesting flavor and 2nd your Advertisement to get people interested in trying your new drink.

I have attached a Power Point in Canvas for you to reference that will greatly help explain the project and what is required to complete each part of the project. If you can't open the Power Point in Canvas you can also view it as a Google Slideshow Here.

To assist you in creating your can and advertisement I have uploaded a lot of files that will be very helpful to you. They can all be viewed in one Microsoft word document here: Soda Can Design Documents.docx Or they can viewed as individual jpg scans of each page here: Graphic Design Info Sheet.jpg , Graphic Design Info Sheet 2.jpg , Blank Soda Can.jpg I have also created a "cheat sheet" to help you with your advertisement that can be downloaded here: Advertising Strategies Cheat Sheet.docx or viewed on Canvas here: Advertising Strategies Cheat Sheet

If you have the ability to print off the blank Soda Can it will be very helpful so you don't have to spend your time drawing the outline of the can. If you don't then you could view it online and VERY VERY lightly trace it on your monitor. ***If you do this make sure you do it lightly otherwise it could damage your computer monitor***
