School-Assignments part 2
	There was an assignment to re-design an already famous logo. To my delight I was chosen to do a Rossignol ski logo. The other part of the assignment was to create a billboard for the same manufacturer. Why a bird? Rossignol means lark in French. Logos and more logos... Fun to do. Logos are a big part of the graphic design since they will represent some company or person without text. At a glance you will know whom- or which company it describes.
Above is a water-color and guach illustration of a fairytale for a book-jacket. The text is a bit off since the name of the author was going to be placed along the right vertical side of the picture.
Point of purchase, a mock-up for promoting a chocolate filled with marzipan	A fun to do logo/poster competition for a library in Ontario, which I eventually didn't win.	This helmet and the Viking Ship below was intended for a desktop publishing project the old fashioned way

		"Trillium Travels" A logo assignment coming out wrong. The squares symbolizing the continents is a last minute "cover-up"
To the upper right: My class participated in a competition for a library in Ontario. My idea was to make something that also could look nice as a poster. A well deserved rack with books won. The other day, just by accident, I found my art-history essay. It was about the naivistic style of French painter Henry Rosseau. What happened regarding the essay assignment has a story of its own and I'm dwelling if I should post it here...	The logos to the above right, were created in two different classes. The Viking helmet was for a newsletter assignment, which was going to be done "camera-ready". The logo beneath the Viking, in Design Studio 1902, for a travel-brochure in Ontario. The trillium is Ontario's provincial flower. Unfortunately I had a couple of accidents while making the ink lines on the globe in the center. Since there were no time to start over, I covered the mishap by fillings which were supposed to represent the continents. This particular design brings more memories from school, but those are another story. The Viking ship above, was intended for the newsletter. Today, with all computer inventions students has access to, I look back at what we had to learn using in 1980-1990s. It was an era which today seem to be lingering from the days of Gűtenberg. Lac of funds, we were happy to have any mechanical equipment at all, even if it sometimes gave us nightmares, which we found out during the next school year.
The "obligatory" Christmas-card and other Christmas designs was also supposed to be silk-screened, but time ran to quickly that very busy third semester 1993. But there was one of my designs which was done. It was intended for gift-wrapping with smaller "Santas", but ended up as a place-mat design (above). The school kept one, and I got three of them. I have always been wondering why we didn't screen 5 pieces? Quebec City	Thumb-nails in water-color for my calendar project. This calendar was going to be a silk-screen on fabric, like linen cloth. We ran out of time. To the left: White on white. A mock-up made of water-color paper for a white on white poster about Quebec City, Canada. The years gone bye has made it look a bit different. Well... so has time also done to me. Seventeen years has passed by since then. Did any one realize how shy I can be? Don't think so. UP	\| The Provincial flowers of Canada A watercolor assignment was to illustrate a piece of text from a creative writing course. A poem was chosen for me; Looking for Mary. About a little boy who got help from two alligators to look for his sister Mary. Above a water-color on Bristol- board which I made for myself as an extra assignment during Summer 1992. During the last semester I turned ill, and since my husband got transferred and we were moving to Florida, there was no time to make up for unfinished assignments.
