Description: In this workshop, students will have fun playing a slogan/logo company matching game to explore how some of their favourite brands use artistic ideas, images, and words to get consumers to buy in! Then, they will work together to design the next “best-sellers”, creating their own products and brands, writing convincing short commercial scripts, and performing on camera to make a video. Participants will use creativity and tech skills while becoming more savvy consumers.
