This project provides step by step directions for students to create their own cereal box in Adobe Illustrator. Project Goals: 1. For students to be able to apply their Adobe Illustrator skills onto a creative project piece. 2. Students will focus on design principles such as: alignment, contrast, proximity and typography. 3. Students will learn how to use already created pieces as an influence rather than copying- make a piece of their own!

Great idea. I may add this next year for my first semester Graphics students. What did you use to actually create the assignment instructions themselves?

With this project, students don't need to be Olympic athletes to get their faces on a box of "Wheaties". This is great and a wonderful way to engage students. I would love to try this with my Fireworks and Photoshop classes also.
