Welcome to CTE Graphic Design
with Mrs. Gonzalez
Have you ever wondered how brands create eye-catching packaging, stylish ads, orcool websites? In this class, you’ll learn how design connects creativity with real-world problem-solving, the same skills professionals use every day.
Case Study
During a career day event at Carnegie Middle School in Carson, CA each class got to design their own brand of toothpaste. Digital and physical mock ups were made of each of the designs.
During the hour-long session, each class learned
- what a dieline is (a 2d blueprint of a product's packaging structure)
- how toothpaste is packaged and why we expect it to be the way it is
- color strategy based on the product type
- what the purpose of that black bar at the top of the tube means
