My (Brand) Image Assignment

Overview

You will design a one-page magazine-style print advertisement that represents you as a personal brand. This assignment focuses on how effectively you communicate your identity, not artistic ability.

Your ad must be in portrait orientation and include specific print advertisement elements. You may complete the task digitally or by hand.

You are not evaluated on drawing skill. You are evaluated on thinking, planning, communication, and clarity of ideas.

Purpose

This task allows you to:

  • Reflect on who you are and what matters to you
  • Represent your identity in ways that feel authentic and respectful
  • Make intentional design choices to communicate meaning
  • Demonstrate learning using multiple modes (visual, written, symbolic)

You may choose to highlight aspects of your culture, community, interests, values, talents, or future goals. You decide what you share.

Theme/Concept

Your advertisement must have a clear and consistent theme that connects all elements of your design.

Examples of themes include:

  • A hobby, passion, or talent
  • A value or belief that matters to you
  • A goal or aspiration
  • An aspect of your identity you want others to understand

There is no single “right” theme. What matters is clarity and connection.

Required Print Advertisement Elements

Your ad must include the following elements:

  1. Headline – Short text (usually at the top of the page)
  2. Copy – Words, phrases, or short sentences (usually in the middle)
  3. Images – Pictures, symbols, or visuals (photos, drawings, icons, or graphics)
  4. Signature – An original logo and slogan (usually at the bottom)

What to Include

You will incorporate the print ad elements in the following way:

  • Your First Name or Preferred Name (Headline)
  • Three (3) Interests or Activities
    • These can include hobbies, responsibilities, cultural practices, creative outlets, or community involvement (Images)
  • Three (3) Favourite or Meaningful Things
    • Examples: music, food, places, books, shows, sports, traditions, causes (Images)
  • Three (3) Personal Characteristics or Strengths
    • What makes you unique? What are you proud of? (Copy)
  • An Original Logo and Slogan
    • A symbol and phrase that represents who you are or what you stand for (Signature)

Equity, Choice, and Accessibility

To ensure this assignment is inclusive:

  • You may represent yourself symbolically or abstractly
  • You may use digital tools, collage, photography, icons, or hand-drawn visuals

Your identity is respected. Share only what you are comfortable sharing.
