Pictured here are the students of Mr. Tyler Theden in our manufacturing class at Monticello Schools, using our vinyl cutter to make a sign for the Tech. Ed. classroom door. Each student designed their own sign/logo. As a class, they reviewed each design and discussed characteristics of a sign; such as text choices, symmetry, spacing, and focal points. After review of the designs, the class narrowed it down to one option and made edits as a class to meet the desired characteristics.
