(NWEA Testing Week – Extended Project Block)

🎯 Learning Intention

Today, I will develop my personal brand logo project by refining my design and documenting progress in my Tech Journal.

✅ Success Criteria

I know I’m successful when I produce at least one revised draft of my logo in Canva and explain my design choice in my Tech Journal.

🌍 Why Are We Learning This?

A strong logo is more than art — it’s your identity in digital spaces. Learning this skill prepares you for portfolios, internships, and client work.
