Remember it is important to choose your own style, your own letters and your own logo to make your product individual to you.

Let you 3D letters/word match your puzzle maze.

Drawing in 3D

Task 1 - Have a go

During this lesson, you will have a go at drawing lettering that is 3D.

You can start by drawing a letter of your choice in 3D using either pencil, pen and paper or a drawing app. Look at the examples above and to the right. You can try different styles.

Task 2 - Choose a name for your puzzle

Once you have mastered a single letter, you can then have a go at making a logo for you puzzle game in 3D. There are lots of videos and examples on this page to help you but the only way to learn is by having a go!

Make sure you attach photo's of what you do, to today's assignment in Google Classroom so your teacher can see your work.

Make sure that your logo and 3D letters spell a word that matches your puzzle maze - give it a name and let that name be the logo for your product.
