MYP Design2023 Goal and Artifact
It is important to reinforce the IB learner Profile traits so that students are better aware of attributes that lead to being a successful, globally-minded individual. For our logo/branding unit, we talk a lot about Brand Values and Target Markets. As a new requirement, students are tasked to connect one of the IB Learner Profile traits as either a primary or secondary value to their brand values. Embedding the the traits into the unit provide an organic and intentional way of considering the benefits of these values. Below are some examples of brands and logos that students created where they included the IB Leaner Profile traits as Brand Values in their Brand ID pages.
