On the second day of CAP, students had the opportunity to practice making logos and product packaging, under direct direction from Laeticia Caeli and Kezia Gracia from the Corporate Communications team. The basic technique of making a logo using Adobe Illustrator software is a reference for students in designing chocolate product packaging designs. All CAP material for two consecutive days is expected to be a basic provision for Class X Visual Communication Design students before moving on to the next materials.
