Cereal Box Assignment

Breakfast cereal, how often did you beg your mom to get your favorite cereal. Maybe it was Captain Crunch or Frankenberry. Talk about a sugar rush! Check out this article rating the "10 worst" kids' cereals for sugar.

Take a look at some old school breakfast cereal TV ads at Mr. Breakfast.com. Some of the ads are so old that I remember them! :)

Your Assignment:

Create a novel breakfast cereal. Use your imagination. What demographic is the product aimed at? Children? Old Folks? Terrorists?



1. Include a bowl of the product with its “special” ingredient. (Musket balls)
2. Size – 7.5x10.5 inches
3. Your main graphic must show your knowledge of image manipulation. (Milk coming out of the barrel)
4. Company logo must be included.
5. Promotional “Extra” (Prize inside)
6. Weight on bottom (10.5 oz.)
7. Round Shield with nutritional information.
8.. After you have created the graphic, manipulate it and place it on the cereal box blank found in the Boccini directory in the Teacher Share directory. Use the Perspective, Skew and Distort features to fit the image into the box. Change color to suit you design.




Door Hanger


Create two door hangers. One should represent a teacher or other staff at Mahopac High School. One is a free choice!


  1. Template is found in the Boccini Directory in the Student Commons
  2. Include a graphic.
  3. Add Text.
Make sure the text is large enough to be seen from 10 feet.

Physical Education Hanger

Letterhead Project

Select the design that you like best and apply it to a letterhead, business card and #10 business envelope.

You will find the template for the project in the Boccini directory in the Student Common directory. Inside the Letterhead Project Directory you will find the file letterhead template2.psd. Guidelines and crop marks have been created so all three items can be on the same document.

Insert your logo and text where appropriate.
