Assignment

Lynda.com: Designing a Logo  (Don't forget to login to Lynda first)

Watch this course from beginning to end, take notes on things that you think are important. (Writing things down will help you remember them as well as giving you something to reference). Pay close attention to each thing he talks about, especially while he is problem solving out loud. Think about the questions he is thinking about and ask your self if what he is saying might apply to your designs, write notes on this too.

NOTE: There may be some usefull info in the sections where he talks about transparencies  DO NOT USE TRANSPARENCIES, FALSE DROP SHADOWS, ETC! as a rule anything below the 'Effect' > 'Rasterize' is off limits!

You are welcome to, but are not required to use download and use the exercise files.

(For those of you in Independent/Practicum class, it might be a good idea to apply this to your revision project too.)

After you watch this, go back and look at your 3 logo/icons and see what you can do to improve them. I expect 3 GOOD designs. Not 1 good and one and 2... not so much.

All three logos are to be posted before or within 30 min of the beginning Monday's class. For the rest of that class period (and as long as it takes) you are to crit each others work. All comments are to be posted before the next meeting class (next Wed.) I expect to see comments from each one of you on each design.

Presentation: Each Logo/Icon should be presented: One blog post for each logo; 2 sheets for each logo.
  1. The first sheet shows the logo/icon presented separately, as below.
  2. The second should have the combined logo/icon design in 5 sizes: .5,  1, 1.5, 3 and 6 inch(s) as below. 
(These should be posted exactly as below... Logo/Icon separately first, then the sized sheet.)
