Interesting Article

Hi Guys

Interesting Article that Gerry emailed me. Take a look its about Logos.

Assignment 2 updated

Hi Guys

I should be more clear about assignment 2.

I'm giving every one at lease a half an hour to an hour at the
beginning of class tomorrow night to work on their logo.

My plan is to have everyone complete a form of their logo and we can critique. Then every one can work on the logo further.

Assignment 2 doesn't have a due date. You have until the end of the course to hand that one In.

I'll go over this more tomorrow night.

Logo Assignment

Using Illustrator, Create a unique creative logo that represents you or your company. You will be marked on your use of colour, creativity, font choice, Graphics placement and how well your logo fits in your website layout.

This assignment will be an on-going assignment. Meaning it will be due once we critique and you have a chance to make changes or at the end of the program which ever comes first.
