Logo Design Sketches

Typographic Logo assignment:
Begin with creating your company name or names if you have a few ideas.

Next you will be sketching 50 designs based on the idea of a Topographic Logo for your graphic design company.  5 or more of these designs will use the collage technique,  and 5 or more must use the transfer technique along with sketching.  We will learn these techniques over the next few classes.  
The sketches will be due in 3 days.  You will have time in class each day to work. Your goal is to create at least 17 new sketches each class day this week. 
You may not work on this assignment at home until I let you know it is ok due to new information being presented each day to give you different strategies for designing the 50 ideas. 

Starting the sketches...you're drawing not writing.

Thing to remember as you start designing a typographic logo:
-use text only-no shapes
-you company name needs to clearly tell potential customers that it is a design company
-don't get stuck on the line
-sizes should vary
-break traditional rules
-Try something new

Be sure to create at least 5 transfers and 5 collages in your sketch collection.  We will learn how to do this on Wednesday. Place a star by the transferred sketches. They can be difficult to distinguish for pencil sketches.

Sketches are required for the our first "big" 80% assignment. Sketches are all graded.
