Course:

Visual Media 130 Section 05, Ben Pingel

Objectives:

Complete three different, original logos to fit a companythat will appeal to the audience. Gather opinions

of atleast 10 people about which logo appeals to them the

most. Use only illustrator tools to create and draw your

logos.

was especially helpful in getting the exact shade so that

I had the right color scheme. The shape building added im-

agery connecting to the name of the design company.

typorgaphy. Use basic In Design Skills and retrieve image

and logo from links on page. Create a project folder with

image, logo and In Design document.
