Step 2: Logos

Targets:

- My work is stronger because I use the elements and principles of art/design

- I feel confident creating designs in adobe illustrator

- I honestly experiment with many design choices before choosing my best option

- I honestly research examples of graphic design and photography for inspiration

Today you will:
1.  Look closely at your logos, select your 4 BEST LOGOS (they must be logos with your initials and or name) and put them into a new Illustrator Document size 8.5 x 11.

2.  Your 4 Best logos will be placed at the top of the document.  You will build from these logos using:  
Color 
Gradients
Effects
Line Variation
Font Changes
Transparencies and more
4.  You will make 12 new logos during this process.

Don't forget to use color palettes like design seeds and Adobe Color
