Cover for Monday 7th February 2011

Hi guys.

Really sorry I am not in today.

Objectives-

To write your Design Situation, Design Brief and Initial Specification.

To sketch a variety of existing logos in order to analyse what successful logos have in common.

To begin the development of the logo you have chosen to change.

PLTS

Self Managers- Set yourself goals for what you want to achieve during the lesson. Manage your time effectively to achieve these goals and stay on task.

You should have written your Design Situation, Design Brief and Initial Specification and you now need to post this on your blog.

Once this is complete you need to begin some sketching. You need to fill one or two A3 sheets of paper with sketches of existing logo designs. Try to copy them as best of you can. This will help you develop your sketching skills. Also add colour and any other details of the logos you have chosen. What have successful logos got in common? Maybe you could post you r thoughts on your blog?

Once you have done your research you need to start to develop your chosen logo. I would suggest drawing the original on one part of your page and then changing it in a number of ways. You could change the shape, slogan, colours or entire look of the logo, it is up to you.

Have fun, use your skills and remember to be CREATIVE!!

Mr Thomas
