Personal Logos - In progress critique
Overall, great job to everyone in our first semi-formal critique. I think you all did a great job deciphering how to "sell" your work and talk about your design process.
Have a great weekend!

In-Progress Critique
50 Logo Thumbnails - Initial Concepts (Bring to class with you)
PIN UP - Final 2 or 3 Concepts (Big Ideas) with multiple variations for each concept (you should have a total of 25 sketches). Include Color Palettes
* Refined Sketches should be larger so that we can analyse form accurately.
TIP: Remember your logo design must regard form as well as communicate meaning. Before you present your final 2 or 3 concepts to the class, think about what each concept is trying to communicate and how your form visualizes this. (i.e., bold weights, script fonts, tense edges, hand-made qualities, etc.)
