What Will I Learn?

• You will be able to come up with an idea, create thumbnail sketches, and refine your design into a finished type-based logo.
• You will be able to download the working files that were created in the video so you can see them up close.

Requirements

• Even though beginners are welcome to this course, you should already have some familiarity with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to get the most out of Lectures 13 through 19 of this course. These sections are Mac software focused at an intermediate level. If you understand layers, various tools, and how to draw objects in Photoshop and Illustrator, then this should be enough for you to follow the computer sections of this class.

Target audience

• This course is for anyone who is interested in improving their type-based logo designs.
• This course does not cover icon design or logo designs that do not contain lettering.
• This course shows the process of creating a type-based logo. However, it is not focused on the history and fundamentals of type.
