Presentation: Milton Glaser on drawing

Due: Logo sketches. Logos can be either a symbol or a logotype. Keep in mind logos should:
-> work in black and white (color comes later)
-> be readable at a large and fairly small size
-> be a simple enough graphic that it is memorable – think geometric in shape.

Note how I asked you to layout the page – so that you have one logo per page – a small and large version along with the product name.
Remember these are sketches – raw ideas – they do not have to be finalized pieces of art, just enough to get the message across.

Lab-time: finalize sketches and render logo in Illusrtator

Lesson:
-> Live Trace and then pencil tool
-> Review Gradient Mesh tool

Homework
1. Finalize your logo (I would like to collect the completed illustrator file)
2. Read handout: (see ‘GRA3611-ProductResearch’ week 4)
3. Bring in three concept sketches for product design
4. Start working on mid-term assignment: Design Brief (see ‘GRA3611-ProductResearch’ week 3)
