Description
If you’re a graphic designer or wish to become a graphic designer, creating a logo is one of the number one things you get asked to do.
In this class, I’m going to show you exactly how to create beautiful, custom logos that will impress your clients and help you land more work as a graphic designer.
There are a lot of different ways you can use these skills immediately while following along with the class. We’re going to do a few different things:
- First, we’re going to be jumping in using a notebook or a piece of paper to sketch out some ideas.
- Then we’re going to use an iPad for a little bit and I will show you how to create digital art using that tool. For example, you can use Procreate or Adobe Fresco, or even Illustrator on the iPad.
- Perhaps you’ve got a Wacom tablet, which is another excellent design tool – I will show you some ways to use that for logo design as well.
- Then we will use Adobe Illustrator to bring everything together into a polished, well-rounded artboard, followed by a beautifully packaged finished logo.
Maybe you’re not an “artist.” Maybe you’re terrible at art – like I was when I first started out! If that is the case, don’t worry! I’m going to show you how to use design software to create highly polished, beautiful work even if you can’t sketch to save your life.
I am so excited to have you here in the class – let’s make some cool logos!
