Personal+Logo+Design



You will use your choice of either Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator to create a personal logo for yourself. You may want to first search for inspiring logo designs for reference. Experiment in Inkscape or Illustrator with your initials. You are required to use only your first and last initial, but you can include your middle initial. Start with just the letters in black and white (grayscale). Then add shapes. Make at least 5 completely different designs. Then start adding color, and create 5 more different designs. Save all your work as evidence of your process. Pick your favorite design and alter it into 5 more slightly different designs to perfect it. You will create a page for your final design and another page for all your rough drafts.

*** You will need to take screenshots showing the evolution of your logo. Screenshots need to include
 * Your ideas using only black
 * Your experiments with color.
 * The finishing touches you added.


 * Final Product: ** You will create a document showing your logo with the text “(Your Name) Designs”. Copy and paste your final logo into this document. Enlarge your logo so it fills the page well. Try enhancing your work by adding a drop shadow or other effect. Print this document in color and turn in.


 * If We Have Time: ** You will create a Google presentation that shows the steps of how you created your logo. Share with jgrams@hlv.k12.ia.us. This will include the screen shots showing the evolution of your logo.
