Logo Design Crash Course
Explore the world of logo design in this 3 hour introductory course. You will be introduced to branding and logo design as the instructor walks you through the development of a logo for a fictional client. Together, we will explore the creative design process, develop logo concepts, and choose an appropriate font and colour palette to support our design. Students will create a ‘mockup’ file to present the design which will be a suitable portfolio piece showcasing their skills.

As this is a condensed 3 hour course, while students are welcome to develop their own designs, the instructor will walk students through the development of one concept to final presentation.
