091622: CANVA Sign-Up / Create A Logo

BACKGROUND

A personal logo defines and reinforces your personal brand—especially the way you interact with your audience in speech and the written word.  Your logo should make a memorable impression so your followers, viewers, readers or students easily recognize it. 

A personal logo might involve the usage of your name, your business name, the name of your website, newsletter or product. It should bring together all of these elements to create a brand identity.

PROJECT / ACTIVITIES

(❗️) Create a Personal LOGO (Coat of Arms) using photos, drawings, or any other medium. Watch the videos below to understand why logos are important.  Create an Account on CANVA and then use some of the other resources linked below.  You should be able to create something with any of these programs. I would suggest using the LogoGarden Application to start getting ideas, but to get a higher-quality logo, you will need to use Inkscape (more information to follow tomorrow), or YouiDraw.com (See Below).

YOU MUST CREATE A NEW FOLDER IN YOUR GOOGLE DRIVE, NAME IT "(LAST NAME) LOGOS", ADD ALL THREE (3) OF YOUR LOGOS, AND SHARE IT WITH MR. SCRIBNER (harvey.scribner@techfreire.org) FOR CREDIT!

You can use the Free Logo Designer on LogoGarden to help you come up with an idea, but you will not be able to download your creation as a High-Resolution Image. There are literally hundreds of other free websites to help you. Pick one! Once you have designed it on LogoGarden, try to use a drawing program or PowerPoint to recreate your logo. Once you have created it and saved it as a PICTURE, you should be able to use it to create all kinds of projects for your new production company. HAVE FUN!

STEP-BY-STEP DIRECTIONS
Step 1: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE

Step 2: Review the videos attached to get an idea of what a logo is for, the types of logos, and why you should create one for your new production company.

Step 3: Hand Sketch your ideas for your new logo on blank paper to give yourself some creative time to make your logo come alive on paper before trying to create it online.

Step 4: Go to LogoGarden (See Link Above) and use the Logo Designer to create a Low-Resolution logo for your production studio. When you have created a Low-Resolution version of your logo, download it, and Upload it to your Google Drive for future use.

Step 5: Go to DesignEVO (See Link Above) and use the Logo Designer to create a Medium-Resolution logo for your studio, with the same overall design theme.

Step 6: Go to YouiDraw.com online and create a High-Resolution version of your logo with the same design theme.

Step 7: Make sure to Upload ALL your logos to your Google Drive and SHARE them with Mr. S (harvey.scribner@techfreire.org) for credit.
