Just a reminder!
Tomorrow, April 1st, we have our informal class at 8 am -10 am. We will review everything, so you know what you need to complete for the class. We will review the new projects and the earlier projects, mid-semester exam, the up and coming video project etc. Please come and we will get through this semester. I know it is a difficult time we are experiencing in our life and world. Our next formal class will be Tuesday, April 7th.
See you tomorrow!
Many of your reading assignments have been logo history articles such as the one about the UCONN husky logo, the Met Logo redesign article, the Google Redesign Logo article, etc.and you can use these as guides. And here is the link to previous student logo history papers that were excellent:

If you are unsure that you have met all the criteria for the assignment, please review the description of the assignment which was in the first day homework assignment sheet and can be found on our site under Assignments/Week 1.
Above is the rubric that will be used to grade this assignment. However, you will not get a grade on the assignment right now. You will get a preliminary grade on your 2nd draft and a final grade on your third draft. This does not mean you shouldn’t put serious effort into the drafts.It does mean that you should concern yourself with the grade you will get by doing some in-depth research and getting down your thoughts without undue concern about final polishing, minor grammatical errors, etc because by doing two drafts these will be corrected.

The whole idea behind designing is being able to solve problems visually that help the client best communicate his or her message. Before you start designing, talk to your client and listen; then keep your client involved in the process.
• Listen to the client to understand the design challenge. Make the client feel involved. Try to assist gently when suggesting changes you feel would create a better product, but do not make the client feel incompetent. You need to fully understand the client’s project in order to help.
• You need to know the market the design is intended for and what the client’s design specifications are. Is this design going to be used for print and electronic media?
if so, then understanding different ways images and text are going to be presented for each medium is crucial to the success of the project.
• What materials are needed for the project, and what is your experience with these materials? What software or hardware are you comfortable with, and whichones will require that you rely on others for expertise?
• Know your budget and guidelines. Complete as much research as possible so you will be able to stay within your estimate. Set a time frame for completion of various components of the project.
