Some of you had missed some lessons here is the hand out on ‘How to Scan and Draw your logo’:

Here's the other hand out on how to create your presentation in Illustrator:

All work apart from logo initial designs, MUST be handed in on CD. The CD must include 4 folders:
1. Research
2. Final 3D Design Logo Presentation
3. T-Shirt, poster or sticker design
4. Evaluation
Evidence to Submit – FMP checklist
3D Model
Animation
A2 Presentation
Here’s a break down of how you’re folder should look like with all work needed to be handed in.
ALL ICT WORK MUST BE HANDED IN ON CD. IF IT’S NOT ON CD IT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
That you have one more week before half term. All models should have been started and should be finished by either this week or next. It is IMPERATIVE that you also create A2 presentations for the show. Some of you have decided not to make real scale models and have opted for 3D rendered models and images, if this is the case you should be on course for completion before half term.
If you are starting your A2 presentation you may want to look back at old posts for sizing and presentation style etc: A2 Size
You all know what you have to do.
For the past few weeks you have been collating research as well as creating some logos. You will be presenting your final logo along with the research. After that you will be taking your sketch and scanning it into Photoshop and then importing the image into Illustrator to start tracing and eventually presenting the design on a t-shirt, poster or sticker. I think everyone has pretty much chosen a t-shirt. Here are a few examples for you to take into consideration:
The final sketch
The vectored image
The t-shirt template. To download click >>>T-Shirt_Template.ai<<<
The logo presentation
The t-shirt presentation
This has to all be done during the lesson. I will be giving a demonstration on creating the layouts, handouts will also be made available.
Good luck! Next week is the deadline!
Some of you are designing portable navigation devices some of you are creating designs based on interiors. The video below shows examples of how you can use Cinema 4D to spruce up and bling up the animations that you are required to do.

For the past few weeks you have been collating and presenting research for the Logo project. This week we shall be taking a look at Adobe Illustrator and we will also be running through a brief introduction and exercise to get you familiar with the program… but don’t worry, if you know how to use Adobe Photoshop then you pretty much know how to navigate around the program. For this exercise you will need to download the image below:
The weeks are passing by fast and some of know what you’re doing… but some of you don’t. Sometimes the hardest thing about a project is starting it. What sometimes helps is to put together a plan of action, of what you are going to do by when. I have put together a planner that you can use and so that I can see what you are actually doing as the weeks pass by. This should be brought with you to every lesson as well as the work that you have produced. The next week few weeks will be one to one based and I shall be reviewing what you have been doing and what you need to do. This way all your individual needs are met.
So for this lesson you will be given a sheet which breaks down what you need to do. Then you will also be given a planner where in which you will fill out accordingly. Here’s the planner: FMP-Planner
Whilst trawling the internet I found a few logo related videos:
Batman – Evolution of a Symbol/logo
Logorama – Oscar 2010 Winner for Best Animated Short Film – Logorama Website
Logorama from Marc Altshuler – Human Music on Vimeo.
So research should be finished by now. Here’s an example of what you should have:
Logo Research
You should have at least one page of logo related research with accompanying text, from there you may decide to focus your research a little more and choose specific logos, or logos that personally appeal to you or seem interesting enough for you to double take:
Then you should have started your research around 3D Design. As a class you brainstormed possible avenues in which to research which should have been completed at home:
3D Design Research
You will be presenting your work in an informal critique in class. Goodluck!
