    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!
