YOUR NEW PRODUCTION STUDIO: (WHAT IMAGE DOES IT HAVE ON THE STREET?)
Made With YouiDraw.com |
You are about to create a logo for your new production company. This logo, in one way or another, must appear on all documents, videos, websites, and any other media that you create for this class until the end of the Semester. You will eventually make a video logo as well, and both the one you design today, and the video logo should have a similar message and features/style.
Think about why your production company needs a logo. What emotions should your design evoke in people who see it? What types of messages will be attached to this logo, and how can you turn this into a brand? Once you answer these questions, you are ready to design!
THINK about yourself as the owner/executive producer of a design studio. You will eventually create a website, videos, and other media associated with this production studio. What kind of studio do you want to create? What types of entertainment/news/sports media are you interested in creating? What social issues might your studio stand for? How can you be creative with the symbol of your studio so people will recognize it, and want to see your movies, websites, or articles? Take the answers to these questions, and create a logo for your new production studio!

Create a LOGO using photos, drawing, or any other medium. Watch the video about why a LOGO is important "Why is a Professional Logo Important?" (Click Here). You should be able to create something with either program. 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 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 prodution company. HAVE FUN!
