This online logo design course will show you how to make yours count.
Step-by-Step Secrets to Designing Great Logos
Combine Technical Skills with Creative Principles
While this course has been created with designers in mind, you do not need any previous design experience to complete it successfully. Small business owners, art students, prospective freelancers, or anyone looking to learn how to create effective logos will be able to follow the material easily. A basic knowledge of Illustrator, Photoshop and design principles is helpful but not necessary.
This online course will lead you through the entire logo design workflow from start to finish, using real-world examples and step-by-step instructions. You'll start off with understanding the concept, functions, and importance of logos. Next you'll analyze some of the most recognized logos in the world and explore best practices and current trends in logo design. Plagiarism and copyright - very important topics for any creative job are also covered at this stage.
Next, you'll take an in-depth look at the visual elements of a logo and two of the most important elements; typography and color. Following that, the nitty-gritty of the logo design process and graphics fundamentals will be covered, before the most challenging stage; getting to know how Photoshop and Illustrator work and actually creating your first logo using both.
By the end of this course, you will not only have gained the design theory and creative know-how to come up with great logo designs, you'll also have the technical skills needed to create them.
