50 Apples

Hi guys!

I am soooooooooo glad this assessment is finished, at least i hope it's finished.

I did all mine in Photoshop, so the first thing other than research was looking for a good tutorial  on how to make an apple in photoshop, once i found that things were ok ;-)

Learning Activity 5: Make 3 logos

Hi All!
For this assessment we were asked to make 3 logos that featured negative space and this negative space  needed to be the principal driver of the identity.  I must admit i found this particular task really challenging and i hope everyone else does too ;-)
These are what i made: 
  • Dragon Draught (beer label)
  • Mccoach Plumbing (i made a plumbing application for this guy last year, so i pretended to make a logo for his website)
  • SOS - Save Our Panda's (made up logo for animal activist website)
