Benefits for Students
Historical perspective
From marking one’s territory to marking... well, everything, the concept of identity has evolved greatly over time. Logo Creed provides a brief overview of that evolution.
Comprehension
The discovery process: powerful research, reading the air for clues, understanding budgets, redesign versus new project considerations, and knowing what sort of mark to create.
The development process: generating potent ideas, group and solo brainstorming, favorite techniques and processes of leading designers, components of great logos, refining toward the best solutions.
The delivery process: building brand DNA, creating effective presentations, teaching the brand story, and keeping your designs relevant.
Practicalities of design
While most designers would work for free if they could, chances are that your students will need to use their design skills to find or create gainful employment. Logo Creed helps set the stage for the transition into working as a designer.
