Strategies for working on project #4:
I.
Consider this question: What will people nee d to either
survive or perhaps use as a luxury item in the year 3000?
Use this question as a starting point in researching what you want
to create and market as a product or service.

Look at how much has changed in the world in just the time you have been
alive.
How much different will our world be in roughly 1000 years?
Look at how current political and global climates are changing. In a few
hundred years,
what will they be like? What will the earth be/look like?
Below, describe what your imaged future would be like. BE
SPECIFIC.
(Is it a wasteland, a utopia, a technologically enhanced world where people
are more
machine than human?)
A vision I see in the future is likely to start to turn into a wasteland with
technology improvement.
What product are you creating that can only exist in the year 3000?
Write what
that product is and how it works/what it does below:
A product that has the capability of altering another products current condition,
for example the ability of undoing trash back into what it was originally.
How will your product be DIFFERENT FROM A CURRENT PRODUCT that
exists today?
Your product should be dramatically different.
Recyclable items such as paper, plastic, and other materials is helpful for
them to be used, but waste items are exactly as the name implied, a waste.
This product will have the capability to recycle even waste back into its original
state.
Who is your product intended for? How will your market it (type of
imagery/type of ad)?

GDES 120 Project #4 Logo Design
Golden
Professor
Based upon what you have decided to create, as well as,
who the product of service is for, write what your project
goal is.
Consider how you want to illustrate your product, logo, and
ad.
(Will your aim be to create a very clean illustration meant
for a business-minded individual or will your designs be
bright and slightly goofy to appeal to a younger audience).
Work in what your goals with Adobe Illustrator are.
(Based on your experience so far with Illustrator, what are
your goals for working with the program? Do you hope to
be able to have a high-level of skill with Illustrator or a
working knowledge of Illustrator?)
Project #4 Goal:
II.
Designing a logo:
As you move to create your logo, you must first pre-visualize
how your logo will look and how this look will represent your
product. Will your product itself be visually represented in your
logo?
Your logo design must be well thought out and
carefully crafted. (DO NOT RUSH THIS)
Your logo should be designed so that it fits with your target demographic
(who you want to buy your product).
Before you draw your logo, list three adjectives that describe
your product: For example: (strong, honest, upstanding) or
(whimsical, playful, exciting) Your word choices should represent
aspects that your consumer base values.
1. Exciting
2. Changes
3. Improvement to environment
GDES 120 Project #4 Logo Design
Golden
Professor
Consider whether it is best to include a name in your logo. If the name
lacks personality it will often not add anything to your logo design.
What is your products name?
Anti-waste Manipulator
Look to other existing logos for inspiration. YOU ARE NOT COPYING A
PRE-EXISTING LOGO. You should look at logos of companies and
products similar to the one you are creating. (Again, look at your
target demographic)

Sketch out three logo designs.
One of these sketches must include type.
One of the sketches must include a total of three colors. (Label the areas
that are different colors)
One of the sketches must include a visual of your product in the logo
itself
Sketch your logo:
Write out your three selected adjectives before your begin to sketch:
1.__________________________________
2.__________________________________
3.__________________________________
Keeps those words at the front of your mind as you begin. Create at least
three logos.

Project #4 checklist:
-Project was created from scratch inside of Illustrator.
Three preliminary logo sketches are posted on your E-Portfolio
Project
Development page along with the Project #4 Strategy Sheet.
-Elements of type are incorporated well into all designs and
are easy to read from a distance. Both your product
illustration and your advertisement must contain some
element of type.
-Project consists of three artboards.
Artboard one contains a logo.
Artboard two contains your product
illustration. Artboard three contains your
advertisement.
-Worked creatively with color and how objects interact with
one another in a composition so that that composition is
easy to read/understand.
- Product is well thought-out and. Each artboard presents a
clear focused
design that markets your product. This marketing
explains WHY
consumers need your product.
- The Project Presentation page of your E-Portfolio is updated
with a JPEG image
of all three of your artboards. Your project #4 goal is listed
beneath your JPEG
imagery. Make sure to update your Discussion page with
feedback you have
gather on your project #4 imagery/content.
Your project file is labeled accordingly: Smith_John_Project
