Course Overview
Most design courses teach you the buttons. This one teaches you why a logo works, then shows you the buttons. You will complete a full identity project for an Afghan business brief: research, sketches, vector logo, colour palette, business card and a simple brand guide you can hand to a client.
What you will be able to do
- Draw precise vector artwork with the pen and shape tools
- Build a logo system that works at any size
- Choose type and colour with intent
- Deliver a professional brand kit to a client
