Step 1: Concept
1. Brainstorm at least 5 words to describe you. They can be positive attributes that you possess, eg. generous, studious, outgoing and/or your interests, eg. music, volleyball, dance etc. Type your list in WordPerfect then pick one or two that you will reflect in your logo.
2. In order to generate logo ideas, search online for Combination Logos, ie. logos that contain a symbol and name or symbol and initials. Copy/paste 5 logo samples into WordPerfect.
3. Add an appropriate title at the top of this document and type your name under the title. Print and have your concept approved before continuing to Step 2.
Step 2: Form
1. Part A: Preliminary Sketches
  - Your logo must include a symbol and your name or your initials. It must be clear even when sized to 1 inch, so don't make it too complex.
  - Hand draw 4 preliminary sketches in your notebook. Put them all on one page to force yourself to make them clear when small. Either colour them or indicate with labels what colours you will use.
  - Put a star beside the one you have decided is your best.
  - Have your sketches approved by your teacher before continuing.
2. Part B: Variations
  - For the one design that you have picked above, hand draw 4 VARIATION sketches. Sketch all 4 on one page. Either colour or indicate with labels the colours you will use.
  - You will now have your original choice as well as 4 variations of it.
  - , decide which will be your final design. indicate
3. Part C: The Product
  - Out of all 8 of your sketches decide on your final choice, the one that you have chosen as your final design; the one that you will create in Corel Draw.
  - Colour this sketch.
  - Resubmit for approval all sketches, with your final choice coloured.
Step 3: Content--Your Final Logo
- In Corel Draw, create your final design logo.
- Make it no more than 2" by 2" (5 cm x 5 cm). An easy way to do this is to draw a 2" x 2" square (5 cm x 5 cm) > line up your guidelines to this square > delete the square > now you have your workspace.
- Save the file as yourlastname-logo
