Logos and Posters - Research

Please take a look at these sites to begin your research. Remember that the first step in the Design Process is to UNDERSTAND YOUR GOAL!

Review the handout from Mr. McAlpine (your client) to recall the objective of the assignment.

Design a logo for Young Company AND a poster for one of or both of the plays for this season.

Deadline: October 15, 2013

Step 2. RESEARCH!

What do I research? In no particular order, research the following:

Gather your information on your blog, on your pinterest board (if you made one), or your tumblr (if you have one) for each of the areas below. Post the information so that I can access it, OR create a word doc and gather the info. Be prepared to share what you find on Thursday with the rest of the class.
