LogosDescription:Logo for an organization
Process:
I really had a fun time creating this project. I decide to do anothe logo becuase I love Illustrator. In this design I decided to do a logo for a local company here in Rexburg. Thursdays is a local clothing outlet and they sell Costco clothing at a dis-counted rate. I had a few ideas that I played around with until I came up with this. I really feel like the clothing hanger does a good job at describing what the store is all about while the price tag wording helps to tie in why you need to shop there.

I started out with some simple shapes in Adobe Illustrator. I cut them with the shape builder tool until I felt that my shapes were recognizable. I then contin-ued to format my document in in-design.
I decided to create my letterhead first. I brought it up to the top of the page and left aligned it so that my text wasn’t center aligned. Then I brought my logo in and placed it up in the corner.After that I added similar box at the bottom of the document to create contrast for the wording and repetition for the shapes.I then added a watermark to make my document seem more playful.
On my second page I used the Logo that I created and I also used the repeating boxes to create contrast for the wording and repetition for the shapes. I also turned my logo so that it appeared to be floating through the air.I feel like this helped the message become more clear.
