Assignment for this Thursday
Client: Georgia Tech College of Architecture
Assignment: Create a logo celebrating their 100th anniversary. The deliverable needs to be based on a 10×10 grid. The logo has to show progression. Black and white.
To make this easier, I set up an ai template. Replace the square pattern with your shapes.
Good place to start for inspiration: Wolfgang Weingart, Josef Müller-Brockmann, Karel Marten, John Maeda.
Please have 10 variations posted on flickr by Midnight.
Next week we’re meeting at Armchair.
Good luck!
