Yr8 Logo + Brochure

What goes in to a good logo? It must be easily recognisable from a distance and stand out when placed on colourful backgrounds (packaging, posters etc).
That means:

• a simple graphic design
• using few colours (2 or 3 usually)
• the company/brand name should be short too: 1, 2, maybe 3 words
• the brand name is part of the logo; the font used is very important

You can follow the PowerPoint below to learn more about logos. Once you have you need to create a snappy company name (your business is fixing, mending, improving, transforming photos - you can use your name, txt-style spelling, words linked to photography or improvment/change ...).

Once you've done that you can follow the instructions in how to use Photoshop tools to create a great company logo.
Make sure you save, and keep saving, your Photoshop work - any computer can crash. Press Ctrl+S every time you've made a major change you're happy with.

Think about background colours, and take care with your font choices; experiment with text effects too: you can make shapes with words.
