Blog Comment #1 Logo design from sketch to final design

I also feel that it is important to get out all ideas on paper first and sketch them before any other steps are taken. Sketching out ideas helps to see which ideas can evolve or eliminated, leaving more room for focus and concentration.

I myself was doing logo work for two of my classes and found that sketching out my ideas really helped when it came down to the second step, transforming the idea into print. By this time, I already had developed an image in my mind of what the logo would look like and was able to create what I envisioned.

Also, preparation instead of just jumping right into the initial design helps your ideas evolve. All the prior steps involved in developing something truely enhance your initial idea.
