PROJECT ONE: MARK COMPARISONS

Create a matrix on an 17"x11" sheet presenting your research of good and bad logos. You will need to find 5 logos for each of those categories (good/bad), covering each of the following business types:
  • Professional
  • Retail
  • Service
  • Non-Profit
  • Manufacturing
For the logos in the 'bad' row, you must research local (regional) businesses. These logos will provide the starting point for Project 2 and the basis of the entire class moving forward.

Project 1 will be due printed out on Wednesday, August 28 for presentation and discussion.
