Sketchbook Follow-Up: Logo Design (UPDATE)

This sketchbook assignment will be due Friday, September 17 (for 4-A and Periods 1 & 2). If you are in 4-B, the sketchbook assignment will be due Monday, September 20. Remember that your logo design should be SIMPLIFIED into positive and negative space. It helps me to think about this as though I am designing something for a stencil or a stamp (bold, clear lines) instead of making a sketch or drawing, which could have lots of teeny tiny light lines.
