After a long discussion about time planning, and time planning methods and such as a group we then set our first “Group Goal” by the next lesson on Wednesday we have to have completed a shortlist of logos, to be exact four ideas. So this week I have been running towards this goal.
I would like to apologise to my Feedback group for being AWOL on Thursday and missing our meeting, but I hope it went well, unfortunately it couldn’t be helped.
After not managing turning in on Thursday I set in my mind that I at least had to get some work done at home, but it took me quite a while to feel up to it, but that evening I did grab my sketch book and begin to start my design process, of illuminating designs to reach the goal set. I have also to make up for my absence on Thursday, spent today doing work. Which I wouldn’t normally do on a Friday but I have had the day off work, and use it as a college gain.
I now believe I have some kind of shortlist that hopefully four of the logo designs within there will be what I will be showing on Wednesday. But it’s one step at a time and there is much more work today before I decide on what to pick. I plan that after this it will be a little researching, at various fonts and colours I could possibly use, so I will get on with that as soon as I can.
I also plan to have a little time using Freehand, to possibly have my designs DTPED but if not just to get a feel for the software as I have not used it before, whether it be at college one day or if I manage to get my hands on a copy, but it will surly benefit me if I can do this. I’m finding this logo creating business quite difficult at times, there is so much to think about; I’m starting to see my thumbnail sketches, as more towards the useless pile than the possible pile. But I guess I can’t dwell on what i have done, and I guess this is where the designing for commercial use comes in, rather than designing for personal pride at the moment.
Anyway I must crack on I have loads of work to do. Jamie

I wasn't happy with my initial rough ideas as well but the best thing to do is just keep at it and you will eventually find a theme and design that you like and what best suits this assignment. Good luck!
I found out that the approach I took was more benificial to me. A bit too late to change now but the way I did it allowed me to create loads of different variations of designs. I created loads of initial designs and then had people choose the 10 or 12 they liked. I then looked at the 10 logos and changed them around even more.
To me this method works better for some tasks more than others. Give it a try sometime, it mite be useful.
I've managed to decide on four ideas for wednesday, but I have a feeling that they are all too similar to each other. So I'm not too sure what to do now, I guess I have to stick with it though
