We are currently working on our third project for our VD class. So far we have designed our logos in Adobe Illustrator and combined them into a single PDF file. We started off by sketching our logos onto paper. We did 3 drafts for 3 types of logo style; iconic, composite, and wordmark; making a total of 9 logos. Once we did our sketch we transferred the logos into Illustrator. The way that we transferred our logos required us use the skills we garnered from previous labs using Illustrator. So we used skills such as drawing lines, curving lines, and editing vector shapes and text.
Once we were done transferring our logos we separated the logos into individual PDF files. The way we did this way copy and paste each individual logo into an Illustrator file and resized the Artboard to best match that of the logo. Each Illustrator file containg only one logo was saved as a PDF and a PDF file containg all 3 drafts of a single logo type was saved as a PDF, making a total of 12 PDF files. We were then introduced to a new program called Adobe Acrobat. In Acrobat we went to File/Combine into single PDF. Then we selected all the PDF files to be combined into a single PDF file. Once the combing was done we were done with a portion of the total work in our logo project. Stay tuned for the next part next time on Visual Design Jornal Z.
