Description
In this logo design course, I walk you step-by-step through how to create your own professional and unique text and/or graphical logo for your business, product, or other project.
What makes this course unique is that I show you how to create custom, professionally-designed logos without you having to purchase a pricey Adobe PhotoShop & Illustrator license. I work completely with the awesome & COST-FREE graphics applications, PIXLR & INKSCAPE, which were designed to mimic PhotoShop & Illustrator respectively.
Furthermore, the logo design skills you'll learn in this course will effectively prepare you to make a smooth transition into PhotoShop & Illustrator if or when you're ready.
AND, I even give you little peeks inside of PhotoShop & Illustrator so that you can see EXACTLY what you might be missing. :)
ALSO what makes this course unique is that I provide you with a COMPLETE logo design training experience that encompasses all of the necessary design planning & strategy you need to incorporate in order to create the most effective logo for your business or other project.
Together, we'll go from STRATEGY to SKETCH to MOCKUP to official DESIGN & PRODUCTION of your very own custom logo!
Let's Get Started! :)
Who this course is for:
- Entrepreneurs, business owners, designers, artists, makers, and more who want to learn how to create custom, professional logos for a business, project, product, etc. that will effectively showcase your brand, plus attract and connect with your ideal people.

And if you’re ready RIGHT NOW to use the awesome (and totally free) Pixlr & Inkscape to create your custom logo, I show you how to do every creative workaround in Pixlr & Inkscape to make them achieve the same results as you can using PhotoShop & Illustrator. :) ...
