Create Your Business

Your job for today is to establish a business where you create a product.  Many businesses also perform services, but for the purposes of this class (and later classes), your business will focus on creating an actual product that can be photographed.

What type of Product will you make? (5-min fast sketch)

Some industries are listed below.  Please identify a product that you would like to create.  If you don't see one on the list, feel free to choose your own.

• • Health & Beauty  (make-up, brushes, etc.)

  • Clothing (Pants, shirts, shoes, hats, jewelry, etc)

  • Food/Beverage (Soft Drinks, any candy, chips, fruits, veggies,, etc) 

  • Communication / Technology (Phones, cases, ear buds, computers, etc.)

  • Construction (Hammer, nails, bolts, nuts, metal, wood, etc.)

  • Art/Music (Paintings, Instruments, Sculptures, etc.)

  • Housewares (Furniture, Decorations, Utensils, Outdoor/Garden etc.) 

  • Pets/Animals (Bowls, Leashes, Toys, etc.)

  • Toys & Games (Legos, Action Figures, Dolls, etc)

  • Sports & Fitness (Equipment, diet/protein, fitbits, etc.)

  • Medical (instruments, tests, swabs, etc)

Now that we have selected a business and the product you will create, let's give your business a name.  (Brainstorm a list of names for your business, then PICK ONE!)

Now let's take that business name, and let's create your business LOGO.
