Overview
In this unit students will have to find a client to design a logo for. The client designer relationship is an important one because you're making "art" for someone else and not just you. Your feelings, likes, and dislikes are second to the client's.
Tips
Avoid large companies as they probably have a large PR and Design department for this and paid al ot of money for the logo they are using now. Examplesinclude:
Parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins small or very small businesses or hobbies. Many things here but could be a farm that sells vegetables or fruits, sewings, arts & crafts, accounting, pc repair, etc.
music teacher (piano, violin etc)
dance teacher or small studio, small school or juku, a tutor
a friend or family member who wants to be internet/sns/YouTuber famous
