Someone emailed me to ask what logos you’re supposed to sketching. These are for the logotype project, so they should be sketches of different ideas for ADK CafĂ©. You should have already completed phase one of the project (research on logos for similarly themed organizations and brainstorming 15 adjectives). The logo sketches you’ll share in class tomorrow are phase 2.

Several Small Things
announcements- If you want to work with angled guides in Illustrator, here’s how:
- View > Show Rulers
- Click on the top or side ruler and drag a guide onto the canvas.
- Make sure Lock Guides is not turned one (check View > Guides).
- Click on the Rotate tool in the toolbar.
- Click on the guide and drag left or right to rotate it.
- When you’re happy with how the guide is positioned, lock your guides.
- I’ve set up a folder (and subfolders) for the Elam variations you’re doing for each chapter. Name the files using this format: ChapterTitle YourLastName.ai (for example, Axial Johnson-Eilola.ai).
- Also, there’s a discrepancy about how many sketches you need to do for the first round of logotype design: One place on the site says six and another says eight. If you only did six, that’s fine.
Last Week’s Lupton Quiz
announcementsHere’s a PDF of the quiz from the first Lupton reading. You can refer to it to see if you think you would have passed the quiz if I’d actually remembered to bring it to class.
Google Drive Folder Fixed
announcementsI think I’ve fixed the issue with the Google Drive folder (I had two folders for COMM322 and linked to the wrong one). You should be able to access it if you’re logged into your @clarkson account—if there are still issues, email me.
