Logo Design Practice - Random Letter (S, Shoe)

description
http://goo.gl/BBse40 - Design + Code a Professional Android App from Scratch * **Join DesignCourse Premium for 1-on-1 Design Training with Me:** http://goo.gl/beVJbe I put myself on the spot again with the random letter logo design practice technique where a random letter is chosen and I think of the first noun that comes to my mind that begins with that letter. The goal is to design a lettermark out of that letter and the noun. http://www.designcourse.com/videos/logo-design-practice-technique-random-letter-4/180 Follow us: Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/designcourses Twitter: http://twitter.com/designcoursecom Google+: http://plus.google.com/+DesignCourse Dribbble: http://dribbble.com/designcourse - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Subscribe for NEW VIDEOS weekly!
