logo work
Hello this week in Wga we have been working on creating our own business. I worked with a friend Jhonas and Casey, we made a business called coffee delight and its a coffee cafe. We had to pick a color palette and a make our logo. we also had to fill out our mood board which has all our work on it and all the info on it. I enjoyed making this with my friends and working together with other people. I would absolutely do this task again and make a business with my friends but I would pick different colors and change the name. Over all I loved this task and all the different things that came along with making the name and logo of a business. My favorite part was drawing and designing our logo.
