00:00:00,690 –> 00:00:01,790
Hey, my name is Kiril

2
00:00:01,790 –> 00:00:02,900
and this is going to be

3
00:00:02,900 –> 00:00:05,440
an introduction to LogoCore’s Masterclass.

4
00:00:05,440 –> 00:00:06,630
I am recording this video

5
00:00:06,630 –> 00:00:07,320
just to give you

6
00:00:07,320 –> 00:00:08,510
a bit of a better insight into

7
00:00:08,510 –> 00:00:10,520
of how this entire course is going to work.

8
00:00:10,520 –> 00:00:12,210
What you can expect to learn

9
00:00:12,210 –> 00:00:14,670
and pretty much give you a better introduction

10
00:00:14,670 –> 00:00:16,890
to this entire system as opposed

11
00:00:16,890 –> 00:00:17,908
to you just clicking

12
00:00:17,908 –> 00:00:18,489
around our site

13
00:00:18,529 –> 00:00:19,972
and getting lost, confused,

14
00:00:19,972 –> 00:00:22,446
and asking us for updates.

15
00:00:22,446 –> 00:00:24,605
So hopefully, this video can clear

16
00:00:24,605 –> 00:00:26,441
all of your questions up!

17
00:00:26,441 –> 00:00:28,303
To begin with, this entire course

18
00:00:28,303 –> 00:00:31,487
is going to be hosted on logocore.com/curriculum

19
00:00:31,487 –> 00:00:34,043
If we ever want to share with you an update

20
00:00:34,043 –> 00:00:36,354
or give you some more homework to work on

21
00:00:36,354 –> 00:00:39,189
or even have another video that we want to share with you

22
00:00:39,189 –> 00:00:41,322
it is all going to happen from this page.

23
00:00:41,322 –> 00:00:42,709
You don’t have to go anywhere else.

24
00:00:42,709 –> 00:00:45,494
Everything will always be hosted on this page

25
00:00:45,494 –> 00:00:47,645
to make life a bit easier.

26
00:00:47,645 –> 00:00:48,545
On the top right,

27
00:00:48,545 –> 00:00:50,216
you’re going to have course progress

28
00:00:50,216 –> 00:00:52,016
which will slowly fill up

29
00:00:52,016 –> 00:00:53,536
as you complete more videos

30
00:00:53,536 –> 00:00:56,106
and the first section of

31
00:00:56,106 –> 00:00:57,654
all of these little blue cubes

32
00:00:57,654 –> 00:00:59,164
are going to start talking about

33
00:00:59,164 –> 00:01:00,674
an introduction to Illustrator

34
00:01:00,674 –> 00:01:03,814
and really give you a chance to dive into each lesson.

35
00:01:03,814 –> 00:01:06,790
With each lesson, there will be attached homework,

36
00:01:06,790 –> 00:01:09,706
source files, corriculam material,

37
00:01:09,706 –> 00:01:12,576
and it is all going to happen lesson by lesson

38
00:01:12,576 –> 00:01:15,856
as you go through all of these numbered curriculum lessons.

39
00:01:15,856 –> 00:01:17,806
Keep in mind, some of the lessons,

40
00:01:17,806 –> 00:01:19,906
like user interface,

41
00:01:19,906 –> 00:01:21,907
might have 5 videos in them

42
00:01:21,907 –> 00:01:23,657
but all will be on the same topic

43
00:01:23,657 –> 00:01:25,777
of user interfaces.

44
00:01:25,777 –> 00:01:28,017
So we gona talk about the illustrator portion,

45
00:01:28,017 –> 00:01:30,407
dive into more complicated vectors,

46
00:01:30,407 –> 00:01:33,097
dive into the creative brief.

47
00:01:33,126 –> 00:01:35,753
( I have a dropbox paper here )

48
00:01:35,753 –> 00:01:37,841
We gona go into the pen tool the basics,

49
00:01:37,841 –> 00:01:39,481
the vectors will talk about RGB,

50
00:01:39,481 –> 00:01:42,426
color pallets, you will learn about it very soon,

51
00:01:42,426 –> 00:01:44,772
then we will start talking about design theory

52
00:01:44,772 –> 00:01:47,086
which stars to be a bit more complicated on

53
00:01:47,086 –> 00:01:49,626
the more complicated side of logo design

54
00:01:49,710 –> 00:01:50,949
when we will start discassing on

55
00:01:50,949 –> 00:01:52,946
what actually creates a good logo

56
00:01:52,946 –> 00:01:55,442
and how we can get to those sort of practices.

57
00:01:55,442 –> 00:01:56,367
But by then,

58
00:01:56,367 –> 00:01:57,671
you will have a very good understanding

59
00:01:57,671 –> 00:02:00,238
of how it actually fix any types of logos

60
00:02:00,238 –> 00:02:02,023
and you will be on your way

61
00:02:02,023 –> 00:02:04,508
to have a good understanding.

62
00:02:04,508 –> 00:02:06,684
Then we will proceed with the case study.

63
00:02:06,684 –> 00:02:08,992
We will take an example creative brief

64
00:02:08,992 –> 00:02:10,193
and work with the cliet

65
00:02:10,193 –> 00:02:11,540
and really see how

66
00:02:11,540 –> 00:02:12,545
to take a client who is just

67
00:02:12,545 –> 00:02:14,325
emailing you about the project

68
00:02:14,325 –> 00:02:17,251
leading to generate a creative brief,

69
00:02:17,251 –> 00:02:19,585
research the project, scatch the project,

70
00:02:19,585 –> 00:02:22,145
preproduction the final inturation

71
00:02:22,145 –> 00:02:25,226
until we have the final logo design.

72
00:02:25,226 –> 00:02:26,380
And the cool thing is

73
00:02:26,380 –> 00:02:27,726
that with this case study

74
00:02:27,726 –> 00:02:29,236
even though I am showing the project

75
00:02:29,236 –> 00:02:31,141
that may have been recorded a month ago

76
00:02:31,141 –> 00:02:32,951
and of course, you can not replicate it

77
00:02:32,951 –> 00:02:36,331
because you are seeing myself work on the project live.

78
00:02:36,331 –> 00:02:38,635
We do have a lot of creative briefs for you

79
00:02:38,635 –> 00:02:39,623
to choose from.

80
00:02:39,623 –> 00:02:41,983
So, all of these green boxes represent

81
00:02:41,983 –> 00:02:45,653
mock client scenario that you can download,

82
00:02:45,653 –> 00:02:48,403
go through, let’s see if I can open one right now,

83
00:02:48,403 –> 00:02:51,933
they represent the realistic creative briefs

84
00:02:51,933 –> 00:02:53,373
that you can practice on,

85
00:02:53,373 –> 00:02:54,813
take a look at the questions,

86
00:02:54,813 –> 00:02:57,823
the answers these scenarios provide

87
00:02:57,823 –> 00:02:59,613
and see if you can develope a logo

88
00:02:59,613 –> 00:03:01,283
for these types of companies

89
00:03:01,283 –> 00:03:03,023
and while looking at me

90
00:03:03,023 –> 00:03:05,383
tackle a similar creative brief

91
00:03:05,383 –> 00:03:06,673
you will have your own creative brief

92
00:03:06,673 –> 00:03:08,013
which you can practice on.

93
00:03:08,013 –> 00:03:09,163
And the cool thing is

94
00:03:09,163 –> 00:03:12,253
( because, LogoRore has been around for 4 years now )

95
00:03:12,253 –> 00:03:14,343
some of the briefs parallel sound

96
00:03:14,343 –> 00:03:17,303
have around like 400 logos design for it.

97
00:03:17,303 –> 00:03:20,493
So with many logos it gives you a good perspective

98
00:03:20,493 –> 00:03:21,983
if you are creating something unique,

99
00:03:21,983 –> 00:03:23,623
something that has not been done before,

100
00:03:23,623 –> 00:03:26,183
or something that should be polished up

101
00:03:26,183 –> 00:03:27,943
because you do not want to avoid the mistakes

102
00:03:27,943 –> 00:03:30,023
that you see in the previous student works.

103
00:03:30,023 –> 00:03:31,853
It is a very good way to practice

104
00:03:31,853 –> 00:03:33,240
and become a better designer

105
00:03:33,240 –> 00:03:35,720
as you watch the videos.

106
00:03:35,720 –> 00:03:37,940
After we go to the case study

107
00:03:37,940 –> 00:03:39,950
we will start talking about style guides,

108
00:03:39,950 –> 00:03:41,341
which when we start preparing

109
00:03:41,341 –> 00:03:43,181
this lager brand presentations

110
00:03:43,181 –> 00:03:45,371
so you can use these presentations

111
00:03:45,371 –> 00:03:46,981
to explain to a large company,

112
00:03:46,981 –> 00:03:48,691
how they should use your logo,

113
00:03:48,691 –> 00:03:50,385
where your logo can be used,

114
00:03:50,385 –> 00:03:51,815
how the logo should be used,

115
00:03:51,815 –> 00:03:53,775
by whom it can be used.

116
00:03:53,775 –> 00:03:56,605
The style guide really answer all of these questions

117
00:03:56,605 –> 00:03:58,395
and really brings up the value

118
00:03:58,395 –> 00:03:59,815
of the brand designer

119
00:03:59,815 –> 00:04:02,115
because only a brand designer can create

120
00:04:02,115 –> 00:04:03,675
these large booklets with

121
00:04:03,675 –> 00:04:05,385
really detailed information about

122
00:04:05,385 –> 00:04:07,255
how this logo should be used to

123
00:04:07,255 –> 00:04:09,345
maximized the companies profits or

124
00:04:09,345 –> 00:04:12,055
make sure that no one will see the company logo

125
00:04:12,055 –> 00:04:14,325
and be confused about who it belongs to,

126
00:04:14,325 –> 00:04:16,855
or the type of messages it conveys.

127
00:04:16,855 –> 00:04:19,595
Style guide conveys all of that information.

128
00:04:19,605 –> 00:04:22,915
Then we gona proceed into the presentation section

129
00:04:22,915 –> 00:04:24,585
when we going to tale the logo

130
00:04:24,585 –> 00:04:26,485
and create mockups and

131
00:04:26,485 –> 00:04:29,145
create a story around your logo,

132
00:04:29,145 –> 00:04:33,165
because even the final logo might cool for Instagram post

133
00:04:33,165 –> 00:04:35,295
it might not get you into the client

134
00:04:35,295 –> 00:04:37,445
you might not get featured on Behance

135
00:04:37,445 –> 00:04:40,495
and it might be just like a onetime thing.

136
00:04:40,495 –> 00:04:42,765
WIth a presentation we can tell a story,

137
00:04:42,765 –> 00:04:46,565
introduce new users or viewers to your design prosses,

138
00:04:46,565 –> 00:04:48,415
how you came up with the logo design,

139
00:04:48,415 –> 00:04:51,115
why you created a curtain design decisions

140
00:04:51,115 –> 00:04:52,195
and at the end of it

141
00:04:52,195 –> 00:04:54,165
you are going to have a beautiful presentation

142
00:04:54,165 –> 00:04:57,034
that you can hopefully post on Behance your portfolio

143
00:04:57,034 –> 00:05:01,327
and we can get you a future on Behance

144
00:05:01,327 –> 00:05:04,547
showing your work to a broader community

145
00:05:04,547 –> 00:05:11,607
and without being sent, perhaps, to a few clients.

146
00:05:12,997 –> 00:05:14,547
In this world of free lands

147
00:05:14,547 –> 00:05:16,097
everything is getting more and more complicated,

148
00:05:16,097 –> 00:05:19,327
free landsers are being hackled about

149
00:05:19,327 –> 00:05:21,767
their rates that they been lowered,

150
00:05:21,767 –> 00:05:24,736
there is a contract being involved, invoices being involved

151
00:05:24,736 –> 00:05:27,886
and it is important to know your values as a designer,

152
00:05:27,886 –> 00:05:29,206
how you can protect yourself

153
00:05:29,206 –> 00:05:31,606
and how you can get a very great rates to

154
00:05:31,606 –> 00:05:34,256
give you the time and the room to develop

155
00:05:34,256 –> 00:05:35,886
a world winning logos

156
00:05:35,886 –> 00:05:38,506
without being squeezed into a two-hour room

157
00:05:38,506 –> 00:05:40,196
or a period where you quickly

158
00:05:40,196 –> 00:05:41,726
have to come up with an idea

159
00:05:41,726 –> 00:05:45,526
because you did not get enough money

160
00:05:45,526 –> 00:05:47,426
or funds for you self to work on

161
00:05:47,426 –> 00:05:49,876
the project 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 2 months,

162
00:05:49,876 –> 00:05:52,166
whenever it may be…

163
00:05:52,166 –> 00:05:53,676
So, we gona talk about rates, pitching,

164
00:05:53,676 –> 00:05:54,756
how to send emails,

165
00:05:54,756 –> 00:05:57,256
how to get cliemts through cold emails,

166
00:05:57,256 –> 00:06:00,653
invoicing and contracts

167
00:06:00,653 –> 00:06:02,713
just so you have a very good understanding

168
00:06:02,713 –> 00:06:04,523
how to protect your self legally

169
00:06:04,523 –> 00:06:07,253
and make sure that you discase with your client

170
00:06:07,253 –> 00:06:10,223
about any types of terms that you want to include

171
00:06:10,223 –> 00:06:12,413
when you finish up the project.

172
00:06:12,413 –> 00:06:16,343
Les’s say that if the clients showcase the logo

173
00:06:16,343 –> 00:06:18,573
on some kind of portfolio site

174
00:06:18,573 –> 00:06:20,013
you want to make sure that

175
00:06:20,013 –> 00:06:21,353
your name is included.

176
00:06:21,353 –> 00:06:22,493
You want to make sure that

177
00:06:22,493 –> 00:06:24,293
you can post that logo to your own

178
00:06:24,293 –> 00:06:26,523
portfolio site without being suid or

179
00:06:26,523 –> 00:06:29,963
taken down by the client with the DMCA .

180
00:06:29,963 –> 00:06:31,643
It is important to protect yourself and know

181
00:06:31,643 –> 00:06:33,403
what you should be fiting for

182
00:06:33,403 –> 00:06:35,313
before you get paid

183
00:06:35,313 –> 00:06:37,043
and before you cape on the project.

184
00:06:37,043 –> 00:06:40,093
We gona cover all of these step by step

185
00:06:40,093 –> 00:06:41,293
easy to understand

186
00:06:41,293 –> 00:06:43,153
what template you can later download ,

187
00:06:43,153 –> 00:06:45,083
you just have to understand the theory and

188
00:06:45,083 –> 00:06:47,033
we will provide all of the paper works

189
00:06:47,033 –> 00:06:49,783
you do not have to spend hours searching online

190
00:06:49,783 –> 00:06:54,773
how to properly frase this certain section of the contract.

191
00:06:54,773 –> 00:06:58,783
We gona make it super easy for you.

192
00:06:58,783 –> 00:07:01,430
This is going to be a very new edition to LogoCore.

193
00:07:01,430 –> 00:07:03,380
We gona start talking about the portfolios,

194
00:07:03,380 –> 00:07:04,620
because we have noticed that

195
00:07:04,620 –> 00:07:06,910
all of the students can produce great work

196
00:07:06,910 –> 00:07:08,930
but they can not sell their work.

197
00:07:08,930 –> 00:07:10,810
And after they are trying to sell the work

198
00:07:10,810 –> 00:07:12,930
their portfolio does not have

199
00:07:12,930 –> 00:07:13,830
an email links,

200
00:07:13,830 –> 00:07:15,980
it is broken, it is blocked by Google,

201
00:07:15,980 –> 00:07:19,870
and it is very important to make sure

202
00:07:19,870 –> 00:07:22,740
that your logo, your brand and your portfolio

203
00:07:22,740 –> 00:07:25,930
are all outstanding, just so you can have a very stable

204
00:07:25,930 –> 00:07:27,640
courier as a free landser

205
00:07:27,640 –> 00:07:29,500
and you are not scraming around Dribble

206
00:07:29,500 –> 00:07:31,730
trying to get a new client’ job.

207
00:07:31,730 –> 00:07:32,880
Have your own portfolio

208
00:07:32,880 –> 00:07:34,390
and owning your own site

209
00:07:34,390 –> 00:07:36,650
and seeing how users come to your site,

210
00:07:36,650 –> 00:07:38,140
if they are clicking on ,

211
00:07:38,140 –> 00:07:39,610
what their interested in,

212
00:07:39,610 –> 00:07:42,180
maybe you have a bad project, maybe you have a good project.

213
00:07:42,180 –> 00:07:44,130
Theis entire section of portfolios

214
00:07:44,130 –> 00:07:45,970
will cover these ideas

215
00:07:45,970 –> 00:07:47,500
and make sure you have a long-term

216
00:07:47,500 –> 00:07:50,750
standing career as a free landcer without being sued,

217
00:07:50,750 –> 00:07:55,152
depending on the third party services for clients.

218
00:07:55,152 –> 00:07:56,702
That is going to be the introduction

219
00:07:56,702 –> 00:07:58,752
for the actual course flow.

220
00:07:58,752 –> 00:08:03,082
The idea is if you are the master class student

221
00:08:03,082 –> 00:08:05,232
we will give you the homework, the videos

222
00:08:05,232 –> 00:08:07,292
and you are just going to be a very self-taught.

223
00:08:07,292 –> 00:08:10,962
You are going through these lessons, move on to the next lesson

224
00:08:10,962 –> 00:08:13,072
and slowly move your way down

225
00:08:13,072 –> 00:08:15,702
until you get the curriculum of the grids,

226
00:08:15,702 –> 00:08:18,182
where you going to learn about golden ratios,

227
00:08:18,182 –> 00:08:21,092
and how to properly work with grids in Illustrator.

228
00:08:21,092 –> 00:08:24,222
You can complete the motions design section

229
00:08:24,222 –> 00:08:25,932
and you are pretty much free

230
00:08:25,932 –> 00:08:27,022
to do whatever you want from there.

231
00:08:27,022 –> 00:08:28,762
If you want to practice how to create the briefs

232
00:08:28,762 –> 00:08:30,302
you have full freedom.

233
00:08:30,302 –> 00:08:33,222
If you want to work on your portfolio-

234
00:08:33,222 –> 00:08:34,572
you have full freedom.

235
00:08:34,572 –> 00:08:36,912
You can really presume brand design

236
00:08:36,912 –> 00:08:39,202
however you want without too much of

237
00:08:39,202 –> 00:08:41,462
LogoCore supervision or help.

238
00:08:41,462 –> 00:08:44,322
If you are mentorship or guided student

239
00:08:44,322 –> 00:08:46,162
it is a completely different story.

240
00:08:46,162 –> 00:08:49,112
When you are going to start completing and watching the videos

241
00:08:49,112 –> 00:08:51,362
will be asking to send us your homework

242
00:08:51,362 –> 00:08:54,252
so we can send personalized video feedback

243
00:08:54,252 –> 00:08:55,292
back to you,

244
00:08:55,292 –> 00:08:56,942
make sure that you have not made any mistakes,

245
00:08:56,942 –> 00:09:00,642
there are not any issues that we have to really tackle

246
00:09:00,642 –> 00:09:02,602
before head, before we move into sections

247
00:09:02,602 –> 00:09:04,252
like clients creative briefs

248
00:09:04,252 –> 00:09:07,052
and the entire course becomes less self-taught

249
00:09:07,052 –> 00:09:09,642
and more supervised by me

250
00:09:09,642 –> 00:09:12,122
and other staff members at LogoCore.

251
00:09:12,122 –> 00:09:14,312
You will be assigned to a certain designer

252
00:09:14,312 –> 00:09:15,692
and you will work with them

253
00:09:15,692 –> 00:09:16,702
to really make sure that

254
00:09:16,702 –> 00:09:18,682
your work is polished on point

255
00:09:18,682 –> 00:09:20,872
and that you are not making any silly mistakes.

256
00:09:20,872 –> 00:09:22,702
We have homework for all these sections

257
00:09:22,702 –> 00:09:24,312
and we would ask you if you are

258
00:09:24,312 –> 00:09:26,312
a mentorship or guided student

259
00:09:26,312 –> 00:09:28,552
to submit every single piece of homework

260
00:09:28,552 –> 00:09:30,572
so we can track how well you are doing,

261
00:09:30,572 –> 00:09:32,582
if you need any additional help

262
00:09:32,582 –> 00:09:33,832
and really make sure that

263
00:09:33,832 –> 00:09:34,982
you are selling yourself up

264
00:09:34,982 –> 00:09:37,222
for successful free lands career.

265
00:09:37,222 –> 00:09:38,482
If you are a mentorship as well

266
00:09:38,482 –> 00:09:40,662
we have a lot of personal style guides

267
00:09:40,662 –> 00:09:42,722
and project file that we share with you

268
00:09:42,722 –> 00:09:43,942
just to make your life easier

269
00:09:43,942 –> 00:09:47,372
when you start tackling larger style guide projects

270
00:09:47,372 –> 00:09:49,992
just to save your time.

271
00:09:49,992 –> 00:09:51,242
So , we have a few cool things for

272
00:09:51,242 –> 00:09:53,212
mentorship and guidens students :

273
00:09:53,212 –> 00:09:54,742

274
00:09:54,742 –> 00:09:56,392

275
00:09:56,392 –> 00:09:58,112
user interface mockups,

276
00:09:58,112 –> 00:10:01,502
we have brand guide templates

277
00:10:01,502 –> 00:10:04,122
available to download as well …

278
00:10:04,122 –> 00:10:07,042
The sample contract all the scripts

279
00:10:07,042 –> 00:10:08,552
are available to all students

280
00:10:08,552 –> 00:10:10,192
that all of you have a resources

281
00:10:10,192 –> 00:10:12,382
at least to start a successful free lands career

282
00:10:12,382 –> 00:10:14,002
even though we might not just have a time to

283
00:10:14,002 –> 00:10:16,962
individually record video feedback.

284
00:10:16,962 –> 00:10:18,072
Keep in mind

285
00:10:18,072 –> 00:10:20,012
no matter what level student you are

286
00:10:20,012 –> 00:10:21,852
you are always welcome and

287
00:10:21,852 –> 00:10:23,842
very much encouraged to send us an email,

288
00:10:23,842 –> 00:10:27,482
send us questions and we hopefully get you back on track,

289
00:10:27,482 –> 00:10:31,372
answer them and make sure you are billing yourself up

290
00:10:31,372 –> 00:10:33,722
for a successful free lands career.

291
00:10:33,722 –> 00:10:35,592
You can do that all through email

292
00:10:35,592 –> 00:10:37,552
that is the way we run the LogoCore

293
00:10:37,552 –> 00:10:40,322
so you see these little parents right here “send message”.

294
00:10:40,322 –> 00:10:42,012
If you click on it you will be prompted to

295
00:10:42,012 –> 00:10:44,372
“enter your details ” and “enter your question”

296
00:10:44,372 –> 00:10:46,372
and will instantly receive it.

297
00:10:46,372 –> 00:10:48,282
It will go to inbox and we will start

298
00:10:48,282 –> 00:10:50,632
tackling them every single day in the morning.

299
00:10:50,632 –> 00:10:52,732
You can usually expect LogoCore

300
00:10:52,732 –> 00:10:57,342
to answer emails in 1-3 business days.

301
00:10:57,342 –> 00:11:00,222
We usually try for 1 business day

302
00:11:00,222 –> 00:11:02,172
but sometimes we get a lot of questions

303
00:11:02,172 –> 00:11:05,092
and answering one student, sometimes tales us

304
00:11:05,092 –> 00:11:08,042
up to 2 hours to properly understand the problem,

305
00:11:08,042 –> 00:11:10,102
record proper video feedback to them

306
00:11:10,102 –> 00:11:11,912
and then to continue the discussion.

307
00:11:11,912 –> 00:11:13,892
If we have 10 students in one day emailing us

308
00:11:13,892 –> 00:11:15,182
it gets really tough,

309
00:11:15,182 –> 00:11:19,892
so we can have a 1 to 3 business days buffer.

310
00:11:19,892 –> 00:11:24,522
We often showcase student work on the Instagram, on the Facebook,

311
00:11:24,522 –> 00:11:26,292
so you can submit your work as well

312
00:11:26,292 –> 00:11:27,812
and it will post it down here,

313
00:11:27,812 –> 00:11:30,742
we will post it on Instagram, we will post it on Facebook

314
00:11:30,742 –> 00:11:34,282
and that way you can connect with more students as well.

315
00:11:34,282 –> 00:11:39,102
Speaking of students we have

316
00:11:39,102 –> 00:11:41,422
a lot of resources at LogoCore

317
00:11:41,422 –> 00:11:43,912
to help you to understand

318
00:11:43,912 –> 00:11:46,192
the visual identity design a bit better.

319
00:11:46,192 –> 00:11:49,042
So the cool thing is that we have a community

320
00:11:49,042 –> 00:11:52,232
you can join for free

321
00:11:52,232 –> 00:11:53,282
in discord channel

322
00:11:53,282 –> 00:11:55,372
and you can connect with other designers,

323
00:11:55,372 –> 00:11:56,512
share your work,

324
00:11:56,512 –> 00:12:00,262
ask for help that does not include a LogoCore instructors

325
00:12:00,262 –> 00:12:02,472
and generally, meet other designers

326
00:12:02,472 –> 00:12:04,442
and hopefully, create some new friendships.

327
00:12:04,442 –> 00:12:05,782
Because if you have a lot of friends

328
00:12:05,782 –> 00:12:07,282
and you are really shearing your work

329
00:12:07,282 –> 00:12:08,182
and pushing each other

330
00:12:08,182 –> 00:12:11,952
you just going to have a much easier time of logo design.

331
00:12:11,952 –> 00:12:14,042
Learning alone is not really fun

332
00:12:14,042 –> 00:12:15,642
so, hopefully the community

333
00:12:15,642 –> 00:12:18,302
can help you to get more reworded

334
00:12:18,302 –> 00:12:20,332
and more interested in the design

335
00:12:20,332 –> 00:12:22,882
when you are friends to pack you up.

336
00:12:22,882 –> 00:12:25,912
We also have designer tools

337
00:12:25,912 –> 00:12:28,272
and this is just a very long list of tools

338
00:12:28,272 –> 00:12:29,902
that we compile and

339
00:12:29,902 –> 00:12:33,162
we wont to share with logo designers.

340
00:12:33,162 –> 00:12:34,512
So these designer tools include

341
00:12:34,512 –> 00:12:37,032
everything from vectoring software

342
00:12:37,032 –> 00:12:39,532
to mockups, we really recommend,

343
00:12:39,532 –> 00:12:41,812
free landcing sites to help you lend job,

344
00:12:41,812 –> 00:12:43,242
portfolio sites,

345
00:12:43,242 –> 00:12:44,712
the community you can joint,

346
00:12:44,712 –> 00:12:46,312
where you can get domains

347
00:12:46,312 –> 00:12:49,399
for your own site, your own portfolio,

348
00:12:49,399 –> 00:12:52,299
hosting, services to get you paid.

349
00:12:52,299 –> 00:12:53,509
All sort of things.

350
00:12:53,509 –> 00:12:54,599
I things it is very helpful

351
00:12:54,599 –> 00:12:56,819
and it is good to have everything on one page

352
00:12:56,819 –> 00:12:58,579
just so if you need a mockup

353
00:12:58,579 –> 00:13:01,029
and you can not really find a great mockup online

354
00:13:01,029 –> 00:13:01,819
you are always know

355
00:13:01,819 –> 00:13:03,339
that there is a site onLogoCore,

356
00:13:03,339 –> 00:13:05,689
we can quickly go through sites to find

357
00:13:05,689 –> 00:13:10,599
the exact image that you want.

358
00:13:10,599 –> 00:13:13,819
The Logo challenge is a cool this as well.

359
00:13:13,819 –> 00:13:15,959
If you want to practice a logo design

360
00:13:15,959 –> 00:13:18,039
and you are really are starting to run out of

361
00:13:18,039 –> 00:13:19,019
another creative briefs

362
00:13:19,019 –> 00:13:20,259

364
00:13:21,959 –> 00:13:23,289
and LogoCore designers

365
00:13:23,289 –> 00:13:24,549

the company a bit more

369
00:13:31,489 –> 00:13:32,719
and the challenge is

370
00:13:32,719 –> 00:13:33,839
that you can submit

371
00:13:33,839 –> 00:13:35,669
a final polished logo

372
00:13:35,669 –> 00:13:38,439
back to LogoCore

373
00:13:38,439 –> 00:13:40,429
to kind of complete and answer the brief

374
00:13:40,429 –> 00:13:44,629
before the next day will you receive the next logo challenge.

375
00:13:44,629 –> 00:13:47,299
It pushes you through your limits

376
00:13:47,299 –> 00:13:49,039
and see how fast you can work,

377
00:13:49,039 –> 00:13:53,569
and how fast you can actually come up with your ideas.

378
00:13:53,569 –> 00:13:57,919
We also have a HUGE discount on Adobe products

379
00:13:57,919 –> 00:13:59,459
which is supper cool.

380
00:13:59,459 –> 00:14:03,259
So, instead of paying $53.00 a month

381
00:14:03,259 –> 00:14:07,109
for Photoshop, Illustrator, Aftereffects, Behance portfolio

382
00:14:07,109 –> 00:14:08,639
and all of the apps

383
00:14:08,639 –> 00:14:10,909
you can get everything for the lower price of

384
00:14:10,909 –> 00:14:12,479
$20.00 per month

385
00:14:12,479 –> 00:14:14,899
so, that is around 60% discount

386
00:14:14,899 –> 00:14:17,729
and it is supper worth it.

387
00:14:17,729 –> 00:14:19,829
Just click Adoby, sign up through us

388
00:14:19,829 –> 00:14:21,979
and you will get a discount.

389
00:14:21,979 –> 00:14:23,969
And finally,

390
00:14:23,969 –> 00:14:26,339
we have pricing calculator.

391
00:14:26,339 –> 00:14:27,859
This is my favorite additions

392
00:14:27,859 –> 00:14:29,649
that we add to LogoCore .

393
00:14:29,649 –> 00:14:31,079
Pricing calculator allows you

394
00:14:31,079 –> 00:14:33,779
to submit your client project,

395
00:14:33,779 –> 00:14:35,229
that you trying to tackle

396
00:14:35,229 –> 00:14:38,139
and this is one of our own creative briefs

397
00:14:38,139 –> 00:14:40,229
that is our real client project

398
00:14:40,229 –> 00:14:41,329
that you have been payed for.

399
00:14:41,329 –> 00:14:43,269
You can write the area of business,

400
00:14:43,269 –> 00:14:45,329
the project, how much you understand

401
00:14:45,329 –> 00:14:46,369
about the client,

402
00:14:46,369 –> 00:14:48,099
if it is a small start-up,

403
00:14:48,099 –> 00:14:51,059
if you had an experience before

404
00:14:51,059 –> 00:14:54,229
and this calculator combines all of the info

405
00:14:54,229 –> 00:14:58,109
and tries how much you should be charging.

406
00:14:58,109 –> 00:15:01,389
We have collected around 30,000 entry so far

407
00:15:01,389 –> 00:15:02,259
and I have to say

408
00:15:02,259 –> 00:15:03,999
it is around 80% accurate

409
00:15:03,999 –> 00:15:06,619
because we combine your information,

410
00:15:06,619 –> 00:15:09,949
we use the calculator and a very sufesticated system

411
00:15:09,949 –> 00:15:11,249
to guess the rate

412
00:15:11,249 –> 00:15:13,609
and we look at other designers rates

413
00:15:13,609 –> 00:15:16,519
next to you or in the same neighboring country core

414
00:15:16,519 –> 00:15:18,469
working on similar projects and

415
00:15:18,469 –> 00:15:20,019
trying to push your rate

416
00:15:20,019 –> 00:15:21,109
closer to their’s,

417
00:15:21,109 –> 00:15:22,409
so you are not charging

418
00:15:22,409 –> 00:15:24,159
too low or so much

419
00:15:24,159 –> 00:15:26,179
that you might not win that client.

420
00:15:26,179 –> 00:15:28,589
Personally, I think it is a very cool tool

421
00:15:28,589 –> 00:15:30,489
and it will help you to really bust your confidence

422
00:15:30,489 –> 00:15:32,079
if you ever working with a client

423
00:15:32,079 –> 00:15:32,999
and it feels like

424
00:15:32,999 –> 00:15:35,109
you should not be charging $200.00

425
00:15:35,109 –> 00:15:37,379
for this company that has 20 employees

426
00:15:37,379 –> 00:15:39,519
but do this calculator.

427
00:15:39,519 –> 00:15:42,369
It shows that you can be charging $900

428
00:15:42,369 –> 00:15:43,279
and all of a sudden

429
00:15:43,279 –> 00:15:45,719
your self-esteem goes up

430
00:15:45,719 –> 00:15:46,869
and you are able to charge

431
00:15:46,869 –> 00:15:48,099
what you are actually worth

432
00:15:48,099 –> 00:15:50,399
and not what you are actually think

433
00:15:50,399 –> 00:15:52,059
the client is willing to pay.

434
00:15:52,059 –> 00:15:53,779
Which is a very important think in

435
00:15:53,779 –> 00:15:55,119
logo design and

436
00:15:55,119 –> 00:15:56,829
really any type of feel is

437
00:15:56,829 –> 00:16:02,849
that you have to know your worth.

438
00:16:02,849 –> 00:16:05,319
That is the whole basic of LogoCore.

439
00:16:05,319 –> 00:16:08,478
I am going to be teaching the rest of the lessons.

440
00:16:08,478 –> 00:16:13,568
Remember, you can always open up the curriculum site,

441
00:16:13,568 –> 00:16:15,448
like I have here.

442
00:16:15,448 –> 00:16:17,618
Just click “log in” from the top.

443
00:16:17,618 –> 00:16:20,708
You can go to the curriculum portion

444
00:16:20,708 –> 00:16:24,338
and just start tackling the videos

445
00:16:24,338 –> 00:16:26,058
one by one down here.

446
00:16:26,058 –> 00:16:28,218
You can send me homework through the video itself

447
00:16:28,218 –> 00:16:30,368
or scroll down all the way to the bottom

448
00:16:30,368 –> 00:16:31,798
and you will see

449
00:16:31,798 –> 00:16:34,508
there will be a section here

450
00:16:34,508 –> 00:16:36,168
to submit your homework.

451
00:16:36,168 –> 00:16:38,118
Homework for general, animation

452
00:16:38,118 –> 00:16:40,368
is slightly different.

453
00:16:40,368 –> 00:16:41,918
It … many more files

454
00:16:41,918 –> 00:16:43,918
and if you need any design feedback,

455
00:16:43,918 –> 00:16:45,748
if you are working on the personal project

456
00:16:45,748 –> 00:16:47,678
for your university or college

457
00:16:47,678 –> 00:16:49,568

458
00:16:49,568 –> 00:16:51,058
just send it over and we will record

460
00:16:52,998 –> 00:16:56,108
straggling with or might need help on.

461
00:16:56,108 –> 00:16:56,758
That is pretty much it.
