=Photoshop - Designing Logos= include component="page" page="menu-designsoftware" editable="1" include component="page" page="menu-photoshop" editable="1" South Carleton currently has two identifying logos

The crest represents the educational institution of SCHS
 * The "Crest"** is the official logo for the school. The torch and laurel leaves are symbollic, the latin is a motto.


 * The "Storm"** logo is a less formal logo - meant to convey power and ambition of the students and staff in the school. It represents the spirit of the people who learn and work in SCHS.

Strengths
 * Concept - the "Thunder God" - conveys power & spirit
 * Symbolism - Lightning, Motion
 * Integration of text with symbols - "SC" appears in TWO places

Weaknesses
 * Text appears "Hand Drawn" - Unfinished
 * "Storm" is obscured by excess lightning
 * "Thunder God" character can be misinterpreted

Exercise03
 * Right mouseclick and SAVE a copy of the existing logo to your H Drive
 * Open the graphic in Photoshop, and try to correct the first two "weaknesses" (ie - erase excess lighting - replace text elements with stylized fonts)

CHALLENGE:
 * **Use the design process** and develop a new STORM logo for SCHS
 * Be prepared to submit and present your logo in TWO DAYS
 * Create the logo on a canvas 11" wide x 8.5" tall @ 200 DPI
