| Start with market research, check competitive audit and brainstorm with the moodboards. You also need to research what trends and styles are suitable for your client’s particular needs. |
3. Sketching |
 |
| Sketch your ideas and experiment with the concept as much as you can (stretch your aesthetic limits). Filter them in two categories: good and bad. |
4. Conceptualization |
 |
| Transfer the two or three final logo designs from you sketchpad onto the computer and of course, that means Adobe Illustrator. |
5. Presentation |
 |
| Send initial concepts to the client to receive feedback. You can’t move forward without his ‘Go ahead.’ |

| Make changes in accordance with your client’s feedback. Refine the details and improve it visually to better communicate the message. |

 |
| Work on developing the aesthetic for final design. This includes color schemes, typography choices, and layout variations. Review your work. |
8. Final Product |
 |
| Send the final files to your clients. Use Vector instead of Raster. Smile.
