"Handing In" Your Family Crest
When you are finished creating your family crest, post it to your blog and include the following in your comment field.
1. What two symbols did you use and what do they mean to you?
2. What color combination did you use?
3. What tools did you use and where did you use them (minimum of 8)? eg: "I used the Live Trace tool to create an outline of the hammer..."
It would be a good idea to always save a copy of your work as an Illustrator file in your documents as well as the JPEG or PNG-8 file that you are able to post to your blog. That way you can go back and work on things or use them in other work. You may also want to create a digital portfolio of your work.

Hi class. Great job starting your blogs yesterday. If you haven't yet, choose a picture to add to your profile. That will make it easier for me to find you rather than a bunch of icons that look the same. I still need the links for:
Circular Logos
After you are able to create the Target logo, see if you can recreate any of these other circular logos. Copy and paste this image in Illustrator to use as a reference.
