EPISODE 10:How to create a logo in InDesign

Overview

Logo is excellent to use to identify your brand or company. Usually, we would create a logo using Illustrator cc. Some of the tools are the same as PhotoShop and Illustrator. Remem-ber that Logos should be Vector to ensure a clean resolution.

Before creating a logo, it is vital to understand the basic C.R.A.P design principles (contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity). The contrast gives the image diversity and makes it more exciting and visually appealing. Repetition repeats visual design elements throughout, keeping consistency. Alignment connects and orders design elements, which makes the image sophisticated and clean. And lastly, proximity groups related design elements together, achieving a sense of organization.
