Research

How much research did you do last week?

How did this impact on the outcome of your design?

Exercise #1: A client is opening up a new Sudanese Restaurant in Wagga Wagga. You have been tasked with the job of naming the restaurant and designing their logo which will appear on the shopfront. The owner doesn't speak english and is relying on you to come up with an appropriate solution without her input.

•  List all of the questions you would like to ask the client on your blog
• Create a name for the business
• Design a suitable logo

Start working on the task as individuals

Discussion:
What were the users needs and constraints to consider?

What research did you find out?

What would have helped you to create a more suitable logo?
