ART 3430 Graphic Design I

First assignment

Take a look at the best and worst redesigned identities of 2009. This is according to the web site under consideration. Your first assignment is to review the list and pick one conclusion you agree with and one conclusion you disagree with. Be sure to choose one from the “worst” of the list and one from the “best.” In class we will have you tell us why you agree or disagree. Also be prepared to tell us why you think the logo is effective or ineffective.
