Learn to create a brand logo using your own personality-filled letters
The design of letters can go beyond the textual being mixed with illustration and digital techniques, and thus achieving a communicative purpose through purely visual images. This is the specialty of the designer, illustrator and lyricist Simón Londoño, who with his lyrics achieves powerful compositions of great visual richness that have led him to work with clients such as Renault, Asus or Les Fils Pernot, among others.
In this course, Simón will teach you to give identity to your brand from letters with character: from the conceptualization of this, to the final presentation of your piece for customers.
