1. Initial Meeting. The first step is a meeting with my clients to learn about their business: the services they will offer and their target market. They want a modern, high-tech looking logo that includes the idea of a compass rose. This is a challenge, as I have already created a compass design for another client, and so must avoid similarity. I first look online for compass artwork, to see what's already out there. At this point I also encourage clients to present me with any ideas they have regarding the design—anything from favorite colors to pictures clipped from a magazine.
