This month's EBSQ Live:
EFFECTIVE LOGO DESIGN For Artists and Craftspeople
hosted by EBSQ Self-Representing Artists and Lauren Cole Abrams
Monday,
12 September, at 9pm Eastern (6pm Pacific)
EBSQ Chat Room
Self-Portrait by Lauren Cole Abrams
Your logo is often the first impression you make on potential galleries and patrons.
So it's really important that it says what you want it to about you and your work.
That's not as difficult as it may seem, but there are a few tried and true essentials
that you need to be aware of in designing your own.
If you are thinking about designing your logo, or would like to update your existing one, I will
demonstrate some simple strategies for creating a successful logo that will help take the
mystery out of how to go about it.
As a graphic artist, I designed many logos. This will focus on layout and design, choosing a
typeface and ways to customize it, introducing graphics besides a font and how to put it all
together so it looks good on everything from a small black and white ad to a billboard!
As my most of my design work was done pre-computer, no computer skills are necessary.
This is all about what to do. How you choose to execute it is up to you.

EBSQ Live! Procedures
You can join the chat through the EBSQ website by simply clicking
on the chat button on the community page of our site. Pick a nickname
and select "login."
When you enter the chat please be patient as things get started.
During Live! presentations please refrain from saying
"Hello" to everyone who enters or "Bye" to everyone
leaving early. Though that is nice in casual chat it is not conducive
to staying within the schedule and you can always stay to visit
for Coffee Talk after EBSQ Live! wraps up!
As the Live! session begins there will be a short time for any announcements
and an introduction of the first presenter. Each presentation has
10-15 minutes scheduled and a 10 minute question/answer period afterwards
before the next session starts. Resources and visual images may
be included in some of these mini-workshops for you to click on
to open them in your web browser. Questions and comments will be
taken in order and if you don't get yours in then please feel free
to ask after Live! concludes. If you like what you are seeing and
want to have a copy of the information, then keep an eye out for
the Session to be posted on the web for you to review later.
Are you new to chat? Don't worry! It is as simple as typing. However,
you are not required to actively participate during the Live! presentations
so sit back and soak in the information.
EBSQ Live! Rules of Conduct
This is our professional forum for real time exchange and all conduct
should reflect this standard. Any inappropriate or abusive behavior
will result in the immediate removal of the offending party from
the EBSQ Live! session and may even result in a permanent ban. This
is not debatable.
If you have an area of expertise
and are interested in submitting an idea for conducting a future
EBSQ Live! presentation then please contact Melissa Morton at edu@ebsqart.com
