If I could improve the work I would take more care when writing, as the lettering on the word "Google" looks a little sloppy and mismatched. Overall I am content with how the logo turned out, seeing as it was recognisable, but there is always room for a lot more improvement in the way I had drawn it.

Google Project - The Beatles Evaluation
The Google logo I designed was all about The Beatles. My initial idea was to either draw inspiration from either the yellow submarine or the Abbey Road crossing picture - both of which are two iconic images that have strong connotations to the band, however the former was already drawn up by another person doing the same project, so I had to adapt and use my second idea. I think the logo turned out well - those that gave me feedback had known the logo was to do with The Beatles straight away, so I think it was effective in that way.

What is the minimum resolution to scan artwork for print? For a website? Why?
The minimum for a website is 72 dpi (dots per inch) and for print, the minimum is 300 dpi.
If producing a vector based logo for a client which program would you use? Why?
Illustrator as it deals with mathematical shapes for graphics and can handle large amounts of data.
If you're improving the quality of an old, faded and damaged photograph. Which program would you use? Why (which tools)?
I would use Photoshop and the filter tools, along with dodge and sharpen to improve the image. It might also help to use the colour replace tool.
If you are producing an 8 page magazine for an assignment which program would you use and why?
I would use Illustrator as it is the easiest to arrange layouts and handle pages of data.
