Logo Design

This was my finished logo design. I kept it in black and white, because I am not sure if I want to add color, and if so it will correspond with the colors on my website.

Week 6 - Absent

I was not able to attend this weeks class. I am a little bummed about that because I know I missed new material. I plan on attending some tutoring sessions on Fridays so I can catch up.
