This is arguably the most valuable section of the course. Rather than starting on a computer, the instructors champion "getting your hands dirty."

They show their famous process of creating logos using physical materials (like milk, wire, or paper cutouts) to create organic, living marks.

The course provides cheat sheets for color harmonies (monochromatic, complementary, triadic) and explains accessibility standards (contrast ratios for web and print).
