Logo Sketching

The next stage of the project was to start to develop ideas for the logo. During this process is where all my creativity comes into play. The challenge was how to simplify the concept of a city, subway line and the organization name.

This final version of the logo is the ideal representation of this organization. The logo is powerful but yet stylish and clearly depicted the idea of the subway transportation in Toronto.

Wireframes

Arranging elements, content and a simple navigation were some of the methods I used to create a single page website for all the information and a separate one for the volunteering forms.
