PROCEDURE

STEP 01
The LOGO size can be in any pixel dimensions (preferably high quality) in the ratio of 1:1.
REFERENCE FOR LOGO SIZE:
SD - 1280 × 1280 px
2K - 2048 × 2048 px
3K - 3072 × 3072 px
4K - 4096 × 4096 px

Similarly, for the Poster but in the A4 ratio!
REFERENCE FOR POSTER SIZE:
300 dpi - 2480 × 3508 px
350 dpi - 2894 × 4093 px
400 dpi - 3307 × 4677 px
600 dpi - 4961 × 7016 px

STEP 02
For this Act, you'll be choosing one of your hobbies to turn into a business and make a logo for it. For example, if your hobby is graphic designing, you can set up a brand with your name to establish yourself as a graphic designer and hence create a company of similar designers who'll be able to make designs for potential clients.

STEP 03
Please comment the hobby you wish to choose at the end of the chapter in the specified in-line comment ONLY.
+ Make sure that the same hobby hasn't been taken up by someone else. This is to reduce competition on the basis of uniqueness.
+ You can change your hobby later on to something that hasn't been taken already.
+ Hobbies can be anything apart from Graphic Designing.

STEP 04
Your Logo can be in any graphic style but your poster must be in the Blend/Scrapbook Style. If you don't know much of Scrapbook Style, my "not an angel ! a graphics archive" and "Rose's Wattpad Journal" covers have been executed in this style.

STEP 05
Once your logo is done, you'll be creating a poster to establish your brand and make it popular amongst the audience you wish to target.
But make sure not to pick a Victorian crowd! This is not a Historical Fiction round 😂😭
