1. It took many different approaches and steps to create the logo. First, I went to Pinterest and Google to search for ideas to create my logo. Once I had gotten my ideas, I sketched out the first design for my logo and exported it to Illustrator. Once exported, I then began to create the shapes and letters and at that point I had started to bring my logo to life with color schemes and some effects. I then created my Resume and business cards using the logo I had created. 

2. A cut line is a line that shows where you are going to cut when you print the art board that you are using out. Anything within the cut line will not require cutting but anything outside will be cut. Overall it is a line that will be cut once printed. 

3.  Branding is a way you can express your business or company in almost everywhere. Logos play a big part and they are used as a message or symbol to get the average consumer to remember it wherever they go. For example, when you see the Mcdonald's logo, you can instantly remember Mcdonald's and that it is a fast food chain. The same thing applies to Apple. When you see the Apple logo you can instantly think about your Iphone or different apple products you use. A logo is made to bring a message to the consumer/customer.  Branding is always used for companies to bring their business and products outwards towards the market. 

4. I believe I deserve a 2 or 3. The logo is not looking the best and it doesn't look like much effort was put into the logo at all. I still am very proud that I am able to show it off on the wix website. The logo itself doesn't look appealing but it is something I worked hard on and so it doesn't deserve a 1 or below. Many different aspects come into play. I am not yet acquainted to the software but I still believe I can receive a good score.
