My logo

The process

I was really excited to start this project because I've always wanted to create something of my very own. on the first day of this project we watched videos of other people creating logos. That helped a lot because after watching you knew what you had to do and you maybe even got a few ideas for your logo. Then we sketched out ideas in our sketch book of what we we wanted our logo to look like. I had no idea what I wanted to do but when I created my first idea other ideas just came. After that we choose three of our sketches to show Mr. Olsen and he talked about each one with us and gave of his opinion about which logo to use. he even gave us ideas of things to add to make the logo even better. Then we got on illustrator and started making our logo just using black and white. It took a while to decide what you wanted to look like, because certain things you sketch out may not look the same on a computer. you also have to choose fonts and sizes of certain things. Next we made different color variations of our logo. Again, it was hard to choose which color combination to choose but I finally picked one and then my logo was done!

Choices

It was very hard having to choose the colors, shape, and font for my logo. I chose the shape first, this was the hardest part for me. I was unsure which shape would represent my personality the best. Finally, I decided that a circle was the best fit, because the circle can mean connection, and eternity. For the colors, It was not question that I wanted the colors to contrast each other, and I definitely wanted to have a pinkish colored involved because I feel that it can represent warmth and love. For the font, I decided to go with something more cursive, but not very bold so that neither one of them would overpower the other, The rounder, thinner font also looks more professional, which can also represent how I act. After all of the different logos that I had, I am very glad that I chose this option, and I could not have imagined a better product.

On the first day we got our teams and started thinking of ideas that we could draw that would symbolize each one of us. But the symbols had to sort of have the same theme throughout the drawing. So we each came up with four ideas that we could use. Some were similar and some not at all. For my symbols I chose a red rose which means promise, a sun which I think means happy, a tree for nature, hearts for love, and an American flag for USA. To be similar we all tried to do nature related things but like I said before some were a little off topic. On day two our groups started sketching the things we wanted to draw on paper. Some things that people chose they didn't like anymore so they changes some symbols. What I did is I had a few symbols from the day before and I added some so that I could fill all of my space up. I We also had to decide how we were going to draw all of our symbols on the ground. We wanted to be able to tell that we all had different ideas so we divided our sq...

In this project we learned even more about using the six shots while filming. This video could be longer than the video we filmed for the creating a document, so we had a lot more time. Since we had more time we had to switch our angle of the shot more often. Because if you watched a video and all the shots were taken at the same angle it would be boring. In this project we had our character going all over the place where in the other one our character was only in the library. So we had more action in this video which was much more fun to film! When me and my other three partners were brainstorming and sketching for this project we had so many ideas that it was hard to narrow it down to one big idea! The first and biggest thing we had to figure out was where our characters would end up. Because we didn't want to be on one side of the school then have to find enough stopping points to get to the other side of the school and still have the viewer know where we were going. We edi...

Typography project The project We did this project so we could learn about different fonts and how there are heights for certain parts of the letters. Also that parts of the letters are called something specific, they don't just have the basic shape that you think they would have. We also learned how to make dashed lines and arrows on illustrator so that you could really see what part was where. What we learned We learned a lot during this project, most of it I stated in the paragraph above. But these specific things I really had to focus on because they were things that were apart of my name. These things are a bowl, crossbar, aperture, descender, shoulder, diagonal stroke, counter, finial, stem, and a serif. These were all things used to identify parts of my letters when using this font. We also learned about the sizing of letters like uppercase, x height, and the base line. Those are three heights that my letters hit. How was the project The project ove...
