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.

self performance review

Self performance review Project 1 For one of my projects we were assigned to take ten pictures and then put then together to create a panorama. I chose to use pictures that I took of New York over spring break. The project took around a week to complete. I faced a few challenges with my design. It was hard to find somewhere to start because I had a lot goin on in my pictures. I found that the pictures I chose had a lot of buildings so I had to include some other pictures I took from the vacation so I would have a variety of pictures in my panorama. Doing this project I learned a lot about photoshop. With putting multiple pictures together you have to make sure they blend. I started to use the blend tool as I put certain pictures together. Sometimes the blend tool wouldn't work so I would use the clone stamp tool to take parts of a picture and put it on the picture next to it. I was told to so...

How to create and print a document

For this assignment we had to make a video about how to create and print a document in thirty seconds. We had two parts to this project. Part A was making a story board including sketches of where the scene would take place and what kind of shot we would be filming in. After we got that approved we took the I pad and took pictures using the main points that we had down on our storyboard. After those pictures were taken we made a google slides showing the pictures we took. We also had to list what type of shot it was and what the actor was doing in the shot. Part B was actually making the video.We used every spot that we had pictures of on our story board and google docs except made those shots into a video. So we had to show more of the transitioning which was mostly walking inbetween our shots. After filming day we uploaded our videos to the computers. We used Adobe premiere pro to put the videos together. We had to do a lot of trimming and adjusting the videos to get it thirty seco...

final blog

graphic design final reflection blog One of my favorite parts about graphic design was making the vector illustrator portrait. For this project we had to choose an image of ourselves, a family member, or a family pet. We then had to choose if we wanted to do an organic vector which is tracing the facial features on the objects face or a low poly geometric vector which is when you make lots of different and tiny triable on the subject. I chose to do the low poly geometric because I felt it would look better on my dog. It took me around two weeks to complete this project. I was gone towards the end of the first week, if I wasn't gone I most likely would have finished the project sooner. I faced a few challenges along the way. At the very beginning of the project I didn't know how big to make the triangles. I decided to do small triangles on my dogs features and bigger triangles on my dogs body. Another challenge I faced was having all of my triangles looking very similar whic...
