My Logo Design


The Process

          When I first heard about this project I was actually really excited for what the outcome would be. We started out the first couple of days just watching videos and really coming up with sketches. Even though this probably sounds easy and low-key, it was actually pretty challenging. We had to keep in mind things like simplicity and if it would work in different colors. Not to mention if the whole design would look good on anything like a t-shirt, or storefront. Personally I had a large amount of ideas that I thought could work but once you try to sketch them they usually do not turn out, so it took me some time to come up with a few designs that I really liked and thought could be a good option for me. In the end of the sketching portion of this project I had come up with 4 designs that I was really satisfied with, and it was time to move on to adobe illustrator.

             Going to adobe illustrator I was feeling pretty confident that I knew what I was going to do, but it is really different once you actually start attempting to create the design. As you can tell, I narrowed my options down and picked the 2 that I thought would work the best. The first one was making a rose, and then putting my name inside of it. This was pretty challenging trying to figure out all of the shortcuts and how to actually make it look like a rose and  I didn't know if I was really crazy about it. So I tried my other option which I felt was a lot simpler than the rose, I took my first and last initials and and basically just flipped the R around, once I started working on this one I definitely thought that it looked really good, but I had to figure things out like the fonts that I would use and how to make a clipping mask and things like that. After I had an idea on these 2 logos I was ready to add color and finally decided which one I was going to use. 

Choices

While I was choosing my colors, shape, and font, my main goal was to make sure that the whole logo was very simple, but would stand out if you saw it. After learning about all of the different meanings of the shapes and colors, I felt like using a circle would fit me the best, due to the fact that a circle can show connection, and eternity. For the colors, I wanted to make sure that they would work together, and that they are not completely contrasting. But the purple background does help the pinkish color of the KR to stand out. I also likes the fact that the meaning of purple was more classic and profession, while the pink can symbolize love and warmth. With the font I wanted to make sure that it looked bold, but also a little soft. That is why I liked this font so much, it has the rounded edges, but also stands out compared to the rest of the fonts that I found. Overall I was very satisfied with how my whole project turned out.

personality types

My Personality Type After answering all of the questions on the test, the website showed that my personality type was ENFJ. It said that I was 3% more of an extrovert, 19% more intuitive, 6% more on using my feelings rather than thinking, and 16% more of judging something. When I clicked on the next website to see what a ENFJ personality type was like, it said a lot about how they were very helpful to other people and how they were really loyal. It also stated that these people often are the leaders of the group and like to take control of what is going on around them. Another page that I went to even had one word at the top that seemed like an overall summary of that personality type, and my word was teacher. That page also talked about how these people are very optimistic and how they put others before themselves. Overall I feel like this personality type describes me really well, I would say that I am very helpful to other people and that I am very positive and optimistic. I ha...

AB Sequence Video For this this project, the main task was to make another video, but this video had different requirements then our first assignment. For this video, we had a one minute time limit, and it was all about the sequence of the video and getting from spot A to spot B. We also decided teams in a different way, instead of having two people in a group, we had four team members and each one had a different task. Personally I was the person that filmed the video, which I enjoyed doing. Overall, everyone got along in our group very well, and we all collaborated and gave each other advice, which helped the whole filming process go a lot smoother. When our groups were decided, it took a little bit of time to map out and plan exactly what we wanted to do. After a few minutes we came up with the idea that since our group had two dancers in it, that the actor could go from the classroom, around the school, and eventually ending up in the flex theater where the two group memb...
