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.

quarter 4 final project

Our Project For our final project, the teachers gave us teams of four or five, and assigned us with the task of creating a product. This may sound easy now but trust me, it was pretty difficult and had many different components to the whole project. Not only did we have to brainstorm ideas to make the product, but after we decided on the idea of making a hair growing shampoo called Ulu Lae , we had to make sure that our product would sell. We created advertisements, animations, logos, graphic designs, commercials, and even a website so we could really show off our product to the buyers. After all of this was created, we then had to present our ideas in front of the e9 teachers and anyone else in their classes, sort of like an episode of shark tank. This project had to be very thought out, and took mainly the whole fourth quarter to create, with rotations from the e9 teachers classes around every two weeks. Many people saw the more put together side ...

When we first got into our group, it took everyone a little bit of time to figure out what symbols we would want to use. For me, I already knew that I could use a dance shoe since I am a dancer, but I wanted to use something a little bit different. By the end of class that first day I had a few options that I liked a lot, a horseshoe for good luck and a red rose for hope, balance, and promise were a couple of them.  I was thinking that good luck is always something that everyone wants, which is why I chose the horseshoe. For the rose I knew that different colors had different meanings and I came to the conclusion that the meaning of a red rose fit what I wanted the best, especially since it symbolized hope. On the second day of this project my group finally started to combine our ideas into one symbol. It took many, many sketches but we finally found one symbol that we liked. The outside part of our symbol that tied everything together was a basket, our idea was to put all...

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...
