Logo Project

 Final Logo:

 The 5 words I used to describe myself were loyal, artistic, empathetic, ambivert, and hodophile. I made a mood board and a sketch for each word (see below). I made the sketches by combining the aspects I liked from the images in my mood boards. My favorite sketches were for artistic and hodophile. I decided to go with the artistic logo because I felt like it was more representative of my character. My main inspiration for my final logo came from the bottom right and top left image on my artistic mood board. 

I started by drawing my body hunched down so that you can only see the top of my head and the top half of my body. I then added my hair curly because that is a distinguishable feature I have. I then added dripping paint to the bottom half of my body. I made the paint drips different lengths so that it added variety and interest to my logo. I then drew my right hand holding a paintbrush and painting on top of the dripping paint. This communicates to the viewer that I am painting myself which symbolizes my artistic trait. The color themes I used for my logo were found from looking through the explore panel on the adobe color website. I chose color themes that were bright, colorful, and fun because I believe those traits fit in with the artistic aesthetic.

    I think what makes my piece successful is that my logo is simple and appropriate for the word I chose to symbolize. I also think my logo is versatile because you can use a variety of colors on the logo due to the artistic nature of the logo. I believe my logo is timeless and memorable because it is easy to recognize and I can use it in any period of my life to represent who I am. My overall vision was to create a logo that I can use to help others identify me and I believe my design accomplishes that. Lastly, I really enjoyed making my logo and I will definitely be using Illustrator in the future for other logo designs.

    After looking at all of your sketches, it is clear to see that you are very artistic! I think you made a good choice in following the artistic theme in your logo. I think that your logo is very creative and I love the different color combinations that you used.

Autoscopy

       I created this image mainly using masking and adjustment layers on Photoshop. The main idea of the project was to take a photo of yourself and transform it into something you never knew of yourselves. The waterfall, sunflowers, brick wall, and water jug images came from unsplash.com. The two space images came from the NASA website. My composition communicates growth despite a bad environment, which is something I learned about myself this year.      I first started by creating a mask of sunflowers and putting them on my head as if they were growing out of it. I then used the displace filter and "multiply" blending style to mask the brick texture onto my face. Most of the images have an adjustment layer on them so that the colors are more vibrant and brighter. The two space images were taken near my birth date from the Hubble Telescope. I added them to my composition as symbols of myself and to give a  fantasy  feel to the image.  ...

Business Cards

Front Back Front Back                                        Front                                                                                         Back      The idea for this project was to make 3 unique personal business cards that incorporated my personal logo and the color palettes from my logo project. I made my cards using the Indesign software where I made a 3.5 by 2-inch document with 0.25-inch margins and an 0.125-inch bleed. The main tools I used are the pen and type tool. I used the pen tool to make the designs on the back of my cards and the type tool to print my name and a contact inf...

Portfolio

      The final project was to make a portfolio showcasing all the projects I made during the semester. I made this portfolio using InDesign. I had initially sketched a completely different cover, but as I began working I came up with a new cover idea. The idea for the cover was inspired by the Creation of Adam by Michelangelo.  The painting of the Creation of Adam depicts an image of God stretching out his finger to give Adam a spark of life. However, in my version, I am reaching out to touch the mouse I used to make the projects this semester. I made the image using Illustrator. I then added a cloudy background to match the heavenly scene within the original artwork.      The next two pages welcome and introduce me to the reader. I used the colors within the portrait of myself to color the font on the welcome page and the two squares on the corners of my portrait. The index pages utilize the cloudy sky background and layout the sections according to ...
