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.

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 the Adobe software I used.  The co

Somewhere

     The basic idea of this project was to photoshop yourself into a tv or movie scene. I decided to insert myself with the female cast of the tv show Euphoria. This is one of my favorite shows from last year because the characters are so complex and realistic. I think it's quite hard to capture teenage characters, but this show does a good job of accomplishing that. Therefore, I took a picture of myself in a red dress and added myself to the bottom right corner.      The first thing I did was mask myself out and position myself so that my elbow was leaning on the table. I then added a few adjustment layers so that I blended better into the picture. I also put a glow filter on myself to match the bright highlights found on the other people. I then added horns so that I could look like I was wearing a devil costume. I tried to blend the horns by stamping my skin around the edge of where the horn meets my skin. I then added my reflection on the table by creating a duplicate of my mas

BW to Color

Square Analogous Complementary                      I created these images using the polygonal lasso tool and masking on Photoshop. The basic idea of the project was to turn a black and white image of yourself into a colorized version. The three color themes I chose are Analogous, Complementary, and Square. The technique that made these images possible was selecting different parts of the b&w image using the lasso tool and creating a new layer with a layer mask. After creating the layer mask you can create a new layer and color the area using the colors from your color palette.      I chose the warm-toned analogous color palette because my original photo was mostly warm-toned. Therefore, I wanted to see if I could incorporate that into the image but make it more stylistic. I then decided I wanted more contrast for my next one so I chose a complementary color palette. The pink and green really stood out from each other and made my image pop. The last palette was made using square co
