Logo Project

The Process

During this project, we were tasked with making our own logo on Adobe Illustrator. However, there was a long process we had to undergo before we even got on Adobe Illustrator. We started off by creating a few rough sketches in our sketchbooks. We came up with a few ideas for shapes, colors, and fonts we might want to use in our logo, but for the most part we were just focused on getting some ideas down on paper. After that, we gathered a few of our best designs, and decided which one we wanted to work with on the computer. After we did this, we started experimenting with our idea in black and white. Once we had come up with a few variations of our design, we started to try out different colors for our logos. Lastly, we chose one of the designs we had made with color, and tweaked it a little bit until we were satisfied. After this was done, we had finally come up with our own logo!

My Final Design

For our logos, we had to take in account what different colors, fonts, and shapes might make people think about our logo. Therefore, we had to chose these aspects of our logo very carefully. In my design, I decided to use grey and blue for the colors of my logo. These colors can both represent professionalism. I also thought these colors complimented each other, and although they were not the most contrasting colors, I still thought they helped to create a very polished logo. After that, I had to choose what font I would want to use for my logo. In the end, I decided to go with a bold, san-serif font. The font I chose helped the letters stand out more than they would've with a thinner font, and also made the logo look a little more masculine. Lastly, in my final logo I decided to use a square with rounded corners. Squares are a shape that can symbolize stability, unity, and progress, which I thought would be pretty much perfect for the design and image I wanted to create. I decided to round the corners on the square because it helped the logo look a little friendlier, and almost portrayed a circle, which brought a lot of other meanings to my logo. As a whole, I think these aspects of my design really helped to make it better, and I am very satisfied with how my final product turned out.

ONW Now Sophomore Edition

This was definitely the hardest project we've done this year. Not only was the time schedule very hard to meet, but there was also just a lot of things that had to be done. I definitely learned a lot about all the work that goes in to making a good news show. I learned how much goes on behind the scenes, such as what is done in the control room and with the camera and teleprompter. Personally, I really enjoyed working in the control room for this project. It was definitely a lot of pressure to work completely on the go. I had a huge part in the live recording of the show, which was definitely stressful, but I still enjoyed it. After doing this project, I would say the most important aspect of a successful news show is organization. It is extremely important for everybody to know exactly what their job is so they can execute perfectly. It is also very important to have good communication among your crew. For example, we didn't do a great job at communicating with our anchors...

Vector Portrait

Pre-Production To start out with this project, I had to choose a picture for me to vectorize. I don't take a lot of pictures, so I didn't have a lot of pictures to choose from. I eventually decided to crop myself out of a picture with my family and use that for my vectorized portrait. Once I imported this picture, I brought it in to Adobe Photoshop. In Photoshop, I used the posterize option to clearly separate the differences in color. This allowed me to make more specific shapes that would eventually make my portrait look a little more realistic. Then I imported this updated picture into Adobe Illustrator. When I started in Illustrator, I had to make two art boards. Both of the art boards would have my original picture on it. However, one of them would have a decreased opacity, and that picture would be the one I trace over to create my vector. The other picture was simply used for reference, and to grab colors for my vector. Production When I first started this project...

Graphic Design Second Semester Review

Projects Typography For this project, we had to come up with quotes and then make four unique typography designs using various colors and fonts. We completed this project over the span of about 1-2 weeks. This project was difficult for me because I tend to get stuck on the same idea often, so when I came up with one design, I struggled to create other unique and interesting layouts for my type. I also struggled to find good colors to use for some of my designs. This project really helped me to learn much more about the use of type/text in designs. I learned how to make fonts stand out by using different font types such as script and serif. I also became much more comfortable with the pen tool as I had to trace certain graphics. For this project, I often asked my peers what fonts or colors they preferred so that my designs could look even better. With my original designs, most of them were very similar and did not include very many graphics. So, in order to make my designs more in...
