Logo Project

 Logo Project: From Start to Finish

Here is what I started with, 10 sketches of logos that could be used to represent myself. Then we were tasked to narrow it down to the three that stood out most to us. 
I chose to combine two of my logos from the previous assignment and created the AP in the upper left corner where I added daisy's to the inside of the letters. This one did not really stand out to me though. Second I chose to bold the A and combine that with the P to create the second logo down. Although this logo was not super spectacular and I felt it was too simple. Lastly I chose to take the logo I created in the last assignment and rework it so that it looked like a peace sign with my initials in it. This is the logo I ended up using to create my final logo on Illustrator. 

On Illustrator I was able to create this logo in B&W.
My work reflects not only myself but also my childhood. I created a logo with my initials within a peace sign. Peace signs to me represent a sense of calmness and being grounded. Growing up my Nanie (grandmother) taught me these values at a young age and when I was young I became obsessed with peace signs, drawing them on everything and wearing clothes with it on them. Even today I bring these values into my life by practicing yoga and meditation. A sense of calmness and peace has always been comforting to me. 

As you can see above I have multiple color ways for each of the peace sign designs. Each of these will be helpful depending on what project I am using my logo on. Of course first we have the original black and white which will be used more often. Second I chose a light blue because it is a color that represents a sense of calmness and serenity. The third color way I chose reminded me more of fall but still keeping the peaceful tones. Lastly was more of a neutral color way that I feel could be used just as much as the black and white one. I chose neutral tones because I feel that they represent a sense of calmness and sort of bring an earthy tone that was important for me to incorporate. I used multiple Illustrator tools to execute this project including, the shape tool, pen tool and color tool. As well as Adobe to find certain colors that complemented each other.

Final Portfolio

Final Portfolio This is my final portfolio for FMX 210, a visual combination of all the work I accomplished this semester. I chose the portfolio template on Adobe Stock because I liked the simple layout and how I could incorporate the colors and fonts I decided to use. I completed this portfolio using Adobe InDesign, using the layouts set out by the template, only altering a few to match my plan. I added text boxes to the artist statements and placed all the projects into image boxes. I chose the colors I did because they tied all my art together and made the project appear to be professionally done. Adding headers in one specific font also tied all the pages together, making it seem like a magazine. Overall, this class has taught me so much helpful information; as a marketing major, I will utilize many Adobe platforms in my future career.

Ps HW 2

 Ps HW 2 Elaine Brown, 2009      This image stands out to me because of all the emotion behind her eyes and facial expressions. At first glance, we can point out that she is unhappy and looks miserable. The depths of her gaze show the pain she is in internally, and that is why I feel it is such a powerful image. The documentary taught me how close-up images of only a person's face can be so much more potent than a further away shot. Platon has mastered this technique, as seen in the documentary. His technique is powerful and shows the viewer the emotion of those photographed.     This image brought me close to my emotions because you could tell that there was something wrong, and Elaine did not seem happy. She seemed somewhat disappointed. She was chairman of the Black Panther Party, an organization that fought for equality and against police brutality. At the time she served from 1974 to 1977, there was a lot of racial tension within politics.  B...

Postcard

Image
This was my first project in InDesign, which was a great experience; we were tasked to create a postcard for an area in the U.S. experiencing complete totality for the solar eclipse. My home state was in the line of totality, so I chose to do a postcard for April 8, 2024, in Fort Kent, Maine. For this project, I was inspired by the sci-fi vibe of a solar eclipse. Therefore, I chose this AI-generated photo. I knew I wanted to do blue and orange because they are complementary colors, so I did the text in blue. I also added my tag brush logo onto the back of the postcard where the postage stamp belongs. Overall, this project came out great, and I am glad I went outside my comfort zone and chose more of a sci-fi theme. I used various tools in InDesign, but I found myself using the rectangle frame tool the most. It made creating text bubbles and a place to put the image easily.
