My Logo

Over the duration of this project many problems arose that required correction. Over many days the product was refined and altered so it would stand out. When using the computer software, all of the shortcut keys were crucial to success like command F, D, and Z. My friends assisted in coming up with a perfect design and the final product would not have turned out as well without their input.

When creating my logo, I made sure to use certain colors to convey a message to my viewers. I chose to use the two colors orange and blue to symbolize friendliness and trust, because my logo is for Josh's Gum ball Factory, which is centered for families. I tried to use a fun looking font and a circle representing a gum ball, and to show the wholesome feel of the company. I used the gradient fill on the circle to allow the illusion of a three dimensional gum ball. I put into consideration how the logo shouldn't be too complicated, and I pictured what the logo would look like on packages and bags so I can see what the viewer would think when they saw it in multiple forms. I thought that the font, having rounded edges and a welcoming essence would invade families to visit and feel wanted with this logo.

So far I have enjoyed being in E-Commununication, video and graphic design. I have learned many important skills when filming with video and the basics of color and what companies use in their logos to appeal to their viewers. I think even though creating projects alone is progressive,  talking with others and listening to their ideas is important input on how your project will turn out. Working with people every day is required, having input from all different people, critiquing your work so you can make changes to your work to make it the best it can be.

So far I have learned about text, logos, gradients, color psychology and  have become familiar with illustrator. I am excited to learn more about graphic design in the future, and hope to retain my skills throughout the rest of my life. Once I am finished with graphic design, I don't think I will go into a career directly related to the skills Im learning now, but I will find these skills useful later if I use a Macintosh.

My Type

When I took the font test, I found that there are many different fonts, all that contain different curves, lines, or shapes that can be incorporated.  I am rational, assertive, progressive, and disciplined which plays into what font fits me. My font is mysterious and may be difficult for some to understand, which is very accurate relating to my life. I am unknown and sometimes hard to understand but I am presented here, for people to decipher me in this world, and looking in wonder at what really lies beneath.
