Artist statement
v In this project we had to come up with a logo that shows our personality. We talked about what makes a good logo design and looked at examples from there we designed 40 logos as samples and ideas. Then later used Adobe Illustrator. I picked the type of font I wanted my logo to have then used pen tool to add a couple things and added color to it. My final has three logos with different color schemes.
v I leaned how to use the Blob brush tool to create extra curvy lines on the font that I had. I learn to use the gradient tool to play around see how my logo would look with it but I changed my mind about it. I had a difficult time with the pen tool to make my arrow but I got the hang of it, I learned to make straight line an d to connect them also I used the direct selection tool to make my lines curvy. Then used the eyedropper tool to fill in the places I wanted color. v I had a difficult time with making my lines curvy I couldn’t really control the direct selection tool but then got the hang of it. As well I would sometimes use the wrong tools to make my logo and I kept clicking the undo button that’s mostly what I struggled with. v I started of with a pink color but I wasn’t really feeling the pink and plus it was too bright. The purple blue color wasn’t really me, I thought it would look good but didn’t really like it at then end. Third color I liked but then I started playing with the color and I made it darker and the final one I really liked it had a better feeling to it plus I like dark colors and I thought it would represent me better since I like the color and I prefer darker colors. v My logo shows that its simple but I used some Different type of font that didn’t make my logo look too simple. So you could say I like things simple but like them to stand out as well. As for the color I thought it had a warm feeling to it. I Used a dark color because I like dark colors and it made my logo stand out, usually logos have some type of bright color so I tried to be a bit different. |
