eComm Brochure

This is my eComm Brochure. It looks like the desktop of a Mac. The apps represent each of the strands. The help bar acts as a table of contents. I made the background. The brochure makes it clear what eComm is all about and to me, is very inviting!

My Personal Logo

I started out with three totally different designs.  Each of them have a different feel to them and I like that. The handwritten signature is very flowy and the logo with the feather has an artistic feel to it. However,  my favorite design is the abstract one. I based it off of circles, a triangle, and a simple lettering for my initials.

 I decided to change the color scheme of the design. At first, I lightened the blue and red to try to give it more of a pastel, yet bold look. Then, I wanted to totally change the colors. I made the base color yellow and the accents a dark blue. When I was in the process of this, I accidentally moved the inner circle and that was the turning point in my logo!

My circle turned into a crescent moon. I used inverse colors and got rid of the fill in my triangle. I also made the color white. I made the line sharing the A and M bold and changed the color to white. It is has some abstract design to even out the circles. This is my final logo and I love it. It describes me because I love the night sky. The bold line describes me because I can be brave and put myself out there. The night sky shows the calm side of me because I'm usually a little crazy. The triangle on the bottom represents an arrow pointing to the sky. I'm a follower of God and I look towards him.

Kerning

Kerning is the process of adjusting the spacing between type in a proportional font. The purpose is to achieve a visually pleasing result. If a font is well-kerned, the two-dimensional blank spaces between each pair of characters all have a visually similar area. The serifs on a character usually line up when bringing type closer to each other. This is makes the font look pleasing to the eye. This is an example of a type that I kerned. 

Google in Depth

 This is Google's original logo from 1998. Google went through many different logos through the years up until now. 

The same colors and ideas are used throughout the years. Primary colors are used for the type. The creators of the logo wanted to show the world they weren't "rule followers", so they added a secondary color on the L. Google changes their logo on different occasions. On occasions when disaster strikes, Google makes their logo colorless to pay respect. 

eMagine

The eMagine festival was a great success! It was so much fun dressing up and seeing all my friends. On top of that, we got the opportunity to see many spectacular pieces of graphic designs, web designs, videos, and animations. It amazed me how much creativity, thought, and hard work these students put into their projects. My favorite was "The Wall". The actors were awesome and the film was very creative. All in all, it was an awesome night!

101 Dalmatians Movie Poster

My movie poster is on 101 Dalmatians. Cruella De Vil is the highlight of my poster. She is all black with a white dalmatian fur coat. The coat is placed on her body in a sort of messy way to create an aritistic feeling. The coat is outlined in black in most areas and in some, the white coat blends into the white background. My movie poster is simple, just like Saul Bass' movie posters. It has 2 things that reveal the story(the fur coat and Cruella De Vil). Saul Bass' usually have 2-3 things. I have 3 colors including black and white. The red makes the poster pop. Bass' posters have 3-5 colors including black and white, like the poster below. The poster is easy to look at and is simple.

How do the things I value reveal my personal story?

How do the things I value reveal my personal story?

Dance is one of the few things where I can reveal my true self. My dance friends know me in a different way than my other friends know me. They way you dance reflects who you are. I'm a dancer, and that statement itself tells people that I am an artistic, unique, and quirky person. I am not the most confident dancer. This shows my sometimes hidden shy side of me. Although once you get to know me, I am most definitely not shy! Dance explains my personality.

Open windows gives me a sense of renewal. Sounds weird, but it's one of my favorite things ever. I will always have my windows open if it's nice enough outside. I absolutely love the smell of the outdoors and the breeze that comes with it. Sitting by my window listening to music clears my head. It is refreshing to me. I always have a ton going on in my life because of my busy schedule, so this reveals my quiet side. It's one of the few times I like to be alone.
