For this part of the project we were suppose to vectorize three of our logos, and make three variations of them. I was bored, so I actually vectorized more than three logos and made some adjustments to some of the logos. The picture below shows my final three logos with their different variations. The most frustrating thing about this whole process was that I needed to choose just three logos and then the final official logo for the brand. Vectorizing, coloring, and making the logos was probably the most fun and favorite part of the whole logo designing. This process taught me that I need to make choices, and that vectorizing logos don’t always go your way. The name of the brand I made is Art Ace (aka A^2). Art Ace is a site where you post drawings or anything art related and get feedback or encouragements from other artists. Also, the art you post doesn’t need to be a drawing but could be a story or 3D model you made. Art Ace is a place where people can express their creativity without people’s opinions. It is a place to explore different types of art and opens up ways to improve on your work. The logo I choose represents the brand the best in my opinion. The design is artistic as well as colorful and fun. Choosing just one logo was really hard; however, I believe that the logo I choose represents the brand well and fully. This is because the character at the top of the logo is just fun and excited which represents the brand. However, art wise, I believe that I would have chosen a different logo, but the logo I would have chosen was not representing the brand in the way I wanted the people to see it. Thus, I choose the logo below.
For class, we were making logo designs for an imaginary brand. My brand is called Art Ace (aka A^2). Art Ace is kind of like an art club where you post drawings or anything art like you did and get feedback or encouragements from others. The art you post doesn't necessarily need to be art drawing, but could be books and fanfic you made. I thought most of the logos below were pretty good, so I had trouble picking just three which was a bit frustrating. Eventually, I settled with number 12, 15, and 16. I like number 12 because it gave me the vibe of freedom and growth which is what Art Ace is trying to make you feel. I mostly choose number 15 because I felt that I needed to choose something a bit simple. Number 16 is probably my favorite because I really liked that I drew the ace of spades as a reference to Ace in Art Ace. I personally didn't really like the brainstorm logos on the top of the page while the bottom logos looked a lot better. Overall, I enjoyed doing the logo brainstorm.
This time on Gravit, we did two assignments. The first one was to get at least 15 colors and name the RGB value and the HEX code. The second one was to explore this website called Adobe Color and use it to make four different schemes. For the first project, I thought to make a palette with different colors and name all the color with lines. It was fun using the Pen tool to make the paint splatters. It was kind of annoying how I needed to check every color for the values. For the second project, I didn't know what to do, so I made a bowl which inspired me to make bowls which contained paint and a paintbrush in each one. All in all, I am proud of my work, especially for the Color Names project because of the colors. ^^ Color NamesColor Schemes Typography is the visual component of a written word. Typography is important because the better typography you have the more people will be interested in the material. People, these days, actually judge a book by the cover, so if you have eye catching typography, then people will be more likely to buy the book. Also, good typography reinforces the meaning of the text. The quote, "Each font has a personality and purpose" means that each font is created to be used in a certain place. If used wrongly, the font can ruin the meaning of the text. For example, if goofy font is used for a hospital, it will feel like the hospital is goofy and not serious. To avoid that, there are 5 different types of fonts:
Typeface ComparisonIn this assignment, I was suppose to explore the 5 different fonts and chose one font for each font type. So, I made a title of the type of font and below the font name. Then, I wrote "Who are you?" in that font. Word PortraitsIn this assignment, I was suppose to explore each font's "personality" and chose 10 fonts. For each font, I was suppose to write the vibe the font was giving and what the font wasn't giving. I wrote the wrong vibe of the font on the left, and on the right I wrote the vibe the font was giving. I also wrote the font name above the two words and chose 10 different fonts.
The images below are the assignments my teacher gave me. She want the class to follow the instructions for the first image below to get used to the Pen Tool on Gravit. The Pen Tool is a tool you can use to trace out images or just draw in general. The Penny cutout of Abraham Lincoln was to apply our skill of the Pen Tool to trace out Lincoln. The Monster picture beside the Penny cutout was just an optional challenge. The final piece is a composite picture of 2 different types of turtles on an ocean background which I got from the Internet. The whole process was actually easier than I thought, but the hardest thing to do was continuously holding the mouse key to make changes like pressing the alt key or continuing to press down while moving the mouse to make the wanted changes.
The drawing below is a representation of my Shape Scene made through Java Script Code. So, there is the sun, the clouds, the umbrella, a turtle, and a beach ball. I decided not to do the palm tree because it was too much work. I learned that coding actually takes a long time to master. If the coding I did is just the beginning, then I am sure that I will probably never master the art of coding or computer science. Now, I realize how much coding is embedded in our lives. The people who create sites and the Internet are very accomplished people.
The scene below is a beach. Beaches usually have palm trees, umbrellas, starfish, turtles, and beach balls. Beaches are special to me because they calm me down. Also, you can maybe see turtles, which are one of my favorite animals, there. I like turtles because they're slow physically kind of like me, but they still have a talent for swimming in the water. The beach is also fun to go to.
On Gravit, I learned to make compound shapes by unifying, subtracting, cutting out the differences, and cutting off the overlapping parts of the shape. I also learned to smooth borders and change the number of points.
This time on Gravit I didn't really learn much, but I did learned to align and equally distribute shapes on Gravit.
This time on Gravit, I learned to change the borders and fill. Since I know more about fills than borders, I didn't learned anything about fills in Gravit. I learned how to create dash border lines, to change the corners., and to align borders.
