LOGO CREATION

 

Creating my logo was fun. I didn't really think of how it could be used realistically, but more of how it expressed who I am. My hair was a big inspiration for my logo. I wanted to capture the more vibrant side of my personality: bright, friendly, open, fiery, and bold. I wanted the squiggles to represent my hair and I stuck to warm colors due to my red hair color and my passion for the fall season. I also love to draw this flower made of 4 tear dropped shaped petals. It always calms me down to just double them so I felt it was important to incorporate that as well.
While creating my logo, I felt it was important for it to be simple and sophisticated all at once. I don't know if I can really say my logo is simple, but the pattern is is the same through out with a small emphasis on the curly-q coming from the center. It is balanced and organic making it simple. Yet, the boldness of the far outward movement and bright red at the ends makes it stand out and sophisticated.
The power point information about direction and its meaning was interesting and I took that into consideration in my piece. I wanted my movement to look like growth and wanted the pattern to move in a pin wheel motion that seemed as if it was changing direction. That is why the curls move in the directions the way they do. I've been focusing more on how much I've grown as a person, than how much I still have to work on. I also don't know what direction in life I want to go yet so the moving direction symoolizes my indecisiveness. The videos where interesting because they showed how long the process of graphic design can really take and what interesting things can influence them.
