favorite logos


 The Apple logo that represents such items as the iPhones or iPad is a simple design that people associate it with any of their products because it is an apple.

The Pepsi logo is another memorable logo because of how much the design has changed since I was born till now. It is as simple as a circle and the colors that represent the product.

The swoosh in the Nike logo can be as simple as this to its multicolored designs. We always associate this symbol with athletics. It makes the swoosh very versatile because of the many designs it can take on.
 As a child, watching Disney Channel or any movies, seeing this at the beginning is a timeless logo because everyone has grown up with it.. Even without the words, we would know it is a Disney product because of the castle.
Starbucks to me, seems like a complicated design and has no relevance to coffee. Changing the logo completely would be odd because we don't see this as anything else.

Litsa Mirakis contour stylized

 
Within this contour, I came upon many successes and challenges in making sure my drawing is similar to the actual clamp. I believe that I have made every mark on the drawing the same as what was on the tool itself to the closes proximity. I used the pen tool to the best of my ability and that was one of my well used tools that I did use.

The challenge overall on this project was using illustrator because I have never worked on it before, so understanding what all the tools are used for was a struggle. I did struggle the most on the words because the pen tool took to long to use to get each letter. Until I understood an easy way of doing it, it took a lot of pressure and time off. I think my challenge next is to use more of the styling tools to characterize my drawing more in other drawings we will have soon.

Progress 1 on tool design




 This is the process I have made with our tool design. I think I can work on the use of shapes and practice using the scissors. I have had struggles with this because of not using the program before, but  after playing with illustrator I am kind of getting the hang of it.

Blog 1: Inspired by Design

Artist name: German Crew
These two photos were taken in the district of Palmitas in Pachuca, Mexico. The artists worked with the Mexican Government to recreate Mexico and create a transformation with in the town by helping with new temporary job and was said that it reduced crime and violence. These pictures are amazing because knowing about Mexico and how some areas are very dark and not to much color, brings light to a different part of the area. I think I want to do something like this for my project but making something dark and dull and making it colorful.
