We had to create 15 logos on a sheet of paper then choose the best 3 and vectorize it. Then we would have to make 3 variations to those logos with different concepts/colors.The most frustrating or challenging part of the process was the design choices and the color choices I had to make for these 3 variations. I had a hard time thinking of ways to innovate my designs without being too repetitive. My favorite thing about this process was in the end, seeing everything I had done when I finished doing it because it was very satisfying to see everything I tried to do work out in the end product. I learned and improved my skills in vectorizing things and I think I can apply this in the future too. The name of the brand is Pitch and it is a music app that lets you listen to music. The purpose of it is to make it easier and more convenient for the person to listen to music. The logo represents the brand because the logo is vibrant and colorful which shows that we are friendly and welcoming while also being helpful and innovative. This logo is my favorite because it is full of color and the image looks cool and shows what our company is about and what it does. Something important would be the font choosing because if I used the wrong font, even though my logo was good, the logo would look so much worse since the font just doesn't match.
I decided to choose the logo with sound frequency in a circle and the name of the brand under it and another one was one where someone is listening to music and its shown by the music frequency coming out of their ears. The last one is a rectangular sound wave and there's a mirror of it below it too with the brand name under it.
Out of these three, I like the mirrored one the most and I don't like the sound frequency one in a circle because it can be misunderstood as a heartbeat monitor or a graph. The mirrored one is clearly a rectangle sound wave with a clear name underneath it. Out of all of them, I don't like the musical note ones because they are so overused and they don't look that good. I like the 2 humans dancing to music(left row and right now). The process was a bit hard because I overthink a lot of it and it was a bit hard to get 15 logos. In this design, we had to go to Adobe Color and pick 4 different color palettes and the types were analogous, triadic, complementary, and monochromatic. Each palette has to have 5 colors. We have to then present the color palettes anyway we want. Analogous is a color palette where the hues are next to each other on the color wheel. Complementary combines hues from opposite sides of the color wheel. Monochromatic is just one hue but has various saturation and brightness levels. Triadic combines 3 hues evenly spaced out around the color wheel. I liked analogous because the colors had good contrast and they made the picture look good.
In the "Color Names" assignment, what I was assigned to do was to get at least 15 different colors to a piece of work and label all of those colors by their hex value and RGB codes. I got the shape from the Gravit basic shapes section and some of the challenges that I faced were that I got the RGB places mixed up so to fix this, I would just write down one number at a time to ensure that I did it correctly and it worked. I'm proud of the different colors and how neat the arrangement is. Some successes were the alignment because I have OCD so it was very agitating for me when something was not right so I had to do the entire aligning process again just to get it all aligned but in the end, it worked out so I'm cool with that. The tools I used in Gravit were the basic shapes section, the alignment options, and the color wheel. There was no real inspiration for my shape since it was just a basic shape.
I learned that typography means, "The style and appearance of printed matter." Typography is the way of sharing ideas and conveying emotions through typing and fonts. It is important because it is one of the only ways to convey emotions and ideas through typing on the internet. It is a way someone can use technology to catch attention and fonts add a type of style to the writing that you can't achieve without fonts. The quote, "Each font has a personality and a purpose”. means that each font has a type of style or words that fit the context of the font while some words simply contrast the font picked. The 5 different fonts are Serif, San Serif, Monospaced, Script/Handwritten, and Novelty. Serif has "feet" and that stick out on the end of the letters and you would use this font when you are writing in large blocks of texts or if your writing in print. San Serif does not have "feet" and it is good for small texts and titles and it is used on the web. Monospaced is made so that each letter has the same amount of space as the others so it is horrible for large blocks of text. It is also used in coding. Script/Handwritten is cursive, calligraphic, or handwritten. It is difficult to read so it's good for logos and details but it is bad for large blocks of text. Novelty is good attention catchers and you should use these sparingly. These used to be popular. You should use these as logos or titles to catch attention. Typeface ComparisonFor the Typeface Comparison, we had to create an A4 size Gravit document and have 5 different web fonts. The web fonts included Serif, Sans Serif, Monospaced, Script/Handwritten, and Novelty. For each example of a web font, we had to label the font's name and the type of font. Word PotraitsWe had to choose 10 different fonts from the Gravit library and we need to find one word that matches the font and one word that contrasts the font.
I drew a frog and I drew it because I didn't know what do draw so I randomly drew something and it turned out to be a frog. I made it using code and using different shapes and colors to form a kind of picture. I learned how to do more complex types of coding through the Hour of Code and it was awesome. Some challenges I had to overcome were the legs overlapping the head and I fixed it by reprogramming the code and changing things. I think overall, this experience was good and I would do a Hour of Code again. Code:
background(105, 105, 240); fill(0, 110, 7); //legs ellipse(50, 300, 100, 90); ellipse(350, 300, 100, 90); //face fill(6, 117, 0); ellipse(200, 220, 300, 300); //eyes fill(255, 255, 255); ellipse(250, 200, 100, 100); ellipse(150, 200, 100, 100); //pupil fill(0, 0, 0); ellipse(150, 200, 25, 25); ellipse(250, 200, 25, 25); //arms fill(0, 117, 37); ellipse(100, 360, 100, 90); ellipse(300, 360, 100, 90); //mouth ellipse(200, 315, 100, 20); //tongue fill(184, 0, 0); ellipse(200, 350, 30, 90); |
