Logo Creation

In class, we created stories using pictures, then found a way to simplify the story into one image. This was one way that we learned to create logos.

I started out using arrows and images and my story was a little hard to understand. My story was that I studied my math book and got an A on my test.

When i recreated my story and made it into one image, I took the most important parts, which were the book, the A, and the math aspect of it. I played around with it and came up with this final image:

I were to go back and change something, I think that I would put the math symbols on the pencil and not have them about the logo. I would want it to be more condensed.

Logo Ideas and Illustrator

Last week in class, we created our first finished logo and the process was quite interesting. We made lists, then filled pages with drawings, and finally started putting things together. I also got to have my first experience using drawing ink. I really liked the finished look it gave. I was very clean looking. I really enjoyed learning such new techniques.

This week, we started using Illustrator. I have used it in the past, but always got frusturated with it so I am looking forward to mastering it. I am anxious to scan my logo and start outlining on the computer. When I get my hands on a scanner, I am also going to scan my finished logo and post it on here! Until then...

Logo Design!

Where to start when it come to creating a logo? Well first, you have to make lists. Lists of everything running through that head of yours. After that, you get to be a 5th grader with a sharpie and a notebook. You get to doodle and draw until nothing else fits on the paper. After that, you have to start looking for shapes that are similar that you could possibly combine to make some sort of message. It's more than okay if the pictures become ridiculous, it gives you more to work with. I learned that you have to eliminate all boundaries and just let your imagination run wild!
