Logo Design

Logos, logos, logos that was our assignment, last week in my Interactive Media class, we were given a the project of branding ourselves, this meaning, creating a logo for ourselves and for a partner in the class. This was really hard for me, at this point, I literally felt like all creativity in body was gone. I couldn't think of any ideas, It took me a full week to even think of an idea. 

What I finally came up with was to use a picture I took while in Salzburg, Austria (Österreich).   I decided to do this because I love Europe (Especially Deutschland and Österreich) and along with that, I love lots of design. It's hard for me to create a small piece of work. 

What I did with the original photo to make it a bit more interesting was created several layers on Photoshop and made every layer different somehow,  using a lot of gradient tools. I made about 22 layers, all the same photo but using a lot of different color tools and items for saturation, ect. Overall, I'm happy with the ending result. I used a photo that I took while traveling and just made it more appealing.

My next logo was again, hard. I had to create one for another student in our class. He told me he liked things simple, earthy colors, and skinny fonts. For a designer who loves LOTS of design, this was difficult. I sat on Google Images looking at earthy tones and other things I could use for this. Then it hit me, It was semi-unrelated to what he wanted but I knew that he bmxed. 

So my next task was to find a picture of just a bmx bike tire, then I was going to stick with the same style and create something like what I created for myself. Maybe I strayed off from what he wanted but we were both happy with the end result.

Until next time,
