Vectors - Logo Project

Hi Everyone!

For my personal logo project I wanted to create something that was not only creative, but had multiple elements inside of it. Looking at some of my original sketches, I was sticking to things I knew and loved, for example, music, the trumpet, my favorite sport which is volleyball, and my Irish heritage. However, I thought about the deep connection I have to my home city of Providence, RI and decided to start there. My logo features an outline of the Providence skyline with my initials E and M between the buildings, as well as a clover in the middle symbolizing my heritage. Something about this logo felt special to me, as it encompasses a strong sense of home while also bringing in aspects of where my family originates from. I thought bringing a few of the buildings into the foreground would help my initials pop more and make them more noticeable. For my final 3 logo's I used some great brand color combos, featuring a red and black, as well as a baby blue and pastel green color-way. The middle logo however, features a yellow/orange gradient on the buildings with an Ireland inspired gradient in the middle of the clover. Even still, I think the logo looks super clean and sleek just in black and white.

Portfolio

Artists Statement: After becoming more comfortable working with InDesign, I was able to create a personalized portfolio containing all of the projects we've done throughout the semester. For reference, the first slide is above and the last slide ends with the business cards. This portfolio encompasses all of the hard work I've put in throughout this semester, and I couldn't be more proud of myself. Looking back on it, I didn't even realize how many projects we've actually done! I used a green color scheme, featuring a light green as the background with dark green, grey, and black as alternate colors. I can't wait to show this portfolio to my friends and family to show off all of my projects!

BW to Color

Artist Statement: For my black and white to color photoshop project I decided to use three different types of color schemes; Square, Triad, and Analogous. I really like pinkish-purple colors and I think my favorite scheme in this project was probably the analogous. I was able to utilize the quick selection tool to outline multiple sections of my image including my shirt, shorts, hair, the wall behind me, the reflection on the water, the lights, and as an added bonus, the moon! Having a white shirt on definitely helped the colors on my shirt pop a bit more than the rest of the image since it was taken at night time. Overall, I really enjoyed working on this project and I think photoshop is my new favorite software that we've used so far!

Photoshop Homework 2

Find 1 image that inspired you or gave you an idea for the "Somewhere" project: I think this is a really cool photo because you can do a lot with the background of it. Whether it's changing colors or making it a whole other structure, I would definitely photoshop myself onto it. Find 1 image you think it would be really hard to photoshop yourself in to: This photo I especially thought it would be hard to photoshop myself into because of how complex the image is. Theres a lot of motion blur going on, lots of different colors and reflections, it would be a hard task to accomplish. Find 1 set of images that made you laugh: All of his posts were very funny and creative but I laughed the most at this one 😂 Which illusion you think you might want to recreate? This illusion is cool because some of the other ones were able to be done without software, whereas this one clearly uses photoshop. It would be very cool to work on a project like this one.
