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.

Tag Brush

Artists Statement: Tag Brush was a very fun and creative assignment to work on. I was able to experiment with the various layers available to use and see what looked best with my logo. While complex, this assignment gave me great knowledge as to how to create a brush in Photoshop. Above is my basic B/W brush, and then to the left are my colorized ones. This brush worked great when adding my own personal touch to further assignments, almost like an artists signature. I'll definitely be using the skills I learned in this section for future projects and brush creations!

Calligram Project

Calligram Project For my calligram project I decided to base it off of something I would say represents me, which is music. What you are seeing above is a Treble Clef with music bars flowing off of it, representing what sheet music would look like. I was able to morph the words in a way to look like they're flowing off of the Treble Clef using a tool called the puppet warp. Placing pins on each word using this tool allowed me to morph the words in the way I wanted them to. While I did use the envelope distort tool for some parts, the puppet warp tool was much easier to get the desired shape I wanted. I decided to go with a variety of different fonts in this piece to add an element of creativity, not keeping everything the same. Each different font represents a different sentence, making for easier readability. While things do tend to get a bit trickier to read in the Treble Clef area, using the different fonts helps distinguish between sentence. Inspiration My Letter
