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!

Business Cards

Artists Statement: This was my very first time working in InDesign and while its similar to other softwares we've used in class this semester, it also has its differences. My three logos features various different color schemes which I was able to coordinate with the business card colors. I feel as though business cards should be kept simple and not overcomplicated to keep focus on the logo and personal business information. On the front of the cards I included my logo and on some I included elements like diamonds and circles. On the back of the cards I included the same elements as the front but added in my business information. If I was to choose one card to actually use for a business I would choose the black and red color scheme because I think those colors go great together and looks the cleanest. Overall this project was super fun and allowed me to be very creative with my card designs!
