Logo Project

 







Estimated completion time: 2 hours


This logo represents the inner me, as I designed my logo to be a needle that is representing a vaccine with fire coming out of it. The vaccine portion of the logo represents how I want to get into a career that deals with medical research in my future. Also, it reminds me of mini-THON, which my high school back home participated in that was an event to raise money for kids with cancer. I was very involved and hold this event close to my heart. The fire coming out of the needle is representing how passionate I am about the things I care about. I strongly believe that a life lived without passion is just boring. I have a fire lit within me, and it also applies to how much I want to go into medical research as well because it is a personal connection for me. Before my grandma had passed away last year, the doctors could never diagnose her and we still don’t technically know what sickness she had. This lit that fire within me to get a career in medical research. 

I really enjoyed this project, and my logo was fun to create. I used many different techniques, such as the shape builder tool, to put the vaccination needle together. The most difficult part was getting the fire to look exactly how I wanted it to and also getting the needle to be completely even. I decided on the colors that I chose because I wanted them to be complementary. I also made sure to look at what the three main color-blindness types would see as well. As for my first logo, the red of the fire represents passion and energy, which is exactly what I think of when I think about who I am as a person. I actually found that blue represents feeling safe worldwide, across all countries, so I knew I wanted this color for the vaccine. In my second design, I made the fire blue because even though I am so passionate, I want to use this passion to help people feel safe and make them feel better. I chose orange for the needle stroke because orange represents confidence and bravery, which are two traits I have to possess to go into the field of study that I want to enter. Lastly, for the last design, I made the fire purple because purple represents ambition. I made the needle green because green represents healing and freshness, which is what I want to help people feel through the research I will complete. Overall, I tried to use colors that balance each other out; one color represents something about passion and the other represents something to calm the passion and create peace. This logo genuinely represents the inner me, and reminds me of why I am passionate about being in the medical field.

Autoscopy Project

Image
  Estimated time to complete: 1 hour               My initial inspiration for this project was that I feel like sometimes I have my head in the clouds. I feel like I am a daydreamer, and I always find myself staring into "space." When I do catch myself staring into space, I like to think about aliens. I have always though aliens were so cool and we barely know what life exists on our planet, so I definitely do feel like there has to be some form of life on other planets. I also wanted to play with the idea that I like to stare into "space," by using some elements from space, such as the UFO and aliens. I thought this would be clever.                I had to use many different tools to get this project completed how I wanted it to be, such as the quick selection tool to make all of my masks. I had to make four different masks for myself, both aliens, and the UFO. I also added adjustment layers to everything to make the colors exactly how I wanted them. I also had to

Business cards

Business card 1 (front to back): Business card 2 (front to back): Business card 3 (front to back):          Estimated time to complete: 2 hours          For my business cards, I decided to do three different color versions all with my three different color logos with colors that I chose because I think they are aesthetically pleasing. I really enjoyed doing this project because now that I am so familiar with photoshop and illustrator, a lot of the tools are the same or very similar in indesign. I had to use many different tools, such as the frame tool to put my logo in every page, many different layers so I could keep track of all my backgrounds, text, and images, and also the rectangle tool to create my backgrounds. I also played with the opacity for mainly the backs of my business cards by turning down the opacity, so it looks like the back of a business card.           For my first business card, I really wanted to use the idea that the words were kind of shooting out of the needle

Self Portrait Propaganda

Image
  Total time for completion: about 4 hours      The basic idea of my self portrait was to display a happy image of myself by using and combining different shapes and tools in adobe illustrator. The idea that I chose for the propaganda aspect of the project was “stop and smell the roses,” because I think it is important to enjoy life while you are living it. Some tools I had to use for this project include the shape builder tool, which helped me combine shapes to create the look that I wanted, and it also helped me create the shadow on my face. I wanted to include my freckles in the portrait because I feel like they are an important aspect of who I am, and they make me, me. As far as the propaganda goes, this saying is important to me because I tend to get really caught up in the hard work of life, that I forget to enjoy it. I really tend to forget to just have fun and enjoy life because I am too focused on schoolwork or what I need to do everyday to be successful. The saying “stop an
