Still Playing Catch Up

After creating our mood boards, we were asked to present two preexisting logos -- one we liked and one we disliked. Here are the ones I presented:

 

I like the Diet Coke logo because it's simple and elegant, yet bold. (It also doesn't hurt that I love to drink Diet Coke.)

 

I dislike the Pepsi logo because I think the text is too light, making it appear as if the circle is going to fall and crush the text.

This exercise paired with our mood board exercise prepared us for our first project -- creating our own logo. Stay tuned to see what I came up with.

Sorry For The Delay

It's been entirely too long since my last post, and of course that means you've been missing out on what I've been working on. Hopefully I don't bombard you with posts as I try to catch up.

During the first week of class we were asked to create a mood board to display our likes in order to get us thinking about how we wanted to express ourselves in our first project -- a personal logo.

Below is my mood board:

Love What You Do

This quote by Steve Jobs explains why I am currently studying graphic design. I picked up graphic design a few years ago, and I've been in love with it ever since.
