LOGO BLOG POST

 

My favorite logo is the lego logo. I think it is well designed because it is very memorable and easy to recognize. Especially because the primary audience of this product is young kids, and this logo is easy for a kid to remember.  The colors work well together and font is playful which allows the logo to be nice to look at.

I like all of these logos a lot mostly because they are pleasing to the eye. All of them are playful and bright which draws me to the logos. They are all very simple, which I like a lot because it is not overwhelming to the eye. Overall each logo expresses a different idea in a simplistic way. 

Reflection Questions: poster project

1.  I believe my stance is clear within my poster because of the colors used in each section of the project. To represent the negative associations with republicans I used a dark red to represent blood. For the destruction of the Planned Parenthood I used the colors yellow and orange to show it being destroyed. For my message of the text to be delivered I put a light background and then made the text more dark so the text can stand out which makes the message clear.

2. I feel as though I was successful in recreating my poster digitally from it originally being a thumbnail sketch. I believe that I was more successful digitally than the hand drawn version, I was able to think more outside of the box while I was on Illustrator. In the digital version I was able to add color and add more life to each image

3. I made a lot of changes from the first version of the poster to the final version of the poster. The most important change was the addition of color. Once I added color the whole premise of the poster was changed and made my poster more visually interesting.

4. While looking at the rubric I feel as though I am strongest in the concept area because I feel as though my message is very well portrayed in my poster. I feel least confident in the design category only because I feel like I could have made more use with the page and overall have a better design process.

5. The most challenging part of my project conceptually was making my message clear to the audience. I am trying to promote the idea that I am against the republicans shutting down planned parenthood and it was hard for me to explain that so conceptually it took me awhile to come up with an image to represent that idea.

6.Visually, the part I struggled most with was the destruction of the planned parenthood. It was difficult to crop the building in a way that looked like it was being destroyed, and then individually crop parts of the building to look like parts were coming off. I then had to image trace each piece and transform each part of the building, it was difficult but it worked out eventually.

FIRST IDEA:

SECOND IDEA:

FINAL IDEA:

I am very passionate about supporting planned parenthood while a majority of republicans/conservatives are not. The issue of shutting down planned parenthood is recent based on false information that was leaked about the procedures that happen there. I believe planned parenthood is critical and should not be shut down, it gives women more opportunities.

On social media I follow accounts that relate to women's rights, this issue has been very important in that topic and I have seen posts I strongly agree with. This topic is very controversial in society, people take this argument very seriously. I believe it is right to keep planned parenthood alive because it is a place that helps women and it overall a helpful resource.

I am support planned parenthood because of the amount of support they have for women. This article is about politicians in Kansas who cut funds for planned parenthood. This is upsetting because now women in Kansas have less rights to chose what they want to do with their bodies. Overall, Planned Parenthood is a beneficial foundation and politicians should stop cutting funds.
