Project 2

1. Thoughts about creating the logo: I liked the concept of creating a logo to represent myself, but I had to put a lot of thought into this. I wasn't quite sure what I should create that would represent myself. Every time I thought about creating a logo, different things popped into my head.

2. Creative thinking skills and ideas for the logo: Like I said, I thought of many different things that I could incorporate into this logo, but what I decided to use was a round platter, to represent that I work in the restaurant business, a tea cup to represent my love of tea, my name, the polka dots represent a fun spirit, and a heart to show my love for my boyfriend and for my family. The way I did my name, with the m being bigger than the rest, shows that the m is bold, which is often what I hear when people describe me.

3. Most important discovery: I've found that my artistic skills are growing. I usually don't do anything artistic, that involves drawing or coloring. I liked that I had to do these things to create my logo, breaking me out of my comfort zone.

4. Most important information learned through the videos, powerpoint, etc.: My opinion of the video: To me the most important thing that I've learned from the material is that even though there were many different type faces throughout history, that all served a different purpose and were created for different reasons, with the creation of technology and the computer, everyone has the ability to create their own unique type face. My opinions of the video was that it held my attention and there were many different changes throughout the creation of type faces, and that in creating my logo, if it were some time from now, I could create my own type face or be inspired by a newly created type face.
