Low Go!

So here it is my final decsion on my Mr. Sparkle Logo. As you can see I submitted two logos.

Logo #1

(The top logo)

I wanted to go for a simple look; something that says clean and environmentally clean. The water drop shape was suppose to symbolize water; clean. The Ribbon surrounding the water drop is symbolizing the transition from clean to environmentally safe.

Logo #2

(The bottom logo)

For the second logo I wanted to go for an even simpler look. I chose to do a "sectional logo." For each section(panel) of the logo I used a different color. I tried to use ocean colors, to continue the water theme. If you look closely you'll see the water drop in the top left section. I placed the name in the logo left; separate but included.

Critique me!

Lately I've been real busy; handling some things back home, school projects, studying, gets some things in order and catching up on some much needed sleep. I forgot to update last week so....
We finished a tutorial project, it was pretty simple, not important enough to post about. After the tutorial project we started logo projects. Now what makes these logo projects unique is that we will be actually creating logos for real life businesses and organizations. The client then picks their favorite logo from the class and uses it for their company. The first company we were asked to create a logo for was "Mr. Sparkle Glass Restoration." (I can't help but think of Homer Simpson, every time I hear "Mr.Sparkle") Final comments and logo pics in the next post.

stick a fork in it....

I finally finished my color replication project. The goal of the project was to recreate a real life object as a vector in Adodbe Illustrator. I think it turned out well, though I feel I could've done a little better on the reflections, rims and the windows. This project taught me a lot about gradients and coloring. I did my best on the rims, I had a different idea in the beginning, but this is what I chose to stick with. Now that I look at it, I notice that I forgot to add some details to the car, such as the reflector near the door and the emblem next to the wheel. I think it turned out well though. Can I get some critique please?

keep on pushin

Pushin' on. I'm making progress, it's turning out pretty good. It'll look even better once I add the small details. Workin' on this project makes me think of the Curtis Mayfield song "Keep On Pushin." This is a song that has motivated me in the past to complete schoolwork(corny?). Either way "Keep On Pushin" is a song that keeps me going to completion.
Joys and concerns
So far nothings given me too much trouble...that being said I believe the rims will be a small challenge but I'm sure it won't be too much of a problem

Sick on another level[sicks point oh]

Past few days have been the illest days of my life. I missed classes, missed meals, missed work and basically missed out everything else that's important. Luckily I finished my less is more project and I've begun to make some progress on my new project "Color replication"

Completion

I finally finished my 'less is more' project. It took a lot of time and hard work but its finished. I discovered a lot of things about adobe illustrator while working on this project such as the shape tool and the path tool. I really liked how it turned out, sometimes I look at it and think to myself "did I really do this?", long story short, I think it's amazing. I have to admit the more and more I look at it, I notice that the speaker look kinda rough....but all in all it was an enjoyable project, but I'm happy to finally be finished.
