Our last project in Visual Communications was logo project. But this wasn't any old logo project, we were actually designing logos for real companies. I don't think I need to tell you that, real companies=real money. How this works is, we go to a design website such as 99designs.com, which allows companies to post requests for designs and allows artists to submit designs. The possibility of getting paid got me excited so I jumped head first into it. I first found some logo contests I was interested in, and started. I chose a communications company called GEOskip, a tech. service company named Smarter Service 4 Technology, and a company named Ramco. I personally felt I designed some amazing logos for each of the companies. For most of the logos I chose simple but effective.
My Rant:
The geoskip company rep was an idiot, instead of a good logo, they really wanted a "mascot" included in the logo, which is lame. Instead of choosing greatly designed logos, the opted for wack logos that looked like they were created in Microsoft Word.
I'll be revisited 99designs.com over the summer to make some extra money, hopefully. Wish me luck! sicks out.

Essay, I have slain you.
So I completed my essay. It was long and hard(don't be childish) but it was well worth it in the end. As I mentioned in the last post it was a graphical essay on "How Computers Work".
Here's a brief excerpt from the essay:
"To first understand how a computer works, one must first understand what a computer is, by definition. A computer is, an electronic device created to take in data, and carry out mathematical and logical operations at high speed, and display the results of said operations. Personal computers are the most commonly used computer and it’s the type of computer that most people are familiar with. Personal computers (PC) are very much the same aside from the fact they are used for a variety of purposes and are built around a microprocessor..."
This was my last project for Design Technology. I liked the end product. Sicks out.
