My Logo

My Logo

The Process

When I started this project I was thinking about what cool thing I could do with the letter S for Sydney and/or D for Decker. I drew a lot of different designs, as shown below.












I picked my top 4 designs and immediately knew which one I liked, I chose the first one. I liked the fact that no-one else would have this design. When I started the design I chose it started with a cursive S, and changed it until it looked like what it is.

I started to create my design on Adobe Illustrator, and messed around with it. I found some good founts that I liked and could use for my logo. I accidentally moved the inner triangle down little and liked it, so I just left it.

I started to play around with the color, and desired I liked the mistake design I made, so I colored it too. The colors I liked most was the orange, mint, purple, and blue. I asked my fellow  classmates which color they liked best and the majority was orange, witch was good because I liked the orange the best. I really wanted to put it on a black shirt so I tested what it would look like on the black. My final product can be seen either above or below

Then I put my logo on a t-shirt, that I customized, and I love how it turned out.

Why My Logo Is How It Looks

This is my final product! I personally love how it turned out, and I hope that everyone else agrees. I made the main color orange because it would stand out, and because orange is the color of happiness and warmth, and I want people to be happy and feel warm inside when they look at my logo. It has a red outline to make the inner color stand out more. I chose this fount because it looked professional and classy.






Everything is the same as said before, except for the mint green letters, witch are mint green because it stands out, I like it, and it makes it look really cool.

Anatomy of Typing

Project Description

The project that I have done, and is shown below, demonstrates the Anatomy of typing by using my name. I used red for the lines and blue for the arrows so they would stand out better. The arrows are pointing to what the words are, for example; the counter is pointing to the blank space in the D, because that is what it is. The lines shown are the topline, x-height, and the bottomline. 

What I Learned

I learned what the Anatomy of Typing is, it is all the different parts of founts. For example; the arm of an E, or a T is a horizontal stroke not connected on one or both ends, or like how the hairline of a letter is the thin stroke of a serif typeface. All this new information I learned was really interesting to read and learn about.

How It Went

The project came out good. It didn't have all the words on it, because I didn't have all the letters in my name, but it had most of them. I learned a lot from this lesson, as you will read above. I had a lot of fun making it, mostly because I love looking at founts, but also because I got to use Adobe Illustrator more.
