Web Project

                                                 This project was fairly quick once I got through a couple issues with my computer. There was an issue with the files being on the server, but with the help of Mr.Olson I got that cleared up. the only thing I didn't love about this project is that we all ended up with the same result, and we didn't really have an input in the turn out.
    There is a contract shown through the text background color which is a light tan, and the black background. It makes the words pop and it draws your attention to the text. There is also a contrast being that the first sentence is bolded, and it intrigues the reader enough to keep them hooked in.
     The text has a left alignment which is cohesive with the link at the top of the page. The whole text box appears to also be aligned left, with a thicker black strip on the right rather than on the left.
      Repetition is displayed in the color scheme. They ask you to chose a dark tan from the dog as well as a light tan, which is used various times throughout this site.
      As for proximity, there paragraphs are grouped together with a minimum of 3 lines. All text but the link are grouped together in a light tan box with rounded edges.
      Through this project I can observe how CSS and Carp styles make a website look more appealing to the eye. These styles make these websites look more efficient and professional, and overall just makes it look more like a reliable and trustworthy site. I am excited for 4th quarter and to see how my group works together as well as how out website turns out. 

Who are you?

I am an ESFP, which stands for Extrovert, Sensing, Feeling, and Perceiving. However in all of these I was in a lower percentage, which means I am pretty borderline. I think it is pretty spot on with my personality, it describes ESFPs and performers, and very social people. I am in cheer and I love to perform, I also really enjoy being around people. It usually always puts me in a better mood. I feel like its also        spot on when it says we like to stay busy, because I do. I absolutely hate being bored, I get stir crazy after staying home for a day. I am also really good at adapting to my surroundings, sense transferring to Northwest this year and trying out for cheer. Its also right when it describes ESFPs as flexible and down-to-earth, I'm really good at just going with whatever is happening. 

As for my LOGB profile, my scores were all fairly close to each other. My 2 highest that I feel represent me most were the Lion and the Beaver. I am a very strong and direct leader, but I am not argumentative. Thats were I feel like I am more the a Beaver, high standards and very optimistic. I am encouraging to my group but my weakness definitely is having unrealistic expectations, which is VERY frustrating in group projects when not everyone is doing their part

Logo Design

        This logo design project started out with a LOT of sketching. I am somewhat of a creative person, so sketching was by far my favorite part. I had so many ideas it was almost overwhelming. I would get ideas at random times, once even during a math test where I preceded to sketch it out ON my test. My math teacher actually wrote on it and asked me if it was my trademark. It was such a fun process and I really made a lot of things I was proud of.
          Once it was time to do it on Adobe illustrator, I wasn't really nervous at all because I am fairly comfortable with the software. My logo had to have some altercations and I worked through them. It was really interesting actually seeing my logo, not only on a screen but being able to see it on t shirts and signs. I chose my color to be a dark maroon because it symbolizes warmth and wholeness. Overall I had a lot of fun in Graphic Design and I am excited to learn more about it next year.

Oz Poster-CARP

Contrast~ This poster uses contrast in a variety of ways. For the title, "The Wizard of Oz", i used contrast on the words Wizard and Oz. I used a different font, font size, color, and i also added a glow to make the words stand out more.

Alignment~ For the title i used a centered alignment, although for the information i had them align to opposing sides. I chose to do this because i feel it gives a more full and even affect.

Repetition~ I used the same font for the extra information, and with the groups i kept the same font size. I also used the repeated line theme, which i feel like also helps grouping.

Proximity~ For grouping i used similar font sizes. I also used lines and boxes to separate different ideas. 

Typefaces

            Through this project I have learned quite a lot about typefaces. For this project we were assigned to follow an instructional video and create this name plate, labeling parts of the typefaces. It was somewhat confusing because I wasn't sure if some of the things were applicable to different letters, or lowercase, or even depended on the font. For example, the diagonal stroke was shown on an uppercase A, and I used it on a lowercase z and I wasn't sure what the exact standards were. 

          

            If I had to do this project again I think I would spend more time picking out a font. I would also spend a little more time with colors and just the over all neatness of this project. One thing I found difficult was my name. I don't have ay letters that hang below the base line, so quite a few of the terms were not usable for my name. Overall I really enjoyed this project and am looking forward to going further in depth about typefaces!

Color Wheel 

  For this project, we were assigned to create our very own color wheel using adobe illustrator. For me personally, this was quite easy and I finished this project decently early. A lot of the tools were easy to assume, having worked lots of photoshop. although one thing I found interesting was how the work space isn't necessarily a background like it is in photoshop. If I were to do this assignment again I would most likely spend a bit more time prestigiously picking my colors and making it as seamless as possible. I am very excited to see what else we get to do in graphic design, because so far I really love it!

Color Schemes of Logos

analogous

This logo is analogous because it uses a darker brown on top of a more tan color, and I think that they chose this logo because it makes you think of a box that a package ups would deliver to you.

complementary

This logo is analogous because it uses a darker green with more of a neon yellow, and I think this brand chose this logo because you associate green with the outdoors.

warm

 

This logo uses warm colors in an analogous style, they use warm reds and oranges to represent warmth. This logo uses the darker maroon to represent a shadow and the yellow orange to be the highlights. 

This logo is different from the last, it still uses warm toned colors, although they are used in a gradient demo a warm red to a yellow orange. This again is used to represent warmth.

cool

This logo includes the cool toned colors purple and green. The green represents a more natural feel, and a company wants to consumers to believe their products are natural.

The FedEx ground logo also uses the cool toned colors purple and green, I believe they would chose these colors because they represent a feeling of peace and calmness, and they want you to trust their services.

monochromatic

This logo is monochromatic and adds a tint towards the right to represent light, there is also shade at the bottom left to add dimension and bring it to life. I feel they chose this logo because it is calming and feels full.

The type logo is monochromatic because it shows a gradient from a lighter blue with a tint at the top, to a shaded darker blue at the bottom. I feel Skype chose to go with this logo because it is supposed to represent a cloud, and the shading truly makes it feel three dimensional.

complementary 

  

 The Firefox logo represents a complementary color scheme because it is and orange red and blue. I believe they chose this logo because the warm orange represents the fire, and it is a search engine so the blue globe seems logical.

The Krispy Kreme logo is complementary because it uses red and green. I believe they would of chose these colors because red is often used in food, and is thought to make people hungry.

triad color

  

 The Burger King logo represents a triad color scheme because it uses red, yellow, and blue. I think they chose this because the large red font again makes people think of food.

The Dole logo also uses the triad colors, red, yellow and blue. I think they decided to do this because the center of attention goes to the bright and neon yellow, which makes you think of a sun.
