Logo Design 1

Five important steps in creating a logo:
First, figure out what the company does and how you want to represent it in the logo.
Second, make a plan for the logo. This could include a description or sketches.
Third, transfer or remake the plan/sketch into an image editor.
Next, make sure that the logo is going in the direction the client wants it to.
Lastly, change anything the client is unhappy with and finalize the design.

Rectangle and Triangle Tessellations

1. Which tessellation did you find more interesting to do? In what ways was it more interesting than the other? Please explain.

I found the rectangular tessellation more interesting to do. It was more interesting because it was harder to make, as I started from scratch. The triangular tessellation was easier because I was able to use a premade picture. Being easy does not make it interesting, however the added detail from using a photograph raises the interest-level slightly.


Look at your peers' work on the ning . Which two designs do you find the most successful? What qualities make them so successful?

I feel that Devin’s triangle tessellation and Tom’s rectangle tessellation are the most successful tessellations. I really like how Devin used both in- and out-of-focus parts of the photograph and how it draws attention to the edges. I like how Tom’s clearly shows a fish, but I would definitely make the lines between the head and tail-fin bolder. The shape that he used is cool looking and different from all the other shapes I saw used.


Looking at the Grading Criteria for each design, how would you rate BOTH designs on a scale of 1-4, 4 being the highest? Please explain each grade.

I believe that I deserve a 3.5 on my rectangle tessellation because the shape is clearly that of a bear. I tried to stay away from using too much detail in each shape to keep it simple, but I am glad I used different colors of bears, symbolizing black bears, brown bears, and polar bears. I think that I deserve a 3 on the triangle tessellation. I was aiming for more detail with this one, but when I scaled it down to allow more tessellations to fit some of that detail was lost.
