LOGOS-Group Final Project

 

These were the first logo options that i was playing around with. After presenting them to my group we decided we liked the logo on the top right the best. We decided  to exchange the boat for a house because the boat is a little misleading. I really liked the oranges in the logos on the left third down. That was what inspired us to have blues and oranges as the color scheme for the rest of our project. 

These were some of my favorite logos that I created, but I was worried that they would be too "cute" for our design purpose. As a group we decided on the two logos displayed below. One boarder logo and one circle logo. 

Fight Club Make-Up Artists

 (Randy Westgate) The key makeup artist is the department head that answers directly to the director and production designer. They are responsible for planning makeup designs for all leading and supporting cast. Their department includes all cosmetic makeup, body makeup and if special effects are involved, the key make-up artist will consult with a special effects makeup team to create all prosthetics and SFX makeup in a production.

Makeup artist Julie Pearce, studied the fights to see what kind of makeup effects were going to be necessary. There is a significant amount a blood in the office scene where the narrater frames his boss. The blood gushing out of his nose and mouth, the bloody knuckles with shards of glass, the cuts on face and eyebrows, etc.. is all created by the makeup artist. 

Fun Fact: The right-handed Julie Pearce also learned how to do her job with her left hand at the insistence of Bonham Carter (Marla), who believed that Marla would not be good at, or care about, putting on makeup.

Compose Your Frame

This is a picture I took of my boyfriend Markus at The Wave almost a year ago. This picture follows the "Rule of Thirds" because Markus and the skyline are in one third of the picture. The white and yellow lines on the sandstone cause the picture to have a "Motion Vector" effect, moving the eyes from the bottom of the photo, up towards Markus and then into the blue sky. My favorite part about this picture is the "Diagonal Rule". I love that the skyline runs diagonally on the left side of the picture. Generally, I am used to seeing the skyline at the top of the image rather than diagonally to the side. I am excited to go back to The Wave so we can take some more cool pictures.

Design Evalutaion

Bad Design 

If someone were to just randomly show me this symbol I would not automatically think of Reebok. Reebok has changed their logo three times in order to keep up with Nike. 

Good Design 

The Nike "check mark" on the shoe gives the impression that the shoe is fast. When I see this symbol I automatically relate it to sports shoes and athletics. It's a simple design, but its brilliant because it relates to the law of simplicity. The Nike logo makes my eyes move from the left to the right quickly, following the law of continuity. The Reebok logo does not do the same thing to the mind. Both logos are simple, but Nike works better. I think that one of the key reasons Nike is so popular around the world is because of it's design.  

Law of Closure Group Activity

This is Meagan and this is the image I selected. This image is made up of a bunch of horizontal lines, but our eyes naturally see it as a rabbit. 

This is Ward and I chose this image because your eye fills in the missing letter for the USA network.

This is Jan, I chose this image of closure because I like the way it plays with the eyes. For a few seconds you are looking at many dark birds flying that turn into water for fish and then the white fish turn into sky for the birds.

The Visceral Response

    Santiago de Compostela, Galicia Spain 

There are several reasons why this image of the catholic cathedral gives me a visceral response. It's not because I am catholic or religious of some sort, but because the building itself is just so beautiful. I got to spend a summer in Galicia Spain when I was sixteen and visiting this cathedral is one of my fondest memories. I think the way the photo is taken also creates a visceral response. For Example, the lines from the photo being taken at an upward angle gives me the impression that the cathedral is pointing up into the sky (or maybe heaven). The spacing of this photo gives you the idea that the cathedral is even bigger than what is being shown because of the way it continues off the sides of the image. The lighting and the shadows casting onto the cathedral walls show texture in the building. It is almost like I am seeing it in person again.

Contrast Balance and Harmony

This photo was one of my favorites that I found while browsing for this first assignment. The contrast between the warm yellow and black draw the eye into the subject. The photo also has good balance because it is split into three sections. The way the white, yellow, orange and black go from light to dark, from top to bottom, allows the photo to have harmony. It's simple and beautiful.
