Final Project

This project was very fun, it was a compilation of all the work i've done over the semester. This was done on the indesign software.

Animation

This Project i created for my friend who is a photographer. I made a slideshow of all his photos he’s taken, and then added his info at the end. This was all made on Adobe Photoshop.

Photoshop project

I created this Project in Adobe Photoshop. I used the background of a shot of space with mountains in front of it. Then I brought in the Delta sign, because it means change in math. Then used someone thinking, and a lightbulb going off in their head. Then I put hands with the world in them. This is to show you have the world in your hands. Then i used one of my favorite quotes “ The People Who Are Crazy Enough To Think They Can Change The World Are The Ones Who Do.”. 

Photoshop Graphic Design

To create this Project I used Adobe Photoshop. I used different types of brushes, and shapes. I tried to remake outer space. I wanted to make space, because it is interests me so much.

Magazine Cover

I made a Magazine Cover for a Fictional brand called Up-State. I used photos from me fishing and pictures from mountains I hiked over the years. I chose to make a outdoors magazine, because hiking and fishing is a big part of my life. I made this project in Adobe Photoshop.

I used a photo of me wakeboarding from over the summer. I took out all the background around me, and placed me on clouds. For this Project I used Adobe Photoshop.

Volkswagen GTI

In the Design on the other page, I recreated a MK3 Volkswagen GTI. This project was created in Adobe Illustrator. I chose to do this, because I used to own an MK5 GTI. That model was to difficult to create ,so I decided to create the old more box looking model.

This Project was done in Adobe Illustrator. We came up with the character in class, then had to make him in Adobe. I put him in a town setting.

Project 2

The company this logo is for is called Vibes radio. I used the blue in the V to give it that calm, relaxing feeling to it. I made headphones around the V to symbolize, that the company has to do with music. I also put the gradient circle on the bottom just to make the image pop more, and give it more of a complete look.

Caligramme

For this Project we used the program Adobe Photoshop. We had to draw something, and then put lyrics or words around the drawing. I mad a smiley face, and then put the lyrics from the song Don’t Worry Be Happy.

Logo Critique

These golden arches are one of the most famous logos around the world. The golden arches were introduced in 1962, as the chains logo.  The target audience that McDonald’s is looking for is anyone who is on the go, and has to stop for a quick bite.  This is one of the most successful logos out there I believe, if you go anywhere in the world and see the golden arches you know its McDonalds. It is a universal logo, and is known by all ages, and all groups. The color red plays a big part in their logo, because red is supposed to make you feel hungry.

Red Bull discovered in 1987, is known as one of the biggest energy drinks around the world. They sponsor all sports, but especially extreme sports.  There target audience is teens and young adults, it is for people who are on the go or are involved in some action sports and want that extra bit of energy. The logo speaks for itself considering the name is red bull, and the logo consists of two red bulls. The color used though is good; the color red gives it that excitement, adventurous, action feeling that the company portrays through its events.

Burton is a snowboarding company that has been around for years. It is one of the most recognizable snowboarding companies. They sponsor many events like the winter x games, Olympics, and other big snowboarding competitions. Jake Burton established the company in 1977. The logo targets snowboarders across the globe, at any ages. The logo is successful, because it is a lower case b that has a turn around that’s symbolizes for going back up. The logo is also scalable for any size, so you can place it on any type of equipment.

Volkswagen is company that began in Germany in the 1930’s. They designed a car that was affordable for all people. The Volkswagen is very simple, but is a big part of the company. The logo is a v over a w, surrounded by a circle.  I think their target market is the middle class, considering the make affordable cars. The color blue in this logo gives it that loyal, secure feeling that you would want with a vehicle.

Google has come a long way, discovered by Larry Page in 1996 at Stanford University. It is one of the most popular search engines around. The logo is recognized by millions of people all across the globe, it targets all ages and all types of people. The colors give it that friendly, welcoming feeling. I think this logo is very successful even though it is very simple; it has been very successful for the face of Google.
