logo assignment

 Logo Assignment

 I have chosen to represent my self as a giraffe because I am tall, I am skinny, my favorite colour is yellow even though giraffes are brown, and everyone says they are yellow, because from far away they look slightly yellow. Giraffes are also really fast and I love running, and I also find Giraffes to be calm, like me. 

The elements/ principles of design that I have used are texture, pattern, proportion, contrast, variety, line, colour, shape, space, and form.

Texture: the giraffe spots looks bumpy but it also look smooth. Pattern: the spot create a pattern. Proportion: the spots change size, so some of them are really big and some are really small. Contrast: I would say that there is contrast because of the bright colour and because of the way the colour changes. Variety: I think the spots create variety. Line: there is multiple line because we had to trace it. Colour:  there is multiple colours (yellow, orange, yellow, brown, black. Shape: the spots are different and odd-looking shapes.  Space: the giraffe is my positive space and the background is my negative space. And Form, it looks a bit 3D.

The technical part of this assignment took me some time to get use to, I found it hard to use the pen tool at first but as I got used to it, it got a lot easier.  I learned a lot of tools like the pen tool, undo, etc. I used 6 layers and I didn’t really use any effects I just found the yellow/orange/red colour when I was looking for a certain colour for my giraffe.

I am really happy with my logo and how it turned out, there isn’t anything I would change except the style of the letters. I learned that designing a logo is not the easiest thing to do, when I seen the demonstration I thought it would be a breeze but no it was really hard. Next, I want to make random designs on illustrator, and im not too sure what I want to learn next.
