My Starbucks Logo!



This is my personal logo project. I love starbucks so that is why i choose the logo. I think the pen tool could have been more cooperative but it could have turned out worse. I really want a white mocha chip latte right now.



Viva Las Vegas

This is my Las Vegas sign tutorial. I thought it turned out pretty good for what I did. Umm not as much pen tool as I thought I would be using but I think that is maybe why it turned out as well as it did.

my name with paint dumped all over it!

This is my splat tutorial outcome...um it isnt as good as the one in the tutorial, but I guess it still looks pretty awsome. I thought the red and green reminded me of christmas so i decided to go with a blue and a green. Ummmm....I didn't have a good expirience picking the colors for the actuall text itself so umm...I went with purple becuase it looked the best It might be a tad bit hard to read so very sorry about that. Umm...hope you like it. Cool.

Quote Changes

I made some changes to my quote. So sorry if I just totally blew it and now it's just a mess. I did try to make it confusing becuase Edgar Allan Poe was a very mysterious dude. I added some capital letters where they shouldn't be (Sorry grammer lovers) and I decided it would be a good idea to add some bold letters in there to. I'm sorry if it is a little to small to read...I didn't mess with my color choice. I did try to go with a darker red but it did not stand out as much. Any lighter and/or  brighter would have made it pink!

Spiral Tutorial

This is my spiral tutorial much like my quote how weird. I had know idea about this...just so you know. Hope you like it!

My Glyph Monster

This is my awsome monster I decided to name Toby the Destroyer of Worlds. Don't ask me why. Don't be fooled by his cuteness. He is a master of destruction. No worries though he is not here to conquer our planet...yet. He still has to find his lost gummybears. After that...well...then we can panic.

Quote

This quote is by Edgar Allan Poe who I think I captured in this seemingly odd layout. Poe could write very beautiful poetry as well. Im sorry my quote is such a head turner, but it gets the point across. I like my picture I think it looks great and  gives you a feel of the neverening uneasieness of Edgar Allan Poe. I think that the colors that I used in this quote are great for my purpose the red really stands out from the black to get my point across plus it looks awsome.

Design Elements

Texture

http://akvis.com/img/examples/sketch/wolf-color-sketch/bw-sketch-default.jpg

This sketch is of a wolf. The texture of the wolf seems to be furry, but it is just lines on paper.

This is called implied texture. Texture is the surface quality of a shape.

Lines

The arangement of the lines give this picture a futuristic quality. The lines of this picture gives it the balance, movement, and action.

 The direction in this picture decribes movement and seems almost to be moving

across the picture.

Shape

This dog is made up of a few shapes with addes details. Shapes are self contained areas that are made up of lines. For instance the dog's ears are triangles. The head and muzzle are circles. The body is an oval. Shapes can make many things.

Size

The person in the front looks bigger than the people in the back due to perspective. Size is simply the relationship of the area occupied by shape to that of another.
