Logo Design and Layout Stages

Here are a few of my logos. A lot of it was me scribbling things all over the paper and then finally picking one. The one I can up with is just three lines blacked out with one being smaller than the other two. 

This is my finished logo. "Simplicity Is Key" 

My Type Assignment

I put a lipstick tube as an "I" in the word "Kiss".
When I think of someone kissing someone in a movie the girl always seems to have on lipstick, so I thought it was appropriate.

"Let's Eat". A popular phrase amongst people my age. Whether it be sports, games, or just anything competitive in life. That was the idea.












I used a mouse as the "O" in the word "mouse".

"Phone Book". The idea was a phone book. Nothing too in-depth about this. I saw the pictures and this instantly came to mind, even though I don't think I have ever actually used one.

The idea was to put an image that relates to the text. "You're the bomb". I thought it was awesome so this is what I chose. I would never say this out loud so I decided to put it on my project.

I made the "L" fall over in the word "fall". Get it? That was the idea

Type Figures Process

1. To create my figure I used "0" and "o" "V" and "Y" to make a can face with a hat. I just arranged the letters in Indesign

2. "Nascar Crash"
The letters are crashing into each other to make it a little bit of irony

3. "The Heart Wants What It Wants" in the shape of a heart. I used the pen tool to create a heart shape and placed the words around it.

4. My emoticon is a smiley face. The (:

5. "Faded" is my word and I went into photoshop and faded the word out so that you barely see it. I used a filter and whitened it a little bit.

Type Figures In Adobe InDesign

Hello, so today I made a booklet using indesign using 5 pictures.

First, I made a figure using letters and numbers
Second, I made a sentence where the letters related to the concept of the picture
Third, I made a shape using letters.
Fourth, Created a sentence with an emoticon
Lastly, I created a form using related text to the idea.









Here is the booklet before it was put together

 Heres my booklet after it was finished 

(pg 6 the word is "faded" and it faded out so you can't see it too well)

Vector Selfie File Size Comparison

Complex Photo
High Fidelity
661 Points
File Size: 1.8 MB

Simple Photo
3 Colors
29,107 Points
File Size: 7.5 MB

Line
2 Anchor Points
10 pt Stroke
2 Points

There are 3 images that I've traced. The high fidelity photo is smaller than the picture with 3 colors. The line only has 2 points and is smaller than both of the pictures. The less data the smaller the file size.

Sony Logo Resolution Experiment

This is my sony logo after I traced it using High Fidelity in Illustrator. Then logo came out really smooth and you can see the colors nicely. I changed the original to RGB color mode then changed the resolution to 1000. Then opened it in   illustrator and traced it. I would want to use this one for a vector logo.

This is my logo after i changed it to RGB and changed the resolution. It looks like good quality but there are still some rough edges to the picture. I wouldn't want to use this logo.

GIF Colors and Quality

This is my photo saved as a Gif with only 6 colors. You can see that the quality is terrible and you can barely see anything in the picture. When you save things as Gif files it goes into Indexed color mode. Indexed color mode only has 256 colors or less. As stated before, there are only 6 colors in this photo.

This is that same photo saved as a gif with 200 colors in it. As you can see the photo is much clearer. You can see a lot more of the details. The photo isn't smudged together like the first picture. Even though the picture is the same, this picture has a bigger file size. The file size is bigger because there is a lot more data to be saved. The amount of colors that you use in a picture makes the photo bigger or smaller when it comes to file size
