famous logos

in em this week we created famous logos through illustrator! we found tutorials on youtube and the internet to help us. i decided to create the Chanel logo and also the old Pepsi logo. i learned a lot of new things having to create these logos and having to learn how to do it on my own. learned a lot about the pen tool, which was difficult but i kept doing it over and over and eventually got the hang of it, and so much more.

these are the logos i created with the tutorials listed on them to guide me through how to make them.

graphic design

what is graphic design?

Graphic design is art that is a part of everyones lives, it contains words, color, emotion, size, shapes and creativity to create something like a label or logo. every day you can see a label on something like a soda can or even your school textbooks. its all graphic design, and it plays a big role in our lives.

3 personal connections-

  • when picking a book i normally go toward the books with the interesting covers that look aesthetically pleasing to me.
  • i don't like any of my school textbooks and one of my friends asked me why. and i responded they were ugly. most people don't like that they are textbooks for SCHOOL but the one thing that went to my head for why i didn't like it was the cover.
  • when I'm  looking Pinterest and a logo pops up it makes me want to draw it or make a new logo
