My Logo

This project was to expand your experience with Adobe Illustrator. We started this project by watching videos of the meaning of squares, circles, and triangles. We then sketched drawings of what we thought we wanted our logo to look like. After we thought we knew the general idea of what we want, we went on to Adobe Illustrator and tried to recreate our drawing on the computer. I used lots of line tools to create a candy effect type of logo and found a font that created a girly type feel to the words. To swoop out the ends of the A's, I zoomed in and went on picture formatting, then grabbed pixels till I liked the way it looked. I then zoomed out and lined up all the text with the circle. 

A few problems I ran into were having to figure out how to zoom in on the pixels and creating the swoop effect. Another one that happened was after I created the lines and fit them into the circle, I had to put them behind the letters but above the circle. Me, being the blonde I truly am, didn't know I had a fill in the circle. So I then made the circle no fill and got the lines behind the letters. I thought I lined up the letters with the circle good, and created the candy effect that I was hoping for. The lines sticking out the A's definitely need work in making it look less robic like and more like an actually candy. If I were to change anything next time, I would test out more colors and probably change the pink to a more subtle color. I also wanted to have the Y connect into the circle and have it swoop around. I probably wouldn't have created the lines originally, but I thought the space needed something extra to make it more bold.

I created this on Adobe Illustrator and changing the fonts and style of the letters.

Why Color Matters

In the business world, some investors or business partners base your business on your colors. If it's something bright and happy, they'll assume on the inside it's the same thing. If it's dark and cold, they could maybe assume it's not the best place to interact with. Most costumers will pull up to the business and if it's friendly looking and great service they will most likely come back. Of course, there are still those little coffee shops or bakeries that are in weird parts of town but still have excellent service and magnificent food. It should have that warm and cozy feeling when you walk in, to make you feel welcome rather than ignored. For example, Panera. It has that warm feeling of light subtle colors on the outside and an aroma of sweet bread and pastries on the inside. Complete with couches and free wifi, indicating it's a relaxing and quiet place to work and not be disturbed.

My Personality Type

My Personality Type is ENFJ, 22% Extravert, 12% iNtuitive, 12% Feeling, and 22% Judging. ENFJ's are natural born leaders, full of passion and charisma. Forming around 2% of the population, they are often our politicians, coaches, and teachers, telling us to do good in the world. With natural confidence, ENFJ's take a great deal in pride and joy guiding others to work together and improve. 2% of the men popular is ENFJ and 3% are woman. A famous person with ENFJ personality type is Martin Luther King Jr.

For the most part, this description is like me. I have a tendency to be responsible, and help motivate others. I like to work individually better rather than in groups, but if I am in a group I try to lead out if no one else is going for it. I'm not so much sociable because I came from a different school and have no friends here, but if I were to go to my original school, I would most likely talk to more people since I know everyone from my middle school. When I'm in a group and there's someone who doesn't have a group yet, it really depends if I think they'll get along with my group well or they would just argue the whole time. Reading my description and figuring out my personality I would say this is my personality and when I think back on projects where I worked with other people, it helped me understand WHY I was so out going.

When I'm with my family and we're playing a game, I'm quite competitive, and so I end up dancing for an hour if I win, and if I lose I scream. If we're partnered up I tend to pressure my partner to win and try to do all the work myself, mostly as a joke though. As I said before, I'm competitive, so if I'm playing a game with my friends such as laser tag or just a board game, I'll mostly likely try to win, but the good thing is, my friends are competitive too so they don't look at me weird. Maybe that's why were friends.
