logo reflections

1. What was the most challenging aspect of creating your Logo design?

The most challenging aspect of the logo design process was trying to incorporate the elements of newspaper and MHS together.  I ended up drawing so many sketches and not even using any of them since I came up with a completely new design on Illustrator.  I was also trying to "think outside of the box" in creating an original design, but I don't think that really worked out.

2. How did you overcome the challenge?

I'm not sure if I fully overcame my challenge, but I'm sure I managed to deal with some of it.  Instead of putting so much detail in the newspaper like I originally did in my sketches, I decided to just simplify it.

3. What was the most successful aspect of your Logo design?

I believe the most successful part of design is the detail in the logo itself.  Everything was created by hand and I haven't created such an elaborate design in a while. I also thought that the font choice was better than the ones I used before.  This script font gave the logo a more elegant feel to it.

[ ◕ ◡ ◕ ] mid-winter break

Over mid-winter break, I was so unproductive in terms of homework, but I managed to spend a lot of time with my friends.  I celebrated my friend's birthday at Favor Taste 99 last Friday and it was slightly insane since we sat there eating for almost four hours straight.  I'm pretty sure we were the loudest table there, actually.  On Monday, I went clothes shopping with my friends, which I haven't done in a long time.  I still can't believe we shopped from 10AM to 6:30PM... My feet were screaming "RIP RIP RIP" after that.  I went bowling on Tuesday night and had Thai food for dinner with friends.  As for the rest of break, I stayed up almost every night talking.  I had so much fun during break that I really can't wait for spring break.

Scoreboard for the first bowling game hahaha. I came in third!

[ ⊙ ω ⊙ ] looking at art in nyc

"Untitled", created by Laura Owens.
Created usign acrylic, silkscreen inks, Flashe, oil, and gesso on linen.

1. This artwork was from the MoMa.  Around this piece, there are some more abstract, but simple types of work from various artists.  The pieces ranged from containing only a couple colors to a wide variety.
2. I really liked how this piece was similar to a children's storybook since it had some fairytale elements in it.  Also, the background of the piece is lined paper that children use to learn the alphabet.  However, the story itself was a little dark (for Children) and the appearance of this piece is a little... mismatched, I would say.
3. Laura Owens, the artist of this piece, was born in 1970 and is American.  Other than that, I do not know much about her.
