Mr. Sparkle Shines!!!

So, this is my Mr. Sparkle logo, that i worked on for a couple weeks for Mr. Sparkles Glass Restoration Company.  I would love to be able to work on it some more, and i might get that chance, but we will see.  But for right now we are working on logos for the South Carolina Correctional Association.  This one is going to be slightly more tricky than the other logo we did.  I have a few ideas, hopefully one of them will work out. When this next logo is finished i will be sure to post it up. These logos are getting to be so much fun to do! Keep your eye out for my next blog, I will start putting up pictures of all my past projects! Peace Out!!!

Logomania!

I have become a logo-maniac! (if that is even a word?).  We have been creating logos for all sorts of different organizations! Our first one was for Mr. Sparkles Glass restoration company.  I completed mine, and it looks okay, but i still hope that i can work on it some more. It was a lot of fun!!! In our first design class we started some power point tutorials.  This was nice to get to do these again, because i have worked with power point a lot, but i haven't done it in a while.  So it was a good refresher.  I finished mine in the first class period, which was nice because i wouldn't have to do it later.  Anyway, we are starting a few more logos pretty soon, so this is getting really fun! I love designing these things!  I learn so much just messing around with these design programs, and i really like them a lot!  For now, i am leaving, but i will blog again soon!

The Creative Juices Are Flow'in!

Well, its been a while since i last wrote, but i have some awesome things to report to you!  The project we have been working on for our first design class has been using the program Excel.  This program lets you create and keep up with budget lists and any other kind of list you may need to use.  It is really useful for documenting and keeping track of money and other things.  We did a huge tutorial learning how to use Excel, and we have just completed it.  I learned alot about he program, i had taken a computer class in high school, but i think doing it again helped refresh me on how to use it.  Also, in our second design class we have been working on a Illustrator Tutorial for a logo.  It was really fun to do, i learned a lot about different tools and things I can use while creating a logo or anything on illustrator for that matter.  I finished mine up earlier today, and we will all be starting a new project in our next class.  This project was given to us by one of my professors friends who is starting up a glass restoration company.  He is asking for a logo for his new companies website.  So, what we are going to do, is each of us design a logo for the company, and one of ours will be chosen as the official logo after they are done.  This is going to be so much fun! As soon as i read the regulations for the logo my mind was flooded with ideas! This is going to be my favorite yet!
Peace Out!

New week = new projects

Graphic Design is getting more and more fun as I go into this field. I am learning so much about different software, and its really really fun! This week we started a new project in Visual Communications class (our first design class).  We started working on basic programs on computers. First we are going through the Excel program. This program is especially helpful for making tables and charts for a business.  As of today our assignment was to go take a bunch of tests and go through a bunch of "walk-throughs" to learn more about how to work the program. This project is due next week on tuesday. I am already halfway done so I will definatly be done with this project on time. On top of this we are finishing up our Illustration project. I am about three quarters of the way through with it, and it is due on thursday before class starts. Woah!!! Yes, it will be a squeeze to get it finished but i will make it happen somehow. My plan to to work on it all day tomorrow, and get it done. These projects are getting more complicated but its all part of the process. I heard rumored from my professor that we might be attempting a logo for our next project. YAY!!! This is going to be so much fun!
