Final Digital Arts Project











Kendall and Kelsey are two sisters that make eco-friendly and positive energy products that are particularly jewelry. They are well known for their bracelets and necklaces. They believe in positive messages by their products enlighten the mind and empower the spirit and willing to share it with the world. On each piece of jewelry, they incorporated a powerful symbol and design of a (+) resembling energy.  This company is authentic and unique because of the organic work and to reveal beauty. The targeted audience Kendall & Kelsey Co. strive for are for any females, particularly teenagers and young women. Their jewelry can be worn for all ages of women. While creating this company, I choose shades of purple because it gives off a sophisticated look. The shades of purple appeal as calm and royal to make the company have higher class. The font is simple and the headings are in script to go along with the reasons of the design colors. Our logo is a combination of the two "K's" to stand for the names and put the "&" sign behind it for unique look. This logo is used in all brochures, business cards, and letter heads. 


*the pictures used in the brochure are taken from a formal company's office and personal items of the artist.

Lyrical Collage


This lyrical collage was inspired by the song "Paradise" by Coldplay. As you can see a part of the lyrics are inserted in the bottom left hand corner. In the lyrics it mentions a waterfall, butterfly, teardrop, and dreaming of paradise. With these words I was able to create a collage of a young women sleeping dreaming of paradise including the other objects that relate to the song lyrics.

Custom Graphic



In my custom graphic I was able to create my own brush and pattern to be used in this picture. The brush I created was the elephant. I used the magnetic tool to outline the body of the elephant and defined it as its own brush. Then for the pattern I created the sand. I created it by using one of the default patterns and changing the color to give it a sandy look. The brushes I used were downloaded from the class demos provided by Ms. Corrigan.

Self-Insertion

During my vacation to the islands, we found this beautiful cliff that was off the water. Our tour guide told us it was dangerous and to jump at our own risk. Being the daredevil I am, I was the only one who jumped off this cliff. Luckily, my mother took this perfect shot of me jumping off. But don't worry, I did not get hurt!

Final Logo



Kendall & Kelsey Co. is a well-known name brand for bracelets that are eco-friendly and organic. The colors I picked for this logo are different shades of maroon and purples. The reason why I picked this color theme is because it looks sophisticated and feminine. I did different shades on the "k" so show that the "k" stands for different names (Kendall and Kelsey). The & sign is very important because it shows that it is two names combined for the name of the company. Therefore, I enlarged the "&" and placed it in the background behind the  lettering. It is still easily recognized and read by putting it in a lighter shade. I got this idea by combining all the logos i sketched before and making it all one. The Kendall & Kelsey Co. will stand out anywhere and will be know as the two K's and the & sign!

Critiquing Company Logos



1. Above is the most popular fast food chains, McDonald's. This logo has been around since 1962 made by Jim Schindler. What makes this logo work and well known is the colors and simplicity it has. The colors red and yellow are bright and can stand out from miles away. It is easy to spot and recognize that it is McDonalds. The symbol that looks like a "M" are two golden arches that stood for a newborn restuarant. The only way the logo may not be as good as others is because it has changed multiple times over the years since it was originated. But the golden arches always remained. The word McDonald's can be very hard to see when the logo is printed smaller.  




2. The logo above is the Nike logo. It is know as the swoosh, created by Carolyn Davidson in 1971. This simple logo is easy to recognize and has a meaning that relates to their products. The swoosh represents a wing of a famous greek goddess who was known for inspiration and courageous warriors. It relates to their products because they carry all athletic necessities. It is famous to the world because its just one symbol to remember. The only thing that does not work for this logo is that it can easily be mistaken for a check mark or similar company logos. Also the swoosh is very plain and when printed smaller it can be looked at as a check mark instead. 




3. Starbucks is the most popular coffeehouse in the world and is well known everywhere. Starbucks is known to have the siren on their logo and having a round shape.  The logo uses only three colors, green, black and white to give it its look. This logo has not too many details where it can be overwhelming but it has enough to give its own character. The logo has not been changed drastically over the years. But the downfall of the logo is that it can be hard to seen if it printed very small. There is a lot of detail in the Starbucks logo and harder to see and make simpler if needed.


4. The FedEx logo is simple by using just words but it has a hidden meaning. The "E" connecting with the "X" forms an arrow point away from the word. Having this arrow is unique because it means that they are shipping things out. The logo is like an optical illusion that makes it well known. The only thing that might not work well for this logo is that the hidden arrow is neglected by many and also how plain the logo is. The logo has no symbol or object that represents the company name, therefore it is harder to recognize because it has to be read instead.



5. This logo of a bird is for the company, Twitter. This company is an online social network where people can say things on their mind. The bird and name of this company relates to what they do. A bird tweets, as a person "tweets" what they want to say. It is known as one of the most popular networking sites in the world. The classic white and blue colors keep it simple. With the bird in the center it is easily recognized. The logo is fairly new and has only been changed a couple of times. A downfall in the twitter logo is that it can be copied by another company very easily. Also it can be seen as boring.

Project 1: ASCII

A Quiet Night In the Sea

While creating my composition of a Html5 graphic, I first learned how to do radial gradient. I picked two colors that happened to look like a sunset, which gave me the idea to do a sunset graphic. I believe the background is what set the whole mood of a relaxing piece. After completing the radial gradient background, I continued to do waves that overlapped each other with different shades of blue. I incorporated two clouds that are a dark shade of grey to represent that night is near. After I put in the main details, there was still some things missing. Therefore I put in a sailboat floating on top of the water. The last thing I put into my piece was a shark swimming at the bottom of the sea. I put the shark half way in the graphic to show some suspense of what happened underneath the water. By having all these pieces put together I believe it made my graphic successful.
