Museum of Illustration

 

The workshop we had with David Curtis was really insightful and interesting. He gave a lot of interesting information that related to the creation of book covers and designs and the process to create one. I found it interesting that book covers reflect the key things and themes in the book. I always knew book covers reflected things that happen in the book but I never realized how creative people got when creating the illustrations and designs for the book. It made me start to think deeply about how key events and things in the book could be used to design a cover and got me thinking deeply about some of the things that happened in the books I read and made me think more deeply about it. I found the things he said about designing and illustrations really informative and the physical practice we did made me appreciate the themes of book covers more. He was very nice and provided honest feedback and ways to improve which I personally liked. I found his words informative and the talk I had with him about ideas opened my mind up more.



My book cover would get a 7/10. This is mainly because it wasn't finished or colored but I liked the design I was creating. The idea a had of making Spider Mans hand shooting webs that create his name was an idea I really liked.


I liked the museum a lot as there were many different styles and types of art. There were many pieces that caught my eye and I took a picture of all the art pieces that looked interesting to me. 


I was torn between two art pieces that were my favorite. One of them was a Godzilla vs. Mothra drawing which I like since I learned a lot about Godzilla due to my little brother and I also liked the art style of it. The other picture was this one of a guy looking sad sitting in a chair. I found it kinda funny how it looked but it really stood out as a unique piece.

Branded Print Ad: Reflection

Branded Ad Did Your Logo Do Well In The Ad? I think my logo did do well in the ad. The white color I put on it drags your eyes to it first since it contrasts with the dark colors on the ad. I also think its a good way to incorporate it on there as adding the logo to the bean would seen off and in this ad I'm not promoting one specific product but rather the brand as a whole so it made more sense to just leave it near the top of the ad. The logo stands out but not so much that it is the center of attention and allows you to gradually go from looking at the logo then the bean in the middle and then the text of the ad. If I were to change anything then I'd probably use my logo to promote a product. Putting my logo on a cup of coffee, can of coffee, or coffee bean bag would make more sense than leaving it at the top if I were to promote a product. Did Your Brand Research Help In The Making Of This Ad? I think brand research actually helped a lot when it came to making this ad. The ...

Logo Development

 Pencil Roughs For my pencil roughs, I decided to go with a few variations for half of the names I had because I wasn't really leaning towards one specific name at the time. During this process I spent a few days going over my names and what I wanted to do with them. With the names Torres, Alpine Sip, and Kosmik I had somewhat of an idea on what to do for them. For Torres I wanted to go for a script or transitional font in order to make the word Torres stand. For Alpine Sip, I had the idea of making a graphic of the alpine region. Finally for Kosmik, I decided to do a spacey idea, focusing on the cosmos, constellations and other aspects of space.  I personally found some of these sketches to be fun to make and I enjoyed making while others I didn't know what to do and decided to make something I believed fit the font. I feel like I could improve by taking better pictures of the images and maybe putting more thought and effort into those designs I wasn't motivated in making....

My Brand - Initial Ideas

  1. My brand belongs in the Beverage industry 2. The main product or service would be Coffee 3. The motivation of my brand would be to provide affordable and high quality coffee to customers 4.  Pleasant, Generous, Tasty 5. 3 values are to be affordable, have great quality, and have uniqueness to stick out from others,  6.

High Quality Coffee for Low Affordable Prices. 8. The demographics would be adults or anyone who enjoys coffee.

My target audience would experie...
