Week 5: Logo Design (3/3/19)

1. Discuss what you thought about creating your logo.
I enjoyed creating my own logo. I have always enjoyed logos to some extent, whether they were company logos or sports teams logos. I like the idea of condensing your business into one graphic image as a way of communicating to the world. 
2. Describe the process: creative thinking skills and ideas you used in the logo creation.
I first thought about what I wanted the image to be about, and then focused on the style and finally the color. I wanted my logo to match part of my personality, and therefore I created a clean and tech-y feel to my logo. The colors of blue, green, and white I felt made the logo pop.  
3. What was the most important discovery you made in the creation of your logo?
The most important discovery in the creation of my logo was how important it is to have balance in the logo so that the whole thing flows together, as well as the need to capture the attention of the person glancing at it. 
4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos, powerpoint, and reading material for this project? What is your opinion of the videos?
I learned a lot from the videos about how the graphic designers work with the businesses to convey the business' message/identity through a logo and brand. The videos provided good insight as to how a change in a company's logo and updating the look of the brand is tremendously important to stay competitive in today's economy. It was cool to see the process of creating a brand to market a product to the public, for example, the rebranding of Marmite squeezable bottles. A lot more effort and thought go into the process than I originally thought.

Blog Post 1 - 2/1/19

1. How was the process of creating the  GMail  account and setting up the  Blog ? It was a fairly easy and straightforward process to create the blog. I used a GMail account that I already had set up and check frequently.  2. What do you expect to learn in this course? I expect to have a better understanding of the basics of contemporary art after completing this course. I do not currently have much experience in understanding the principles of visual art, and do not have a solid framework to be able to look at a piece of art and critique it in any nuanced way. I hope this course will allow me to do so.  3. How do you feel about taking an  online  course? I feel good about taking an online course such as this. I feel as if this is a course where it will be easier to complete online rather than meeting in a physical classroom. I like the ability to complete the assignments at my own pace throughout the week.  4. What three things in the Growth Mindset (from Step 3)  vid eos

Module 5: Art Gallery Visit #1

A.) Which artworks make an impact or impression on me? Why? Pablo Picasso's Nude Figure, late spring 1910, made an impression on me. I have not seen too many Picasso paintings in real life, so this was a treat. I love the black, white, and beige color palate, and the shapes used to create the person's body is very unique. The other painting that I feel made an impression on me was Jean Metzinger's Danseuse au cafe , 1912. This painting has a lot going on in it. There is a lot of contrasting colors and shapes that give it a very unique look and feel. Your eyes are directed towards the black and white diamond pattern as well as the blue color that pops out at you. I really enjoyed staring at this painting for a good while.  B.) Which artworks do I feel a connection with? Why? The Mark Rothko "Orange and Yellow" was the painting that I connected with the most. This painting is abstract and emotional while being so simple. At first glance, it doesn't seem l
