Graphic Design

The ideas I came up with in my logo project, come from my initials.  I did a lot of sketches with my initials, by placing them in different orders, angles, and sides.  Now that I look back at it, I think that I should have been more simple.  The logo I made had many lines and too many things in it.  My t shirt design was probably my best.  I took the right amount of time sketching a lot of “I am” ideas then I found the right one and improved it.  The information that I was given about my partners poem let my mind think of many things that I could sketch out and put into thought.  I looked for inspiration from my friend that owns a clothing line and he uses his initials as well.  I though his company name was very simple and clever so I decided to do my initials also.  My ideas over the semester evolved immensely, as we got further into the semester, the more ideas I came up with and the better they were.
    The tools I needed for the ideas to happen were illustrator and a great mind.  Every time I thought of an idea, I would jot it down in my sketch book even if it was a good or bad one.  Then later on I would go back and choose the best one I had and then improve it as much as I could.  Sketching ideas is very important because it gives you many options to choose from and you can improve on all of them then choose the one that you like the most.  The sketch book is a very good tool to use because you can come up with a variety of different things you like and it makes your mind think a whole lot more.  With Adobe illustrator I was able to make many things that were creative.  Adobe Illustrator allows you to turn your sketches into something special.  You can put color and shapes into your own sketches to improve them even more.
    My work shows that I love the letters in my name and I think they are a good combination of letters.  The projects I did where based mostly on the things that I like to do.  The infographic that I made was based on my favorite sport, soccer.  The thing my infographic was about was the top five paid players in a certain league, it makes me a broad minded artist, most people would do something very basic like most paid players in the world but instead of that I did most paid in a certain league and only the top five players.  At the beginning of the semester I would say that I was more of a narrow minded artist because the things I did were very basic and most things I made were made very quick.  Towards the end of this semester, I think I turned into a better artist with more ideas that are better.
