I have been spending a lot of time this week on my almost final project for design class.
We had to pick one of our shape drawings to use for a logo design project.
Remember the Gerber daisy I drew that looks like a sun? I decided to use that design.
Next we had to think of a business name that would go with our logo. I have always wanted to learn to surf, and I love Roxy, Quicksilver and Billabong clothing, so that was the inspiration for my hypothetical business – Sun Devil Surf Wear. We also had to find a font that goes with the image of our business.
The first of four illustrator boards had to be painted in just black.
The second illustrator board has to be painted in two analagous colors. I am going to use red and orange.
The third illustrator board has to be painted in two complimentary colors or two to three split complimentary colors. I am going to use orange and blue.
The last board has to have small versions of the first three designs arranged in a creative way.
Finally, all the boards should be assembled into an accordion book, similar to my value project. I promise I will show you pictures of the final book.
After this logo design project is done, I have one project left for the semester – to create a color inspiration board for a book cover, band tour poster, or the above business we made up. I have always wanted to create an inspiration board for something, and now I have a mission. Just need to decide what be inspired by – this book or this book.

Awesome! You’re almost there and then….Quilting?
It’s looking great so far! In one way I wish we were doing more sophisticated projects like this for my Color or Graphic Design classes, but on the other hand, I don’t know how to draw, so it’s probably a good thing we aren’t! I can’t wait to see the final project. 🙂
It’s looking great! Looking forward to the finish project. 🙂 Hope your having a wonderful weekend!
This is a great project…I can’t wait to see your inspiration board…I’ve been wanting to make one of those!
